[Qgis-developer] Python: How to allow for more results using QgsSnapper.snapMapPoint(...)

[Casper Børgesen (CABO)]

Hi Martin

Great and thanks for the heads up. I will look into QgsPointLocator and see if I can get it to work with better results :)

Regards, Casper

Instead of using QgsSnapper classes, try QgsPointLocator. The old snapping classes around QgsSnapper will be removed in QGIS 3.0 as they have been replaced by QgsPointLocator and QgsSnappingUtils anyway - the new classes perform better and they are easier to use. They are available in API since QGIS 2.8.

The following should work for you to get all segments in vicinity:

loc = QgsPointLocator(canvas.currentLayer())
results = loc.edgesInRect(QgsPoint(2.0, 2.0), 0.5)

The "results" variable will contain matches with all edges around given point with specified tolerance.
