[Qgis-developer] Identify Feature programatically (PyQgis) ?

[Martin Dobias]

Hi Joseph

If you just want to highlight a particular feature, you do not need to use
the identify tool. The following code will load a feature and highlight it
in canvas. It should work if you try it in QGIS python console.

l = iface.activeLayer()   # your layer
fid = 10   # your feature id

from PyQt4.QtCore import Qt
from qgis.gui import *
f = l.getFeatures(QgsFeatureRequest(fid)).next()
r = QgsRubberBand(iface.mapCanvas())
r.setColor(Qt.red)
r.setToGeometry(f.geometry(), l)
r.show()

If your layer is a polygon layer (instead of line layer), add second
argument to QgsRubberBand with value QGis.Polygon

Cheers
Martin
