| May 27, 2012 at 2:07 | comment | added | dakcarto | On another note, the latest versions of QGIS (>= 1.8) allow the user to define a rendering order of layers separately from the order listed in the legend (very nice!). The legendInterface() and mapCanvas() methods return the layer order for each respectively. | |
| May 27, 2012 at 2:00 | comment | added | dakcarto | Note that there is a difference in what is returned between this and the mapCanvas() technique Nathan mentions. The legendInterface() object will return all layers, even if they are not shown in the map canvas, while mapCanvas() returns only those shown on the canvas. Using mapCanvas() is a nice, quick way to get a reference to visible layers. | |
