Methods

__init__(parent_class: classObj | None = None)[broncode]

Returns new default styleObj instance. The parent_class is optional.

clone() styleObj[broncode]

Returns an independent copy of the style with no parent class.

convertToString() char[broncode]

Saves the object to a string. Provides the inverse option for styleObj.updateFromString()

getBinding(binding: int) char[broncode]

Get the attribute binding for a specified style property. Returns NULL if there is no binding for this property.

getGeomTransform() char[broncode]

Get the GEOMTRANSFORM for the style.

pattern_get() void[broncode]

Python Only** Get the pattern for the style.

pattern_set(nListSize: int) void[broncode]

Python Only** Set the pattern for the style.

removeBinding(binding: int) int[broncode]

Remove the attribute binding for a specified style property.

setBinding(binding: int, item: char) int[broncode]

Remove the attribute binding for a specified style property.

setGeomTransform(transform: char) void[broncode]

Set the GEOMTRANSFORM for the style.

setSymbolByName(map: mapObj, symbolname: char) int[broncode]

Setting the symbol of the styleObj given the reference of the map object and the symbol name.

updateFromString(snippet: char) int[broncode]

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