Class: QgsAbstract3DRenderer

Base class for all renderers that participate in 3D views.

3D renderers implement the method createEntity() that returns a new 3D entity - that entity will be added to the 3D scene to represent data in renderer’s display style.

Renderers may store some custom properties (e.g. materials, sizes) that are written to and read from XML. It is therefore not recommended to store large amount of data within a renderer (e.g. arrays of vertices).

Note

This is an abstract class, with methods which must be implemented by a subclass.

The following methods must be implemented: clone(), readXml(), type(), writeXml()

Bases: object

abstract clone(self) → QgsAbstract3DRenderer | None[source]

Returns a cloned instance

Return type:

Optional[QgsAbstract3DRenderer]

abstract readXml(self, elem: QDomElement, context: QgsReadWriteContext)[source]

Reads renderer’s properties from given XML element

Parameters:

Parameters:

project (QgsProject)

abstract type(self) → str[source]

Returns unique identifier of the renderer class (used to identify subclass)

Return type:
