Δημιουργία κώδικα στην Python για το πλαίσιο επεξεργασίας.

Προειδοποίηση

A new version of this tutorial is available at Writing Python Scripts for Processing Framework (QGIS3)

Μπορεί κανείς να γράψει αυτόνομο pygis κώδικα που να μπορεί να εκτελεστεί μέσω της κονσόλας Python στο QGIS. Με μερικά κόλπακια, μπορείτε να κάνετε τα αυτόνομα κομμάτια του κώδικά σας να εκτελούνται μέσα στο Πλαίσιο Επεξεργασίας. Αυτό έχει πολλαπλά πλεονεκτήματα. Πρώτον, παίρνοντας τα στοιχεία που εισάγει ο χρήστης και με βάση αυτά δημιουργώντας νεα αρχεία είναι σαφώς πιο εύκολο γιατί το Πλαίσιο Επεξεργασίας παρέχει μια τυποποιημένη διεπαφή χρήστη για αυτές τις λειτουργίες. Δεύτερον, το να έχετε τον κώδικά σας στην Εργαλειοθήκη Επεξεργασίας, επιτρέπει στον κώδικα να είναι μέρος από το Μοντέλο Επεκεργασίας ή να εκτελείται ως μια συνολική δουλειά με πολλαπλές εισαγωγές. Αυτή η άσκηση θα σας δείξει πως να γράψετε ένα προσαρμοσμένο κομμάτι κώδικα το οποίο θα μπορεί να είναι μέρος από το Πλαίσιο Επεξεργασίας στο QGIS.

Επισκόπηση της εργασίας

Our script will perform a dissolve operation based on a field chosen by the user. It will also sum up values of another field for the dissolved features. In the example, we will dissolve a World shapefile based on a SUBREGION attribute and sum up POP_EST field to calculate total population in the dissolved region.

  1. Επεκτείνετε την ομάδα Scripts`στο :guilabel:`Processing Toolbox και επιλέξτε Create a new script.

../_images/2155.png

  1. For a python script to be recognized as a Processing script, the beginning of the script must be the specifications of the input and outputs. This will be used to construct the user interface to run the script. You can learn more about the format of these lines from QGIS Processing Documentation. Enter the following lines in the Script editor. Here we are specifying 3 user inputs: dissolve_layer, dissolve_field and sum_field. Note that we are adding dissolve_layer after both the field input definitions. This means that input will be pre-populated with choice of fields from the dissolve_layer. We also specify the output_layer as the output vector layer. Click Save button.

##dissolve_layer=vector
##dissolve_field=field dissolve_layer
##sum_field=field dissolve_layer
##output_layer=output vector
../_images/388.png

  1. Name the script dissolve_with_sum and save it at the default location under .qgis2 ‣ processing ‣ scripts folder.

../_images/462.png

  1. Back in the Script editor, click Run algorithm button to preview the user interface.

../_images/563.png

  1. You can see that just by adding a few lines, we have a nice user interface for the user to specify the inputs. It is also consistent with all other Processing algorithms, so there is no learning curve involved in using your custom algorithm.

../_images/660.png

  1. In the Script editor, enter the following code. You will notice that we are using some special methods such as processing.getObject() and processing.features(). These are convenience wrappers that make it easy to work with data. You can learn more about these from Additional functions for handling data section of QGIS Processing Documentation. Click Save to save the newly entered code and then the X button to close the editor.

This script uses python list comprehensions extensively. Take a look at this list comprehension tutorial to get familiar with the syntax.

from qgis.core import *
from PyQt4.QtCore import *

inlayer = processing.getObject(dissolve_layer)
dissolve_field_index = inlayer.fieldNameIndex(dissolve_field)
sum_field_index = inlayer.fieldNameIndex(sum_field)

# Find unique values present in the dissolve field
unique_values = set([f[dissolve_field] for f in
processing.features(inlayer)])

print unique_values
../_images/759.png

  1. While writing code, it is important to be able to see errors and debug your code. Your processing scripts can be debugged easily via the built-in Python Console. In the main QGIS window, go to Plugins ‣ Python Console. Once the console is open, find your script in the Processing Toolbox and double-click it to launch it.

