QGIS plugin for setting layer properties and options straight from map canvas and for activating layer by clicking features on map.

Project description

PickLayer

tests codecov.io release GPLv3 license Code style: black Imports: isort pre-commit

Set layer properties and options straight from map canvas. Activate layer by clicking features on map.

Originally created and maintained by enricofer in https://github.com/enricofer/pickLayer.

Usage from other plugins

It is possible to control SetActiveLayerTool programmatically using public methods defined in Plugin-class.

from qgis.core import QgsPointXY
from qgis.utils import plugins

some_point = QgsPointXY(123, 456)

# Activates layer if features are found near given point
plugins["pickLayer"].set_active_layer_using_closest_feature(point_xy=some_point)

# Activates layer with custom search radius (in map units)
plugins["pickLayer"].set_active_layer_using_closest_feature(point_xy=some_point, search_radius=100)

# Activates layer using subset of layers (expects layer ids)
plugins["pickLayer"].set_active_layer_using_closest_feature(point_xy=some_point, search_layers=["layer-1", "layer-2"])

# Set search layers for set active layer map tool (expects layer ids)
plugins["pickLayer"].set_search_layers_for_set_active_layer_tool_action(search_layers=["layer-1", "layer-2"])

# Reset search layers for set active layer map tool (will use all vector layers in project)
plugins["pickLayer"].set_search_layers_for_set_active_layer_tool_action(search_layers=None)

# Get action for e.g. defining shortcut key programmatically
action = plugins["pickLayer"].get_set_active_layer_tool_action()
# action.do_something()
