Class: QgsSvgMarkerSymbolLayer¶

A marker symbol layer which renders an SVG graphic.

Class Hierarchy¶

Base classes¶

`QgsMarkerSymbolLayer`	Abstract base class for marker symbol layers.
`QgsSymbolLayer`	Abstract base class for symbol layers.

class qgis.core.QgsSvgMarkerSymbolLayer[source]¶

Bases: QgsMarkerSymbolLayer

__init__(path: str | None, size: float = DEFAULT_SVGMARKER_SIZE, angle: float = DEFAULT_SVGMARKER_ANGLE, scaleMethod: Qgis.ScaleMethod = DEFAULT_SCALE_METHOD)

Constructs SVG marker symbol layer with picture from given absolute path to a SVG file

Parameters:

path (Optional[str])
size (float = DEFAULT_SVGMARKER_SIZE)
angle (float = DEFAULT_SVGMARKER_ANGLE)
scaleMethod (Qgis.ScaleMethod = DEFAULT_SCALE_METHOD)

calculateAspectRatio(self, context: QgsSymbolRenderContext, scaledSize: float)[source]¶

Calculates the marker aspect ratio between width and height.

Parameters:

context (QgsSymbolRenderContext) – symbol render context
scaledSize (float) -> (float) – size of symbol to render
hasDataDefinedAspectRatio – will be set to True if marker has data defined aspectRatio

static create(properties: Dict[str, Any] = {}) → QgsSymbolLayer | None[source]¶

Creates the symbol

Parameters:: properties (Dict[str, Any] = {})
Return type:: Optional[QgsSymbolLayer]

static createFromSld(element: QDomElement) → QgsSymbolLayer | None[source]¶

Parameters:: element (QDomElement)
Return type:: Optional[QgsSymbolLayer]

defaultAspectRatio(self) → float[source]¶

Returns the default marker aspect ratio between width and height, 0 if not yet calculated.

updateDefaultAspectRatio()

Return type:: float

fixedAspectRatio(self) → float[source]¶

Returns the marker aspect ratio between width and height to be used in rendering, if the value set is lower or equal to 0 the aspect ratio will be preserved in rendering

setFixedAspectRatio()

QgsSvgCache

Return type:: float

parameters(self) → Dict[str, QgsProperty]¶

Returns the dynamic SVG parameters

Added in version 3.18.

Return type:: Dict[str, QgsProperty]

path(self) → str[source]¶

Returns the marker SVG path.

setPath()

Return type:: str

preservedAspectRatio(self) → bool[source]¶

Returns the preserved aspect ratio value, True if fixed aspect ratio has been lower or equal to 0.

setPreservedAspectRatio()

Return type:: bool

static resolvePaths(properties: Dict[str, Any], pathResolver: QgsPathResolver, saving: bool)[source]¶

Turns relative paths in properties map to absolute when reading and vice versa when writing. Used internally when reading/writing symbols.

Parameters:

properties (Dict[str, Any])
pathResolver (QgsPathResolver)
saving (bool)

setFixedAspectRatio(self, ratio: float)[source]¶

Set the marker aspect ratio between width and height to be used in rendering, if the value set is lower or equal to 0 the aspect ratio will be preserved in rendering

Parameters:: ratio (float) – Fixed Aspect Ratio

setParameters(self, parameters: Dict[str | None, QgsProperty])[source]¶

Sets the dynamic SVG parameters

Added in version 3.18.

Parameters:: parameters (Dict[Optional[str], QgsProperty])

setPath(self, path: str | None)[source]¶

Set the marker SVG path.

Parameters:: path (Optional[str]) – SVG path

setPreservedAspectRatio(self, par: bool) → bool[source]¶

Set preserved the marker aspect ratio between width and height.

Parameters:: par (bool) – Preserved Aspect Ratio
Return type:: bool
Returns:: the preserved aspect ratio value, True if fixed aspect ratio has been lower or equal to 0
