＋Krita 4.0.0↻Krita master

The VectorLayer class A vector layer is a special layer that stores and shows vector shapes.

Vector shapes all have their coordinates in points, which is a unit that represents 1/72th of an inch. Keep this in mind wen parsing the bounding box and position data.

Member documentation

addShapesFromSvg(svg: str) ➞ list[Shape]

＋Krita 5.0.0

add shapes to the layer from a valid svg.

Parameters

svg	valid svg string.

Return

the list of shapes added to the layer from the svg.

createGroupShape(name: str, shapes: list[Shape]) ➞ Shape

＋Krita 5.2.0

combine a list of top level shapes into a group.

Parameters

name	the name of the shape.
shapes	list of top level shapes.

Return

if successful, a GroupShape object will be returned.

isAntialiased() ➞ bool

＋Krita master

return antialiasing status for the Vector layer

Return

True if antialiasing is active for the layer

setAntialiased(antialiased: bool)

＋Krita master

set antialiasing status for the Vector layer

Parameters

antialiased

set to True to activate antialiasing

shapeAtPosition(position: QPointF) ➞ Shape

＋Krita 5.2.0

shapeAtPoint check if the position is located within any non-group shape's boundingBox() on the current layer.

Parameters

position

a QPointF of the position.

Return

the shape at the position, or None if no shape is found.

shapes() ➞ list[Shape]

＋Krita 4.0.0

Return

the list of top-level shapes in this vector layer.

shapesInRect(rect: QRectF, omitHiddenShapes: bool = True, containedMode: bool = False) ➞ list[Shape]

＋Krita 5.2.0

shapeInRect get all non-group shapes that the shape's boundingBox() intersects or is contained within a given rectangle on the current layer.

Parameters

rect	a QRectF
omitHiddenShapes	true if non-visible() shapes should be omitted, false if they should be included. \p omitHiddenShapes defaults to true.
containedMode	false if only shapes that are within or intersect with the outline should be included, true if only shapes that are fully contained within the outline should be included. \p containedMode defaults to false

Return

returns a list of shapes.

toSvg() ➞ str

＋Krita 5.0.0

convert the shapes in the layer to svg.

Return

the svg in a string.

type() ➞ str

＋Krita 4.0.0

Krita has several types of nodes, split in layers and masks. Group layers can contain other layers, any layer can contain masks.

Return

vectorlayer
