Hello,
My code is using the following snippet to plot a vector layer:
vl = QgsVectorLayer("Point", "RadiusField", "memory")
pr = vl.dataProvider()
pr.addAttributes([QgsField("name", QVariant.String),
QgsField("radius", QVariant.Double)])
vl.updateFields()
for idx in range(self.nx):
for idy in range(self.ny):
f = QgsFeature()
f.setGeometry(QgsGeometry.fromPointXY(QgsPointXY(self.phalanx[idx,idy,0],self.phalanx[idx,idy,1])))
punctum = "point_" + str(idx) + "_" + str(idy)
f.setAttributes([punctum, 1.0])
pr.addFeature(f)
vl.updateExtents()
symbol = QgsMarkerSymbol.createSimple({'name': 'circle',
'color': 'yellow'})
vl.renderer().setSymbol(symbol)
vl.triggerRepaint()
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(vl)
This plots yellow circles of the same radius at all points as expected.
What I'd like the code to do next is to plot each individual circle with
specific properties. For example, the following modified snippet tries
rendering inside the loop:
vl = QgsVectorLayer("Point", "RadiusField", "memory")
pr = vl.dataProvider()
pr.addAttributes([QgsField("name", QVariant.String),
QgsField("radius", QVariant.Double)])
vl.updateFields()
for idx in range(self.nx):
for idy in range(self.ny):
f = QgsFeature()
f.setGeometry(QgsGeometry.fromPointXY(QgsPointXY(self.phalanx[idx,idy,0],self.phalanx[idx,idy,1])))
punctum = "point_" + str(idx) + "_" + str(idy)
f.setAttributes([punctum, 1.0])
pr.addFeature(f)
if (idx % 2 == 0) and (idy % 2 == 0):
symbol = QgsMarkerSymbol.createSimple({'name':
'circle', 'color': 'yellow'})
elif (idx % 2 == 0):
symbol = QgsMarkerSymbol.createSimple({'name':
'circle', 'color': 'red'})
elif (idy % 2 == 0):
symbol = QgsMarkerSymbol.createSimple({'name':
'circle', 'color': 'green'})
else:
symbol = QgsMarkerSymbol.createSimple({'name':
'circle', 'color': 'pink'})
vl.renderer().setSymbol(symbol)
vl.triggerRepaint()
vl.updateExtents()
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(vl)
However, this results in the same output as it repaints everything with
the latter symbol (not to mention that replotting the whole vector layer
over & over becomes expensive).
My main question is whether this is a workable approach (and I need to
figure out how to render marker by marker) or if I should consider using
other classes. I was thinking that maybe QgsMarkerSymbolLayer could be
of use for this problem, but the example from the PyQGIS
DeveloperCookbook seems to use it for constructing new symbols, not to
have variations of the same symbol while drawing many of them. Thanks.