../_images/857.png

  1. Select SUBREGION as the dissolve field. You may choose any field as the sum field as the script doesn’t have any code yet to deal with it. Click Run.

../_images/956.png

  1. You will see an error dialog. This is expected since the script is incomplete and doesn’t generate any output yet.

../_images/1056.png

  1. In the main QGIS windows, you will see the debug output from the script printed in the console. This is useful way to add print statements and see intermediate variable values.

../_images/1197.png

  1. Let’s go back to editing the script by right-clicking the script and select Edit script.

../_images/1257.png

  1. Enter the following code to complete the script. Note that we are using the existing dissolve algorithm in QGIS via processing using processing.runalg() method.

# Create a dictionary to hold values from the sum field
sum_unique_values = {}
attrs = [f.attributes() for f in processing.features(inlayer)]

for unique_value in unique_values:
    val_list = [ f_attr[sum_field_index] for f_attr in attrs if f_attr[dissolve_field_index] == unique_value]
    sum_unique_values[unique_value] = sum(val_list)

# Run the regular Dissolve algorithm
processing.runalg("qgis:dissolve", dissolve_layer, "false",
    dissolve_field, output_layer)

# Add a new attribute called 'SUM' in the output layer
outlayer = processing.getObject(output_layer)
provider = outlayer.dataProvider()
provider.addAttributes([QgsField('SUM', QVariant.Double)])
outlayer.updateFields()

# Set the value of the 'SUM' field for each feature
outlayer.startEditing()
new_field_index = outlayer.fieldNameIndex('SUM')
for f in processing.features(outlayer):
  outlayer.changeAttributeValue(f.id(), new_field_index, sum_unique_values[f[dissolve_field]])
outlayer.commitChanges()
../_images/1355.png

  1. Run the algorithm by selecting SUBREGION as the dissolve field and POP_EST as the sum field. Click Run.

The processing algorithm may take upto 10 minutes to finish depending on your system.

../_images/1453.png

  1. Once the processing finishes, you can use the Identify tool and click on any polygon. You will see the newly added SUM field with the POP_EST values from all original polygons added up.

../_images/1551.png

  1. You will note that all other fields in the output are still present. When you dissolve many features to create a single feature, it doesn’t make sense to keep the original fields in the output. Go back to the Script editor and add the following code to delete all fields except the SUM field and the field that was used to dissolve the original layer. Click Save button and close the window.

# Delete all fields except dissolve field and the newly created 'SUM' field.
outlayer.startEditing()

fields_to_delete = [fid for fid in range(len(provider.fields())) if fid != new_field_index and fid != dissolve_field_index]
provider.deleteAttributes(fields_to_delete)
outlayer.updateFields()

outlayer.commitChanges()
../_images/1648.png

  1. One of the hidden features of the Processing Framework is that all algorithms can work on selected features of a layer. This is very helpful when you want to run an algorithm on the subset of a layer. As our script uses processing.features() method to read features, it will respect the current selection. To demonstrate that, let’s make a selection first. Click on the Select features using an expression button.

../_images/1744.png

  1. Enter the following expression to select features from North and South America and click Select.

"CONTINENT" = 'North America' OR "CONTINENT" = 'South America'
../_images/1842.png

  1. You will see the selected features highlighted in yellow. Right-click the dissolve_with_sum script and select Execute.

../_images/1936.png

  1. Select the inputs as before and click Run.

../_images/2028.png

  1. A new output layer will be added to QGIS. This will contain dissolved geometries only from the selected features in the input layer. You will also note that the output layer will contain only 2 fields as expected.

../_images/2156.png

  1. One last but important remmaining work is to document our algorithm. The Processing Framework has nice tools to write and access help. Go to the Script editor and click the Edit script help button.

../_images/2229.png

  1. Fill in the details for different elements and click OK. Now a detailed help will be available to all users of your script in the Help tab when they launch the algorithm.

../_images/2326.png

Below is the complete script for reference. You may modify it to suit your needs.

for unique_value in unique_values:
    val_list = [ f_attr[sum_field_index] for f_attr in attrs if f_attr[dissolve_field_index] == unique_value]
    sum_unique_values[unique_value] = sum(val_list)

provider.deleteAttributes(fields_to_delete)
outlayer.updateFields()
