Class: QgsMergedFeatureRenderer

A polygon or line-only feature renderer used to render a set of features merged (or dissolved) into a single geometry.

It is designed on top of another feature renderer, which is called “embedded” Most of the methods are then only proxies to the embedded renderer. E.g. if the embedded renderer is a categorized renderer, then all the matching features for each categorized class will be dissolved together. Features from different classes will NOT be dissolved together.

Added in version 3.18.

Parameters:

embeddedRenderer (Optional[QgsFeatureRenderer]) – optional embeddedRenderer. Ownership will be transferred.

__init__(type: str | None, embeddedRenderer: QgsFeatureRenderer | None)

static convertFromRenderer(renderer: QgsFeatureRenderer | None) → QgsMergedFeatureRenderer | None[source]

Creates a QgsMergedFeatureRenderer by a conversion from an existing renderer.

Return type:

Optional[QgsMergedFeatureRenderer]

Returns:

a new renderer if the conversion was possible, otherwise None.

Parameters:

renderer (Optional[QgsFeatureRenderer])

static create(element: QDomElement, context: QgsReadWriteContext) → QgsFeatureRenderer | None[source]

Creates a renderer out of an XML, for loading

Parameters:
Return type:

Optional[QgsFeatureRenderer]

virtual renderFeature(self, feature: QgsFeature, context: QgsRenderContext, layer: int = -1, selected: bool = False, drawVertexMarker: bool = False) → bool[source]

Renders a given feature. This will here collect features. The actual rendering will be postponed to stopRender()

Parameters:

  • feature (QgsFeature) – the feature to render

  • context (QgsRenderContext) – the rendering context

  • layer (int = -1) – the symbol layer to render, if that makes sense

  • selected (bool = False) – whether this feature has been selected (this will add decorations)

  • drawVertexMarker (bool = False) – whether this feature has vertex markers (in edit mode usually)

Return type:

bool

Returns:

True if the rendering was OK

virtual stopRender(self, context: QgsRenderContext)[source]

The actual rendering will take place here. Features collected during renderFeature() are rendered using the embedded feature renderer

Parameters:

context (QgsRenderContext)
