Class: QgsScaleBarRenderer¶

Abstract base class for scale bar renderers.

Scalebar renderer subclasses implement custom drawing logic, with the possibility to implement custom labeling.

Note

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

The following methods must be implemented: clone(), draw(), id(), visibleName()

Class Hierarchy¶

Subclasses¶

`QgsDoubleBoxScaleBarRenderer`	Double box with alternating colors.
`QgsHollowScaleBarRenderer`	Scalebar style that draws a single box with alternating color for the segments, with horizontal lines through alternating segments.

class ScaleBarContext¶

Bases: object

Contains parameters regarding scalebar calculations.

Note

The need to attribute the parameters vary depending on the targeted scalebar.

flags: QgsScaleBarRenderer.Flags¶

isValid(self) → bool¶

Returns True if the context has valid settings.

Added in version 3.40.

Return type:: bool

scale: float¶

segmentWidth: float¶

size: QSizeF¶

virtual applyDefaultSettings(self, settings: QgsScaleBarSettings) → bool[source]¶

Applies any default settings relating to the scalebar to the passed settings object.

Returns True if settings were applied.

Added in version 3.14.

Parameters:: settings (QgsScaleBarSettings)
Return type:: bool

virtual calculateBoxSize(self, settings: QgsScaleBarSettings, scaleContext: QgsScaleBarRenderer.ScaleBarContext) → QSizeF[source]¶

Calculates the required box size (in millimeters) for a scalebar using the specified settings and scaleContext.

Deprecated since version 3.40: Use the version with a QgsRenderContext instead.

calculateBoxSize(self, context: QgsRenderContext, settings: QgsScaleBarSettings, scaleContext: QgsScaleBarRenderer.ScaleBarContext) -> QSizeF Calculates the required box size (in millimeters) for a scalebar using the specified settings and scaleContext.

Added in version 3.14.

Parameters:

settings (QgsScaleBarSettings)
scaleContext (QgsScaleBarRenderer.ScaleBarContext)

Return type:

QSizeF

abstract clone(self) → QgsScaleBarRenderer | None[source]¶

Returns a clone of the renderer. The caller takes ownership of the returned value.

Return type:: Optional[QgsScaleBarRenderer]

abstract draw(self, context: QgsRenderContext, settings: QgsScaleBarSettings, scaleContext: QgsScaleBarRenderer.ScaleBarContext)[source]¶

Draws the scalebar using the specified settings and scaleContext to a destination render context.

Parameters:

context (QgsRenderContext)
settings (QgsScaleBarSettings)
scaleContext (QgsScaleBarRenderer.ScaleBarContext)

drawDefaultLabels(self, context: QgsRenderContext, settings: QgsScaleBarSettings, scaleContext: QgsScaleBarRenderer.ScaleBarContext)[source]¶

Draws default scalebar labels using the specified settings and scaleContext to a destination render context.

Parameters:

context (QgsRenderContext)
settings (QgsScaleBarSettings)
scaleContext (QgsScaleBarRenderer.ScaleBarContext)

firstLabelString(self, settings: QgsScaleBarSettings) → str[source]¶
