Style "Meters at scale" hogs CPU

Description

After selecting "Meters at scale" option in a style QGIS becomes unresponsive for couple of seconds to several minutes. This involves at least the following situations:
  • Opening the project takes several minutes
  • Opening the layer settings which contains the "Meters at scale" option
  • Clicking on an item in the symbol tree
  • Changing an option of an item in the symbol tree

I attached gdb to a running QGIS process and pressed CTRL-C when clicking on symbol tab sheet in layer settings and the dialog got unresponsive for a minute or so. Maybe this helps a little bit.

History

#1 Updated by Daniel Krüger almost 6 years ago

I made some further debugging with Callgrind and added some qDebug() output to QgsMarkerLineSymbolLayer::renderPolylineInterval().

It seems that QgsSymbolLayerUtils::symbolLayerPreviewPicture() needs a large processing time for generating the icon. That's because it uses some default QgsRenderContext with default ellipsoid. So it draws millions of markers (repeated every 3 meters at scale) on the icon.

Where is the right place to fix this scaling issue?

If someone is interested I can provide a small test project. It takes a couple of minutes for opening the project.

#2 Updated by Johannes Kroeger over 5 years ago

I just ran into this option behaving weirdly and hogging CPU as well. In my case it is NOT hogging CPU when the canvas is EPSG:4326 but it is if the canvas is for example EPSG:3857 or EPSG:25832 (UTM32N).

Here is an example project, set the OTF projection to trigger the CPU hogging. You might need to pan around a bit to make it happen. Data is https://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/10m/cultural/ne_10m_admin_0_countries.zip
