Hi Frank,

It really depends on:
- what is the crs of your project
- what is the crs of your layer
- if they match, it should work
- if they do not match you have to reproject the layer extent to the crs of the 
mapcanvas

I think the python console will be helpfull here.

While loaded, does the plugin have a handle to the actual QGIS layer?
If so, say it is called 'self.georecord_layer.layer' in the plugin.

Then you can do (in the console):

# first find out the name of your plugin
qgis.utils.plugins
# will show you all loaded layers AND there key/name
# say your plugins name is 'franks_plugin'
# then
plugin = qgis.utils.plugins['franks_plugin']
# will give you a handle (in the console) to your plugin
# then
plugin.georecord_layer.layer.extent should give you an extent... eg:
<QgsRectangle: 103890.796875 492342.34375, 104287.453125 492643.46875>
# NOTE that this is in the layers crs !
# you can also use (making the right layer active in legend):
iface.activeLayer().extent()
# you can also look at the extent of the mapcanvas from the console:
iface.mapCanvas().extent()

(you can off course also use logging see the extent somewhere)

Can you show us both the canvas and the layer extent?

Hi,

I am writing a plugin, in which I am loading a bunch of layers, and I want to 
zoom on one of them. Layers are loaded through an action (click).

def load_layer(self):

         self.project.addMapLayers(

             [

                 self.addresses_layer.layer,

                 self.adminunits_layer.layer,

                 self.georecord_layer,

             ],

             addToLegend=False,

         )

         self.project.addMapLayers(

             [

                 self.geolocation_point_layer.layer,

                 self.geolocation_line_layer.layer,

                 self.geolocation_poly_layer.layer,

                 self.ortho_layer

             ]

         )

         self.iface.mapCanvas().setExtent(self.georecord_layer.layer.extent())

         self.iface.mapCanvas().refresh()

but unfortunately, that does not work as expected. QGIS zooms just on the 
ortho_layer in the end. I have the suspicion, that the extent I set, gets 
overwritten by another layer that loads in in a later stage. Layers are from a 
PostGIS, and the ortho_layer is a WMS layer.

I tried googleing, mapCanvas().waitWhileRendering() and whatnot, it just will 
not zoom. I am completely clueless now, so any hints are greatly appreciated.

This is on OSGeo4W, QGIS 3.28 and Python , for explanation, the .layer 
attribute is the actual QGIS layer …

Many thanks,

Frank
