[Qgis-user] zoomToLayers pyqgis

[Patrick Dunford]

Good day to all

I want to call zoomToLayers in a pyqgis script to zoom the map canvas to 
a layer which I have just applied a filter to. I am not sure how to do 
it as all the documented uses of this method seem to apply to different 
things than to a layer.

If the layer is not the currently active layer is there a method of this 
that can be called on a particular layer or selecting a particular layer 
as active then using the call that uses the active layer.

e.g.

project =QgsProject.instance()

layer = project.mapLayersByName("Live Aerial Footprints")[0]

layer.setSubsetString(aerialFilter)

# insert code here to zoom to this layer



Thanks
