21. Cheat sheet for PyQGIS

Подсказка

The code snippets on this page need the following imports if you’re outside the pyqgis console:

from qgis.PyQt.QtCore import (
    QRectF,
)

from qgis.core import (
    Qgis,
    QgsProject,

    QgsLayerTreeView,
)

21.1. User Interface

Change Look & Feel

from qgis.PyQt.QtWidgets import QApplication

app = QApplication.instance()
app.setStyleSheet(".QWidget {color: blue; background-color: yellow;}")
# You can even read the stylesheet from a file
with  open("testdata/file.qss") as qss_file_content:
    app.setStyleSheet(qss_file_content.read())

Change icon and title

from qgis.PyQt.QtGui import QIcon

icon = QIcon("/path/to/logo/file.png")
iface.mainWindow().setWindowIcon(icon)
iface.mainWindow().setWindowTitle("My QGIS")

21.2. Установки

parent.removeToolBar(toolbar)

# and add again
parent.addToolBar(toolbar)

Remove actions toolbar

actions = iface.attributesToolBar().actions()

iface.attributesToolBar().addAction(actions[4])
iface.attributesToolBar().addAction(actions[3])

21.4. Menus

Remove menu

# for example Help Menu

QgsProject.instance().mapLayers().values()

Obtain layers name

from qgis.core import QgsVectorLayer
layer = QgsVectorLayer("Point?crs=EPSG:4326", "layer name you like", "memory")
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(layer)

layers_names = []
for layer in QgsProject.instance().mapLayers().values():

print("layers TOC = {}".format(layers_names))

layers TOC = ['layer name you like']

Otherwise

layers_names = [layer.name() for layer in QgsProject.instance().mapLayers().values()]
print("layers TOC = {}".format(layers_names))

layers TOC = ['layer name you like']

Find layer by name

from qgis.core import QgsProject

<class 'qgis._core.QgsLayerTreeGroup'>
False
True

from qgis.core import QgsLayerTreeGroup, QgsLayerTreeLayer

def get_group_layers(group):
   print('- group: ' + group.name())
   for child in group.children():
      if isinstance(child, QgsLayerTreeGroup):
         # Recursive call to get nested groups
         get_group_layers(child)
      else:
         print('  - layer: ' + child.name())


root = QgsProject.instance().layerTreeRoot()
for child in root.children():
   if isinstance(child, QgsLayerTreeGroup):
      get_group_layers(child)
   elif isinstance(child, QgsLayerTreeLayer):
      print ('- layer: ' + child.name())

- group: My Group
  - layer: layer name you like

from qgis.core import QgsVectorLayer, QgsProject

layer1 = QgsVectorLayer("Point?crs=EPSG:4326", "layer name you like 2", "memory")
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(layer1, False)
node_layer1 = root.addLayer(layer1)
# Remove it
QgsProject.instance().removeMapLayer(layer1)

layer = QgsProject.instance().mapLayersByName("layer name you like")[0]
root = QgsProject.instance().layerTreeRoot()

myLayer = root.findLayer(layer.id())
myClone = myLayer.clone()
parent = myLayer.parent()

myGroup = root.findGroup("My Group")
# Insert in first position
myGroup.insertChildNode(0, myClone)

parent.removeChildNode(myLayer)

Move loaded layer to a specific group

QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(layer, False)

root = QgsProject.instance().layerTreeRoot()
myGroup = root.findGroup("My Group")
myOriginalLayer = root.findLayer(layer.id())
myLayer = myOriginalLayer.clone()
myGroup.insertChildNode(0, myLayer)
parent.removeChildNode(myOriginalLayer)

Toggling active layer visibility

root = QgsProject.instance().layerTreeRoot()
node = root.findLayer(layer.id())
new_state = Qt.Checked if node.isVisible() == Qt.Unchecked else Qt.Unchecked
node.setItemVisibilityChecked(new_state)

Is group selected

def isMyGroupSelected( groupName ):
    myGroup = QgsProject.instance().layerTreeRoot().findGroup( groupName )
    return myGroup in iface.layerTreeView().selectedNodes()

print(isMyGroupSelected( 'my group name' ))

False

Hidden node trick

from qgis.core import QgsProject

model = iface.layerTreeView().layerTreeModel()
ltv = iface.layerTreeView()
root = QgsProject.instance().layerTreeRoot()

layer = QgsProject.instance().mapLayersByName('layer name you like')[0]
node = root.findLayer(layer.id())

index = model.node2index( node )
ltv.setRowHidden( index.row(), index.parent(), True )
node.setCustomProperty( 'nodeHidden', 'true')
ltv.setCurrentIndex(model.node2index(root))

def onWillAddChildren(node, indexFrom, indexTo):
    print ("WILL ADD", node, indexFrom, indexTo)

def onAddedChildren(node, indexFrom, indexTo):
    print ("ADDED", node, indexFrom, indexTo)

root.willAddChildren.connect(onWillAddChildren)
root.addedChildren.connect(onAddedChildren)

Remove layer

root.removeLayer(layer)

Remove group

root.removeChildNode(node_group2)

Create new table of contents (TOC)

root = QgsProject.instance().layerTreeRoot()
model = QgsLayerTreeModel(root)
view = QgsLayerTreeView()
view.setModel(model)
view.show()

Move node

cloned_group1 = node_group.clone()
root.insertChildNode(0, cloned_group1)
root.removeChildNode(node_group)

Rename node
