23.1.7. Modeler tools

These tools are only available in the Graphical Modeler. They are not available in the Processing Toolbox.

23.1.7.1. Load layer into project

Loads a layer to the current project.

23.1.7.1.1. Parameters

Label	Name	Type	Description
Layer	INPUT	[layer]	Layer to load in the legend
Loaded layer name	NAME	[string]	Name of the loaded layer

23.1.7.1.2. Outputs

Label	Name	Type	Description
Layer	OUTPUT	[same as input]	The (renamed) loaded layer

23.1.7.1.3. Python code

Algorithm ID: qgis:loadlayer

import processing
processing.run("algorithm_id", {parameter_dictionary})

The algorithm id is displayed when you hover over the algorithm in the Processing Toolbox. The parameter dictionary provides the parameter NAMEs and values. See Using processing algorithms from the console for details on how to run processing algorithms from the Python console.

23.1.7.2. Rename layer

Renames a layer.

23.1.7.2.1. Parameters

Label	Name	Type	Description
Layer	INPUT	[layer]	Layer to rename
New name	NAME	[string]	The new name of the layer

23.1.7.2.2. Outputs

Label	Name	Type	Description
Layer	OUTPUT	[same as input]	The (renamed) output layer

23.1.7.2.3. Python code

Algorithm ID: qgis:renamelayer

import processing
processing.run("algorithm_id", {parameter_dictionary})

The algorithm id is displayed when you hover over the algorithm in the Processing Toolbox. The parameter dictionary provides the parameter NAMEs and values. See Using processing algorithms from the console for details on how to run processing algorithms from the Python console.

23.1.7.3. String concatenation

Concatenates two strings into a single one in the Processing Modeler.

23.1.7.3.1. Parameters

Label	Name	Type	Description
Input 1	INPUT_1	[string]	First string
Input 2	INPUT_2	[string]	Second string

23.1.7.3.2. Outputs

Label	Name	Type	Description
Concatenation	CONCATENATION	[string]	The concatenated string

23.1.7.3.3. Python code

Algorithm ID: qgis:stringconcatenation

import processing
processing.run("algorithm_id", {parameter_dictionary})

The algorithm id is displayed when you hover over the algorithm in the Processing Toolbox. The parameter dictionary provides the parameter NAMEs and values. See Using processing algorithms from the console for details on how to run processing algorithms from the Python console.
