Detailed Description

The polygon is defined by an ordered list of QGeoCoordinate objects representing its perimeter.

Each two adjacent elements in this list are intended to be connected together by the shortest line segment of constant bearing passing through both elements. This type of connection can cross the date line in the longitudinal direction, but never crosses the poles.

This is relevant for the calculation of the bounding box returned by QGeoShape::boundingGeoRectangle() for this shape, which will have the latitude of the top left corner set to the maximum latitude in the path point set. Similarly, the latitude of the bottom right corner will be the minimum latitude in the path point set.

This class is a Q_GADGET. It can be directly used from C++ and QML.

Member Function Documentation

QGeoPolygon::QGeoPolygon(const QGeoShape &other)

Constructs a new geo polygon from the contents of other.

QGeoPolygon::QGeoPolygon(const QGeoPolygon &other)

Constructs a new geo polygon from the contents of other.

QGeoPolygon::QGeoPolygon(const QList<QGeoCoordinate> &path)

Constructs a new geo polygon from the coordinates specified in path.

QGeoPolygon::QGeoPolygon()

Constructs a new, empty geo polygon.

QGeoPolygon &QGeoPolygon::operator=(const QGeoPolygon &other)

Assigns other to this geo polygon and returns a reference to this geo polygon.

QGeoPolygon::~QGeoPolygon()

Destroys this polygon.

[invokable] void QGeoPolygon::addCoordinate(const QGeoCoordinate &coordinate)

Appends coordinate to the polygon.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

[invokable, since 5.12] void QGeoPolygon::addHole(const QVariant &holePath)

Sets the holePath for a hole inside the polygon. The hole is a QVariant containing a QList<QGeoCoordinate>.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.12.

[since 5.12] void QGeoPolygon::addHole(const QList<QGeoCoordinate> &holePath)

Overloaded method. Sets the holePath for a hole inside the polygon. The hole is a QList<QGeoCoordinate>.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.12.

[invokable] bool QGeoPolygon::containsCoordinate(const QGeoCoordinate &coordinate) const

Returns true if the polygon's perimeter contains coordinate as one of the elements.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

[invokable] QGeoCoordinate QGeoPolygon::coordinateAt(qsizetype index) const

Returns the coordinate at index .

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

[invokable, since 5.12] const QVariantList QGeoPolygon::hole(qsizetype index) const

Returns a QVariant containing a QList<QGeoCoordinate> which represents the hole at index.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.12.

[since 5.12] const QList<QGeoCoordinate> QGeoPolygon::holePath(qsizetype index) const

Returns a QList<QGeoCoordinate> which represents the hole at index.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.12.

[invokable, since 5.12] qsizetype QGeoPolygon::holesCount() const
