New in version 2.3.

color(self, row: int, column: int) → int

Read a single color

Parameters

  • row – row index

  • column – column index

Returns

color

color(self, index: int) -> int Read a single value

Parameters

index – data matrix index (long type in Python)

Returns

color

convert(self, destDataType: Qgis.DataType) → bool

Convert data to different type.

Parameters

destDataType – dest data type

Returns

True on success

data(self) → QByteArray

Gets access to raw data. The returned QByteArray instance is not a copy of the data: it only refers to the array owned by the QgsRasterBlock, therefore it is only valid while the QgsRasterBlock object still exists. Writing to the returned QByteArray will not affect the original data: a deep copy of the data will be made and only the local copy will be modified.

Note

in Python the method returns ordinary bytes object as the

New in version 3.0.

dataType(self) → Qgis.DataType

Returns data type

dataTypeSize(self) → int
error(self) → QgsError

Returns the last error

hasNoData(self) → bool

Returns True if the block may contain no data. It does not guarantee that it really contains any no data. It can be used to speed up processing. Not the difference between this method and hasNoDataValue().

Returns

True if the block may contain no data

hasNoDataValue(self) → bool

True if the block has no data value.

Returns

True if the block has no data value

noDataValue()

height(self) → int

Returns the height (number of rows) of the raster block.

width()

New in version 2.10.

image(self) → QImage

Returns an image containing the block data, if the block’s data type is color.

isEmpty(self) → bool

Returns True if block is empty, i.e. its size is 0 (zero rows or cols). This method does not return True if size is not zero and all values are ‘no data’ (null).

isNoData(self, row: int, column: int) → bool

Checks if value at position is no data

Parameters

  • row – row index

  • column – column index

Returns

True if value is no data

See also

valueAndNoData()

isNoData(self, row: int, column: int) -> bool Check if value at position is no data

Parameters

  • row – row index

  • column – column index

Returns

True if value is no data

See also

valueAndNoData()

isNoData(self, index: int) -> bool Check if value at position is no data

Parameters

index – data matrix index (long type in Python)

Returns

True if value is no data

valueAndNoData()

isValid(self) → bool

Returns True if the block is valid (correctly filled with data). An empty block may still be valid (if zero size block was requested). If the block is not valid, error may be retrieved by error() method.

noDataValue(self) → float

Returns no data value. If the block does not have a no data value the returned value is undefined.

Returns

No data value

hasNoDataValue()

printValue(value: float) → str

Print double value with all necessary significant digits. It is ensured that conversion back to double gives the same number.

Parameters

value – the value to be printed

Returns

string representing the value*

reset(self, dataType: Qgis.DataType, width: int, height: int) → bool

Reset block

Parameters

  • dataType – raster data type

  • width – width of data matrix

  • height – height of data matrix

Returns

True on success

resetNoDataValue(self)

Reset no data value: if there was a no data value previously set, it will be discarded.

noDataValue()

New in version 3.0.

setColor(self, row: int, column: int, color: int) → bool

Set color on position

Parameters

  • row – row index

  • column – column index

  • color – the color to be set, QRgb value

Returns

True on success

setColor(self, index: int, color: int) -> bool Set color on index (indexed line by line)

Parameters

  • index – data matrix index (long type in Python)

  • color – the color to be set, QRgb value

Returns

True on success

setData(self, data: Union[QByteArray, bytes, bytearray], offset: int = 0)

Rewrite raw pixel data. If the data array is shorter than the internal array within the raster block object, pixels at the end will stay untouched. If the data array is longer than the internal array, only the initial data from the input array will be used. Optionally it is possible to set non-zero offset (in bytes) if the input data should overwrite data somewhere in the middle of the internal buffer.

New in version 3.0.

setError(self, error: QgsError)

Sets the last error

setImage(self, image: QImage) → bool

Sets the block data via an image.

Returns

True on success

setIsData(self, row: int, column: int)

Remove no data flag on pixel. If the raster block does not have an explicit no data value set then an internal map of no data pixels is maintained for the block. In this case it is possible to reset a pixel to flag it as having valid data using this method. This method has no effect for raster blocks with an explicit no data value set.

Parameters

  • row – row index

  • column – column index

New in version 2.10.
