Class: QgsCoordinateTransformContext¶

class qgis.core.QgsCoordinateTransformContext¶

Bases: sip.wrapper

Constructor for QgsCoordinateTransformContext.

QgsCoordinateTransformContext(rhs: QgsCoordinateTransformContext) Copy constructor

Contains information about the context in which a coordinate transform is executed.

The context stores various information regarding which coordinate operations should be used when transforming points from a source to destination coordinate reference system.

Note

QgsCoordinateTransformContext objects are thread safe for read and write.

Note

QgsCoordinateTransformContext objects are implicitly shared.

Methods

`addCoordinateOperation`	Adds a new `coordinateOperationProjString` to use when projecting coordinates from the specified `sourceCrs` to the specified `destinationCrs`.
`addSourceDestinationDatumTransform`	Adds a new `sourceTransform` and `destinationTransform` to use when projecting coordinates from the specified `sourceCrs` to the specified `destinationCrs`.
`calculateCoordinateOperation`	Returns the Proj coordinate operation string to use when transforming from the specified `source` CRS to `destination` CRS.
`calculateDatumTransforms`	Returns the pair of source and destination datum transforms to use for a transform from the specified `source` CRS to `destination` CRS.
`clear`	Clears all stored transform information from the context.
`coordinateOperations`	Returns the stored mapping for source to destination CRS pairs to associated coordinate operation to use (as a proj string).
`hasTransform`	Returns `True` if the context has a valid coordinate operation to use when transforming from the specified `source` CRS to `destination` CRS.
`readSettings`	Reads the context’s state from application settings.
`readXml`	Reads the context’s state from a DOM `element`.
`removeCoordinateOperation`	Removes the coordinate operation for the specified `sourceCrs` and `destinationCrs`.
`removeSourceDestinationDatumTransform`	Removes the source to destination datum transform pair for the specified `sourceCrs` and `destinationCrs`.
`sourceDestinationDatumTransforms`	Returns the stored mapping for source to destination CRS pairs to associated datum transforms to use.
`writeSettings`	Write the context’s state to application settings.
`writeXml`	Writes the context’s state to a DOM `element`.

Attributes

addCoordinateOperation(self, sourceCrs: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, destinationCrs: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, coordinateOperationProjString: str) → bool¶

Adds a new coordinateOperationProjString to use when projecting coordinates from the specified sourceCrs to the specified destinationCrs.

coordinateOperationProjString should be set to a valid Proj coordinate operation string. If coordinateOperationProjString is empty, then the default Proj operation will be used when transforming between the coordinate reference systems.

Returns True if the new coordinate operation was added successfully.

removeCoordinateOperation()

Note

Requires Proj 6.0 or later. Builds based on earlier Proj versions will ignore this setting, and the deprecated addSourceDestinationDatumTransform() method must be used instead.

New in version 3.8.

addSourceDestinationDatumTransform(self, sourceCrs: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, destinationCrs: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, sourceTransformId: int, destinationTransformId: int) → bool¶

Adds a new sourceTransform and destinationTransform to use when projecting coordinates from the specified sourceCrs to the specified destinationCrs.

If either sourceTransformId or destinationTransformId is -1, then no datum transform is required for transformations for that source or destination.

Returns True if the new transform pair was added successfully.

sourceDestinationDatumTransforms()

Deprecated since version Has: no effect on builds based on Proj 6.0 or later, use addCoordinateOperation() instead.

calculateCoordinateOperation(self, source: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, destination: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem) → str¶

Returns the Proj coordinate operation string to use when transforming from the specified source CRS to destination CRS.

Returns an empty string if no specific coordinate operation is set for the source to destination pair, in which case the default Proj coordinate operation should be used.

Note

source and destination are reversible.

Note

Requires Proj 6.0 or later. Builds based on earlier Proj versions will always return an empty string, and the deprecated calculateDatumTransforms() method should be used instead.

New in version 3.8.

calculateDatumTransforms(self, source: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, destination: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem) → QgsDatumTransform.TransformPair¶

Returns the pair of source and destination datum transforms to use for a transform from the specified source CRS to destination CRS.

Returns an ID of -1 if a datum transform should not be used for the source or destination.

Note

source and destination are reversible.

Deprecated since version Has: no effect on builds based on Proj 6.0 or later. Use calculateCoordinateOperation() instead.

clear(self)¶: Clears all stored transform information from the context.

coordinateOperations(self) → object¶: Returns the stored mapping for source to destination CRS pairs to associated coordinate operation to use (as a proj string). The map keys will be :py:func:`QgsCoordinateReferenceSystems.authid()`s.

Warning

This method should not be used to calculate the corresponding coordinate operation to use for a coordinate transform. Instead, always use calculateCoordinateOperation() to determine this.

addCoordinateOperation()

Note

Requires Proj 6.0 or later. Builds based on earlier Proj versions will always return an empty list, and the deprecated sourceDestinationDatumTransforms() method must be used instead.

New in version 3.8.

hasTransform(self, source: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, destination: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem) → bool¶: Returns True if the context has a valid coordinate operation to use when transforming from the specified source CRS to destination CRS.

Note

source and destination are reversible.

readSettings(self)¶: Reads the context’s state from application settings.

readSettings()

readXml(self, element: QDomElement, context: QgsReadWriteContext) → Tuple[bool, List[str]]¶

Reads the context’s state from a DOM element.

Returns False if transforms stored in the XML are not available. In this case missingTransforms will be filled with missing datum transform strings.

writeXml()

removeCoordinateOperation(self, sourceCrs: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, destinationCrs: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem)¶: Removes the coordinate operation for the specified sourceCrs and destinationCrs.

New in version 3.8.

removeSourceDestinationDatumTransform(self, sourceCrs: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, destinationCrs: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem)¶: Removes the source to destination datum transform pair for the specified sourceCrs and destinationCrs.

Deprecated since version Use: removeCoordinateOperation() instead

sourceDestinationDatumTransforms(self) → object¶

Returns the stored mapping for source to destination CRS pairs to associated datum transforms to use. The map keys will be :py:func:`QgsCoordinateReferenceSystems.authid()`s.

If either the source transform ID or destination transform ID is -1, then no datum transform is required for transformations for that source or destination.

Warning

This method should not be used to calculate the corresponding datum transforms to use for a coordinate transform. Instead, always use calculateDatumTransforms() to determine this.
