Hi Devs, a plugin dev was discussing with me the fact he could not find the names of the different Enumeration values in QGIS to use for python plugins.
As an example: if you want to test if your layers 'type': iface.mapCanvas().currentLayer().type() 0 is a Vector layer, so you could go to: https://qgis.org/api/classQgsMapLayer.html#adf3b0b576d7812c4359ece2142170308 Then to the maplayer.h file: https://qgis.org/api/qgsmaplayer_8h_source.html#l00106 From where you can count that Vector = 1 etc... and guess to use: QgsMapLayer.VectorLayer Another example: having a 2.x plugin with a test: geom_type == QGis.WKBPolygon => 3 I found: https://qgis.org/api/classQgsWkbTypes.html#a60e72c2f73cb07fdbcdbc2d5068b5d9c and then: https://qgis.org/api/qgswkbtypes_8h_source.html BUT how can we make this easier for python devs? Searching in https://qgis.org/pyqgis for example VectorLayer the constant (as name) does not pop up. So what would work: - add comments in the header files? Would these show up in the python docs then? - create (automated?) lists of these constants in the pycookbook? - do a lot of blogging about it :-) Or: who has an idea (so somebody can maybe pick this up in A Coruna.... :-) ) Regards, Richard Duivenvoorde _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
