Hi
For a project I need independent QgsMapCanvas instances, in particular a
child view which is unrelated to the main view (including its
layertree). (Easy example: the main view displays a city, and if the
user clicks on a "show building schema" button in the building feature
attribute dialog, the schema of the building is opened in a secondary
view. The layers of the building schema should not appear in the main
layer tree however).
Currently this is not possible: while one can set the layers
individually for each QgsMapCanvas, the QgsMapSetting ends up storing
the layer ids and hence they must be stored in the QgsMapLayerRegistry.
Items which are stored in the QgsMapLayerRegistry will always be visible
in the application legend tree.
So I was thinking about whether it would make sense to store the actual
QgsMapLayer pointers instead of the layerIds in QgsMapSettings, so that
the whole rendering process is independent of QgsMapLayerRegistry.
I haven't yet investigated extensively how invasive such a change would
be, but are there some initial opinions?
Thanks
Sandro
