Sets whether the item bounding boxes should be visible.

setCurrentExportLayer

Sets the current item layer to draw while exporting.

setDpi

Sets the dpi for outputting the layout.

setFlag

Enables or disables a particular rendering flag for the layout.

setFlags

Sets the combination of flags that will be used for rendering the layout.

setGridVisible

Sets whether the page grid should be visible.

setPagesVisible

Sets whether the page items should be visible in the layout.

QgsLayoutRenderContext.Flags(Union[QgsLayoutRenderContext.Flags, QgsLayoutRenderContext.Flag]) QgsLayoutRenderContext.Flags(QgsLayoutRenderContext.Flags)

boundingBoxesVisible(self) → bool

Returns True if the item bounding boxes should be drawn.

childEvent()
connectNotify()
currentExportLayer(self) → int

Returns the current item layer to draw while exporting. QgsLayoutItem subclasses which support multi-layer SVG exports must check this and customize their rendering based on the layer.

If layer is -1, all item layers should be rendered.

customEvent()
disconnectNotify()
dpi(self) → float

Returns the dpi for outputting the layout.

setDpi()

dpiChanged

Emitted when the context’s DPI is changed. [signal]

flags(self) → QgsLayoutRenderContext.Flags

Returns the current combination of flags used for rendering the layout.

flagsChanged

Emitted whenever the context’s flags change.

setFlags() [signal]

gridVisible(self) → bool

Returns True if the page grid should be drawn.

See also

setGridVisible()

isPreviewRender(self) → bool

Returns True if the render current being conducted is a preview render, i.e. it is being rendered inside a QGraphicsView widget as opposed to a destination device (such as an image).

isSignalConnected()
measurementConverter(self) → QgsLayoutMeasurementConverter

Returns the layout measurement converter to be used in the layout. This converter is used for translating between other measurement units and the layout’s native unit.

pagesVisible(self) → bool

Returns whether the page items are be visible in the layout. This setting effects both display of the page boundaries in layout views and whether they will be rendered in layout exports.

receivers()
renderContextFlags(self) → QgsRenderContext.Flags

Returns the combination of render context flags matched to the layout context’s settings.

selectionColor(self) → QColor

Gets color that is used for drawing of selected vector features

New in version 3.4.

sender()
senderSignalIndex()
setBoundingBoxesVisible(self, visible: bool)

Sets whether the item bounding boxes should be visible.

setCurrentExportLayer(self, layer: int = -1)

Sets the current item layer to draw while exporting. QgsLayoutItem subclasses which support multi-layer SVG exports must check the currentExportLayer() and customize their rendering based on the layer.

If layer is -1, all item layers will be rendered.

setDpi(self, dpi: float)

Sets the dpi for outputting the layout. This also sets the corresponding DPI for the context’s measurementConverter().

dpi()

setFlag(self, flag: QgsLayoutRenderContext.Flag, on: bool = True)

Enables or disables a particular rendering flag for the layout. Other existing flags are not affected.

setFlags(self, flags: Union[QgsLayoutRenderContext.Flags, QgsLayoutRenderContext.Flag])

Sets the combination of flags that will be used for rendering the layout.

testFlag()

setGridVisible(self, visible: bool)

Sets whether the page grid should be visible.

See also

gridVisible()

setPagesVisible(self, visible: bool)

Sets whether the page items should be visible in the layout. Removing them will prevent both display of the page boundaries in layout views and will also prevent them from being rendered in layout exports.

pagesVisible()

setSelectionColor(self, color: Union[QColor, Qt.GlobalColor])

Sets color that is used for drawing of selected vector features

setTextRenderFormat(self, format: QgsRenderContext.TextRenderFormat)

Sets the text render format, which dictates how text is rendered (e.g. as paths or real text objects).

New in version 3.4.3.

testFlag(self, flag: QgsLayoutRenderContext.Flag) → bool

Check whether a particular rendering flag is enabled for the layout.
