I'm putting together a plugin for QGIS. The user inputs a county and a coordinate pair. The plugin then adds in the county data and zooms to the given coordinates.
The problem is that there are multiple counties with the same name, when zoomed into the coord pair, the county data may be visible but not active because there are multiple layers with the same name added.
I need a way to activate the layer that is in view/visible/can-be-seen-at-the current-position in canvas. I've tried:
import qgis import qgis.utils canvas = qgis.utils.iface.mapCanvas() layers = qgis.utils.iface.legendInterface().layers() i = qgis.utils.iface legend = i.legendInterface() #iter through the legend layers for layer in layers: #if the name of the layer is the same as the what the user input if layer.name().lower() == county.lower(): #and you can see it in the canvas/in the extent/if youre looking at it if canvas.extent() == layer.extent(): #make the layer active so i can select, or identify things iface.setActiveLayer(layer) legend.isLayerVisible(layer) is not what im looking for, it toggles layers, the data is already visible, I need the layer in my current position active.
Any help,comments, suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
