Member Function Documentation

acceptedPythonTypes()

QStringList QgsProcessingParameterType::acceptedPythonTypes ( ) const

virtual

Returns a list of the Python data types accepted as values for the parameter.

E.g. "str", "QgsVectorLayer", "QgsMapLayer", etc.

These values should should match the Python types exactly (e.g. "str" not "string", "bool" not "boolean"). Extra explanatory help can be used (which must be translated), eg "str: as comma delimited list of numbers".

acceptedStringValues()

Definition at line 30 of file qgsprocessingparametertype.cpp.

acceptedStringValues()

QStringList QgsProcessingParameterType::acceptedStringValues ( ) const

virtual

Returns a descriptive list of the possible string values acceptable for the parameter.

E.g. for a QgsProcessingParameterVectorLayer this may include "Path to a vector layer", for QgsProcessingParameterBoolean "1 for true, 0 for false" etc.

Extra explanatory help can be used (which must be translated), eg "a comma delimited list of numbers".

className()

virtual QString QgsProcessingParameterType::className ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the corresponding class name for the parameter type.

create()

virtual QgsProcessingParameterDefinition * QgsProcessingParameterType::create ( const QString &  name ) const

pure virtual

Creates a new parameter of this type.

description()

virtual QString QgsProcessingParameterType::description ( ) const

pure virtual

A human readable and translatable description for this parameter type.

This can be a longer description suitable for tooltips and other elements that give the user context for a given parameter.

flags()

Qgis::ProcessingParameterTypeFlags QgsProcessingParameterType::flags ( ) const

virtual

Determines if this parameter is available in the modeler.

The default implementation returns true.

Definition at line 20 of file qgsprocessingparametertype.cpp.

id()

virtual QString QgsProcessingParameterType::id ( ) const

pure virtual

A static id for this type which will be used for storing this parameter type.

metadata()

QVariantMap QgsProcessingParameterType::metadata ( ) const

virtual

Metadata for this parameter type.

Can be used for example to define custom widgets. The default implementation returns an empty map.

Definition at line 25 of file qgsprocessingparametertype.cpp.

name()

virtual QString QgsProcessingParameterType::name ( ) const

pure virtual

A human readable and translatable short name for this parameter type.

This will be used in comboboxes and list widgets.

pythonImportString()

virtual QString QgsProcessingParameterType::pythonImportString ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns a valid Python import string for importing the corresponding parameter type, e.g.

"from qgis.core import QgsProcessingParameterBoolean".
