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

 1from qgis.core import (
 2  QgsProcessingContext,
 3  QgsTaskManager,

15. タスク - バックグラウンドで重い仕事をする

15.1. はじめに

スレッドを使用したバックグラウンド処理は、重い処理が行われているときに応答性の高いユーザーインターフェイスを維持するための方法です。タスクはQGISでスレッドを実行するために使用できます。

タスク（ QgsTask ）はバックグラウンドで実行されるコードのコンテナです。そしてタスクマネージャ（ QgsTaskManager ）は タスクの実行を制御するために使用されます。 これらのクラスは、シグナリング、進捗報告、およびバックグラウンドプロセスのステータスへアクセスするためのメカニズムを提供することによって、QGISのバックグラウンド処理を単純化します。 タスクはサブタスクを使用してグループ化できます。

The global task manager (found with QgsApplication.taskManager()) is normally used. This means that your tasks may not be the only tasks that are controlled by the task manager.

QGISタスクを作成する方法はいくつかあります：

  • QgsTask を拡張することで自分のタスクを作成する

    class SpecialisedTask(QgsTask):
    pass

  • 関数からタスクを作成

     1def heavyFunction():
 2    # Some CPU intensive processing ...
 3    pass
 4
 5def workdone():
 6    # ... do something useful with the results
 7    pass
 8
 9task = QgsTask.fromFunction('heavy function', heavyFunction,
10                     onfinished=workdone)

  • プロセッシングアルゴリズムからタスクを作成

    1params = dict()
2context = QgsProcessingContext()
3feedback = QgsProcessingFeedback()
4
5buffer_alg = QgsApplication.instance().processingRegistry().algorithmById('native:buffer')
6task = QgsProcessingAlgRunnerTask(buffer_alg, params, context,
7                           feedback)

警告

Any background task (regardless of how it is created) must NEVER use any QObject that lives on the main thread, such as accessing QgsVectorLayer, QgsProject or perform any GUI based operations like creating new widgets or interacting with existing widgets. Qt widgets must only be accessed or modified from the main thread. Data that is used in a task must be copied before the task is started. Attempting to use them from background threads will result in crashes.

Dependencies between tasks can be described using the addSubTask() function of QgsTask. When a dependency is stated, the task manager will automatically determine how these dependencies will be executed. Wherever possible dependencies will be executed in parallel in order to satisfy them as quickly as possible. If a task on which another task depends is canceled, the dependent task will also be canceled. Circular dependencies can make deadlocks possible, so be careful.

If a task depends on a layer being available, this can be stated using the setDependentLayers() function of QgsTask. If a layer on which a task depends is not available, the task will be canceled.

Once the task has been created it can be scheduled for running using the addTask() function of the task manager. Adding a task to the manager automatically transfers ownership of that task to the manager, and the manager will cleanup and delete tasks after they have executed. The scheduling of the tasks is influenced by the task priority, which is set in addTask().

タスクの状態は QgsTask および QgsTaskManager のシグナルと関数を使って監視できます。

15.2. 例

15.2.1. QgsTaskを拡張する

この例では RandomIntegerSumTask は QgsTask を拡張し、指定された期間中に0から500の間の100個のランダムな整数を生成します。 乱数が42の場合、タスクは中止され、例外が発生します。 （サブタスク付きの） RandomIntegerSumTask のいくつかのインスタンスが生成されてタスクマネージャに追加され、2種類の依存関係を実証します。
