metric()
minScale(self) → float

Returns the minimum scale, or 0 if no minimum scale set. The scale value indicates the scale denominator, e.g. 1000.0 for a 1:1000 map. Any scale lower than the minimum scale will automatically be converted to the minimum scale. Except for 0 which is always allowed.

Return type

float

mousePressEvent()
mouseReleaseEvent()
moveEvent()
nativeEvent()
paintEvent()
receivers()
resizeEvent()
scale(self) → float

Returns the selected scale as a double. The scale value indicates the scale denominator, e.g. 1000.0 for a 1:1000 map.

setScale()

Return type

float

scaleChanged

Emitted when user has finished editing/selecting a new scale. The scale value indicates the scale denominator, e.g. 1000.0 for a 1:1000 map. [signal]

scaleString(self) → str

Returns the selected scale as a string, e.g. “1:150”.

setScaleString()

Return type

str

sender()
senderSignalIndex()
setMapCanvas(self, canvas: QgsMapCanvas)

Set the map canvas associated to the current button.

Parameters

canvas (QgsMapCanvas) –

setMinScale(self, scale: float)

Set the minimum allowed scale. Set to 0 to disable the minimum scale. The scale value indicates the scale denominator, e.g. 1000.0 for a 1:1000 map. Any scale lower than the minimum scale will automatically be converted to the minimum scale. Except for 0 which is always allowed.

Parameters

scale (float) –

setScale(self, scale: float)

Set the selected scale from a double. The scale value indicates the scale denominator, e.g. 1000.0 for a 1:1000 map.

scale()

Parameters

scale (float) –

setScaleFromCanvas(self)

Assigns the current scale from the map canvas, if set.

setMapCanvas()

setScaleString(self, string: str) → bool

Set the selected scale from a string, e.g. “1:150”.

scaleString()

Parameters

string (str) –

Return type

bool

setShowCurrentScaleButton(self, showCurrentScaleButton: bool)

Sets whether to show a button to set the scale to the current scale of the map canvas next to the combobox.

Note

the map canvas must be defined to show the button

setMapCanvas()

Parameters

showCurrentScaleButton (bool) –

sharedPainter()
showCurrentScaleButton(self) → bool

Returns whether a button to set the scale from map canvas is shown or not.

Return type

bool

showEvent()
tabletEvent()
timerEvent()
toDouble(scaleString: str) → Tuple[float, bool]

Helper function to convert a scale string to double. The returned value indicates the scale denominator, e.g. 1000.0 for a 1:1000 map. If specified, ok will be set to true if the string was successfully interpreted as a scale.

toString()

Parameters

scaleString (str) –

Return type

Tuple[float, bool]

toString(scale: float) → str

Helper function to convert a scale double to scale string. The scale value indicates the scale denominator, e.g. 1000.0 for a 1:1000 map.

The returned string will be rounded (e.g. 1:1000, not 1:1000.345).

Parameters

scale (float) –

Return type

str

updateMicroFocus()
updateScales(self, scales: Iterable[str] = [])

Sets the list of predefined scales to show in the combobox. List elements are expected to be valid scale strings, such as “1:1000000”.

Parameters

scales (Iterable[str] = []) –

wheelEvent()
