QgsRubberBand constructor deprecation warning

Question

I construct a QgsRubberBand in PyQGIS 2.18.17 the following way

canvas = iface.mapCanvas()
my_rubber = QgsRubberBand(canvas, QGis.WKBPolygon)

according to https://qgis.org/api/2.18/classQgsRubberBand.html

and get a Deprecation Warning like

2018-03-23T11:56:19 1   warning:C:/Users/Jochen/.qgis2/python/plugins\BBBBPlanung\bbbb_planung_dockwidget.py:666: DeprecationWarning: QgsRubberBand constructor is deprecated
          my_rubber = QgsRubberBand(canvas, QGis.WKBPolygon)

Why this?

Answer 1

Should have had a deeper look into QGis.GeometryType https://qgis.org/api/2.18/classQGis.html#a09947eb19394302eeeed44d3e81dd74b

According to this

my_rubber = QgsRubberBand(canvas, QGis.Polygon)

is the correct way, and the Deprecation Warning has vanished.
