Class: QgsLineString¶
- class qgis.core.QgsLineString¶
Bases:
QgsCurve
Line string geometry type, with support for z-dimension and m-values.
New in version 2.10.
QgsLineString() Constructor for an empty linestring geometry.
QgsLineString(points: Sequence[Union[
QgsPoint
,QgsPointXY
, Sequence[float]]]) Construct a linestring from a sequence of points (QgsPoint
objects,QgsPointXY
objects, or sequences of float values).The linestring Z and M type will be set based on the type of the first point in the sequence.
New in version 3.20.
QgsLineString(segment:
QgsLineSegment2D
) Construct a linestring from a single 2d line segment.New in version 3.2.
QgsLineString(x: Iterable[float], y: Iterable[float], z: Iterable[float] = [], m: Iterable[float] = [], is25DType: bool = False) Construct a linestring from arrays of coordinates. If the z or m arrays are non-empty then the resultant linestring will have z and m types accordingly. This constructor is more efficient then calling
setPoints()
or repeatedly callingaddVertex()
If the
z
vector is filled, then the geometry type will either be a LineStringZ(M) or LineString25D depending on theis25DType
argument. Ifis25DType
isTrue
(and them
vector is unfilled) then the created Linestring will be a LineString25D type. Otherwise, the LineString will be LineStringZ (or LineStringZM) type.If the sizes of
x
andy
are non-equal then the resultant linestring will be created using the minimum size of these arrays.New in version 3.0.
QgsLineString(p1:
QgsPoint
, p2:QgsPoint
) Constructs a linestring with a single segment fromp1
top2
.New in version 3.2.
