Class: QgsRectangle

class qgis.core.QgsRectangle

Bases: sip.wrapper

QgsRectangle(xMin: float, yMin: float = 0, xMax: float = 0, yMax: float = 0) Constructor

QgsRectangle(p1: QgsPointXY, p2: QgsPointXY) Construct a rectangle from two points. The rectangle is normalized after construction.

QgsRectangle(qRectF: QRectF) Construct a rectangle from a QRectF. The rectangle is normalized after construction.

QgsRectangle(other: QgsRectangle) Copy constructor

A rectangle specified with double values.

QgsRectangle is used to store a rectangle when double values are required. Examples are storing a layer extent or the current view extent of a map

intersect(self, rect: QgsRectangle) → QgsRectangle

Returns the intersection with the given rectangle.

intersects(self, rect: QgsRectangle) → bool

Returns true when rectangle intersects with other rectangle.

invert(self)

Swap x/y coordinates in the rectangle.

isEmpty(self) → bool

Returns true if the rectangle is empty. An empty rectangle may still be non-null if it contains valid information (e.g. bounding box of a point).
