Class: QgsRubberBand

class qgis.gui.QgsRubberBand(mapCanvas: QgsMapCanvas, geometryType: QgsWkbTypes.GeometryType = QgsWkbTypes.LineGeometry)

Bases: qgis._gui.QgsMapCanvasItem

Creates a new RubberBand.

Parameters:
  • mapCanvas – The map canvas to draw onto. It’s CRS will be used map points onto screen coordinates.
  • geometryType – Defines how the data should be drawn onto the screen. (Use Qgis.Line, Qgis.Polygon or Qgis.Point)

A class for drawing transient features (e.g. digitizing lines) on the map.

The QgsRubberBand class provides a transparent overlay widget for tracking the mouse while drawing polylines or polygons.

Bases: int

addGeometry(self, geometry: QgsGeometry, layer: QgsVectorLayer)

Adds the geometry of an existing feature to a rubberband This is useful for multi feature highlighting. As of 2.0, this method does not change the GeometryType any more. You need to set the GeometryType of the rubberband explicitly by calling reset() or setToGeometry() with appropriate arguments. setToGeometry() is also to be preferred for backwards-compatibility.

Parameters:
  • geometry – the geometry object. Will be treated as a collection of vertices.
  • layer – the layer containing the feature, used for coord transformation to map

crs. In case of 0 pointer, the coordinates are not going to be transformed.

addGeometry(self, geometry: QgsGeometry, crs: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem = QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem()) Adds a geometry to the rubberband.

If crs is specified, the geometry will be automatically reprojected from crs to the canvas CRS.

New in version 3.0.

addPoint(self, p: QgsPointXY, doUpdate: bool = True, geometryIndex: int = 0)

Adds a vertex to the rubberband and update canvas. The rendering of the vertex depends on the current GeometryType and icon. If adding more points consider using update=false for better performance

Parameters:
  • p – The vertex/point to add
  • doUpdate – Should the map canvas be updated immediately?
  • geometryIndex – The index of the feature part (in case of multipart geometries)
asGeometry(self) → QgsGeometry

Returns the rubberband as a Geometry

Returns:A geometry object which reflects the current state of the rubberband.
closePoints(self, doUpdate: bool = True, geometryIndex: int = 0)

Ensures that a polygon geometry is closed and that the last vertex equals the first vertex.

Parameters:
  • doUpdate – set to true to update the map canvas immediately
  • geometryIndex – index of the feature part (in case of multipart geometries)

New in version 2.16.

contextMenuEvent()
dragEnterEvent()
dragLeaveEvent()
dragMoveEvent()
drawShape(self, p: QPainter, pts: Iterable[Union[QPointF, QPoint]])

Draws shape of the rubber band.

Parameters:
  • p – The QPainter object
  • pts – A list of points used to draw the shape
dropEvent()
fillColor(self) → QColor

Returns the current fill color.

focusInEvent()
focusOutEvent()
getPoint(self, i: int, j: int = 0) → QgsPointXY

Returns a vertex

Parameters:
  • i – The geometry index
  • j – The vertex index within geometry i
hoverEnterEvent()

movePoint(self, p: QgsPointXY, geometryIndex: int = 0)

Moves the rubber band point specified by index. Note that if the rubber band is not used to track the last mouse position, the first point of the rubber band has two vertices

movePoint(self, index: int, p: QgsPointXY, geometryIndex: int = 0) Moves the rubber band point specified by index. Note that if the rubber band is not used to track the last mouse position, the first point of the rubber band has two vertices
