Detailed Description

A maptip is a class to display a tip on a map canvas when a mouse is hovered over a feature.

Since QGIS 2.16 a maptip can show full html. QgsMapTip is a QgsWebView, so you can load full HTML/JS/CSS in it.

The code found in the map tips tab is inserted in a inline-block div so the frame can be resized based on the content size.

If no element in the html has a width attribute, the frame will squeeze down to the widest word. To avoid this you can wrap your HTML in a div style="width:300px" or similar.

JS can be included using the script tag as usual, while CSS files must be linked using link rel="stylesheet" href="URL.css" the html specs discourages link rel="stylesheet" in the body, but all browsers allow it. see https://jakearchibald.com/2016/link-in-body/

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QgsMapTip()

QgsMapTip::QgsMapTip ( )

Default constructor.

Definition at line 78 of file qgsmaptip.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clear()

void QgsMapTip::clear	(	QgsMapCanvas *	mpMapCanvas = `nullptr`,
		int	msDelay = `0`
	)

Clear the current maptip if it exists.

Parameters

mpMapCanvas	the canvas from which the tip should be cleared.
msDelay	optional time in ms to defer clearing the maptip (since QGIS 3.26)

Definition at line 261 of file qgsmaptip.cpp.

◆ rasterMapTipPreviewText()

QString QgsMapTip::rasterMapTipPreviewText	(	QgsMapLayer *	layer,
		QgsMapCanvas *	mapCanvas,
		const QString &	mapTemplate
	)

static

Returns the html that would be displayed in a maptip for a given layer.

The center pixel of the raster is used to evaluate the expressions.

Since: QGIS 3.32

Definition at line 493 of file qgsmaptip.cpp.

◆ showMapTip()

void QgsMapTip::showMapTip	(	QgsMapLayer *	thepLayer,
		QgsPointXY &	mapPosition,
		const QPoint &	pixelPosition,
		QgsMapCanvas *	mpMapCanvas
	)

Show a maptip at a given point on the map canvas.

Parameters

thepLayer	a qgis vector map layer pointer that will be used to provide the attribute data for the map tip.
mapPosition	a reference to the position of the cursor in map coordinatess.
pixelPosition	a reference to the position of the cursor in pixel coordinates.
mpMapCanvas	a map canvas on which the tip is drawn

Definition at line 87 of file qgsmaptip.cpp.

◆ vectorMapTipPreviewText()

QString QgsMapTip::vectorMapTipPreviewText	(	QgsMapLayer *	layer,
		QgsMapCanvas *	mapCanvas,
		const QString &	mapTemplate,
		const QString &	displayExpression
	)

static

Returns the html that would be displayed in a maptip for a given layer.

If the layer has features, the first feature is used to evaluate the expressions.

Since: QGIS 3.32

Definition at line 447 of file qgsmaptip.cpp.
