Description

The following code adds four groups to the legend. Unfortunately they're all nested while the goal would be to put them into legend root:

i = qgis.utils.iface
l = i.legendInterface()
groupAnnotation = l.addGroup("Annotation",False)
groupDimensioning = l.addGroup("Dimensioning", True)
groupLocation = l.addGroup("Location", True)
groupTopo = l.addGroup("Topo", True)

History

#1 Updated by Marco Bernasocchi over 13 years ago

I m dealing with the same problem in my multiview plugin (https://issues.qgis.org/projects/multiview/repository/revisions/master/entry/temporalrasterloaderdialog.py) and i noticed that if i create a group and then load a layer the groups get created at the end of the list (look for the hack in the link). So maybe it is a more complex issue/bug.

added python bindings. it supports only nesting into a top level element like removeGroup. we should think of a more flexible solution.

#11 Updated by Marco Hugentobler over 13 years ago

Yes, all these group functions with int indices come frome the pre-multiple nesting time. It would probably be better to do a bit of interface redesign for both QgsLegend and QgsLegendInterface after 1.7 (maybe working with QTreeWidgetItems)
