mapscript.classObj

class mapscript.classObj(layer: layerObj | None = None)

The CLASS object. Used for symbolization and classification information.

Overview

The classObj has the following relationships:

Examples

Class creation:

lyr = mapscript.layerObj()
lyr.name = "foo"
c = mapscript.classObj(lyr)
assert c.thisown == 1
assert c.layer.name == lyr.name
assert c.numstyles == 0

Methods

__init__(layer: layerObj | None = None)

Create a new child classObj instance at the tail (highest index) of the class array of the parent_layer. A class can be created outside the context of a parent layer by omitting the layerObj constructor argument

addLabel(label: labelObj) → int

Add a labelObj to the classObj and return its index in the labels array

clone() → classObj

Return an independent copy of the class without a parent layer

Σημείωση

In the Java & PHP modules this method is named cloneClass.

convertToString() → char

Output the CLASS as a Mapfile string

createLegendIcon(map: mapObj, layer: layerObj, width: int, height: int) → imageObj

Draw and return a new legend icon

drawLegendIcon(map: mapObj, layer: layerObj, width: int, height: int, dstImage: imageObj, dstX: int, dstY: int) → int

Draw the legend icon onto image at dstx, dsty. Returns MS_SUCCESS or MS_FAILURE

getExpressionString() → char

Return a string representation of the EXPRESSION enclosed in the quote characters appropriate to the expression type

getLabel(i: int) → labelObj

Return a reference to the labelObj at index in the labels array

getStyle(i: int) → styleObj

Return a reference to the styleObj at index in the styles array

getTextString() → char

Return a string representation of TEXT

insertStyle(style: styleObj, index: int = -1) → int

Insert a copy of style into the styles array at index index Default is -1, or the end of the array. Returns the index at which the style was inserted.

moveStyleDown(index: int) → int

Swap the styleObj at index with the styleObj at index + 1

moveStyleUp(index: int) → int

Swap the styleObj at index with the styleObj at index - 1

removeLabel(index: int) → labelObj

Remove the labelObj at index from the labels array and return a reference to the labelObj. numlabels is decremented, and the array is updated

removeStyle(index: int) → styleObj

Remove the styleObj at index from the styles array and return a copy.

setExpression(expression: char) → int

Set EXPRESSION string where expression is a MapServer regular, logical or string expression. Returns MS_SUCCESS or MS_FAILURE

setText(text: char) → int

Set TEXT string where text is a MapServer text expression. Returns MS_SUCCESS or MS_FAILURE

updateFromString(snippet: char) → int

Update a class from a string snippet. Returns MS_SUCCESS or MS_FAILURE
