Class: QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination

class qgis.core.QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination(name: str, description: str = '', type: QgsProcessing.SourceType = QgsProcessing.TypeVectorAnyGeometry, defaultValue: Any = None, optional: bool = False, createByDefault: bool = True)

Bases: qgis._core.QgsProcessingDestinationParameter

Constructor for QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination.

If createByDefault is false and the parameter is optional, then this destination output will not be created by default.

QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination(QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination)

A vector layer destination parameter, for specifying the destination path for a vector layer created by the algorithm.

Note

Consider using the more flexible QgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink wherever possible.

Creates a new parameter using the definition from a script code.

fromVariantMap(self, map: Dict[str, Any]) → bool
hasGeometry(self) → bool

Returns true if the created layer is likely to include geometries. In cases were presence of geometry cannot be reliably determined in advance, this method will default to returning true.
