Geographic Information Systems Asked by Asfixia on April 3, 2021
I’m developing a plugin for QGIS called ‘Mappia_Example’ to allows the community to publish its maps online. But i need some help, i am trying to export a map in QGIS to PNG but its using aproximated colors instead of the ones defined on legend entries.
You can export a map using the interface by clicking: Project -> Import/Export -> Export as image.
and the issue is the same.
The problem is that the legend has a value but the PNG file has other colors. I need a way to export the map using the color in legend, not approximated colors. I’ve already set the ResamplingMethod to ‘Nearest’ but without success.
How to export a tif map to PNG in QGIS, and it keep using the exact colors of legend entries? If someone can please help.
Examples of wrong pixel color values:
Legend (178,178,178) gray as ‘No Forest’ contrast, brightness and saturation are 0:
Drawn as (177,177,177) pixel:
Another example of difference in a legend entry with color (255,178, 0) representing ’43-48′ interval.
Drawn as (250,225,5) pixel:
A Working code that i made trying to export using pyQgis tested in 3.14 but should work from 3.4 version:
from qgis.core import (QgsCoordinateTransform, QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem, QgsProject)
#Configure the rendering settings for the WMS tiles.
def createLayerRenderSettings(layer, dest_crs, outputFormat):
settings = QgsMapSettings()
settings.setFlag(QgsMapSettings.Flag.Antialiasing, False)
settings.setFlag(QgsMapSettings.Flag.UseRenderingOptimization, False)
#settings.setFlag(QgsMapSettings.Flag.LosslessImageRendering, True) #not available yet
settings.setFlag(QgsMapSettings.Flag.UseAdvancedEffects, False)
settings.setOutputImageFormat(outputFormat)
settings.setDestinationCrs(dest_crs)
settings.setLayers([layer])
dpi = 256
settings.setOutputDpi(dpi)
color = QColor(0, 0, 0, 0)
settings.setBackgroundColor(color)
layer.resampleFilter().setZoomedInResampler(None)
layer.resampleFilter().setZoomedOutResampler(None)
layer.resampleFilter().setOn(False)
return settings
def getMapExtent(layer, projection):
mapExtent = layer.extent()
projection.validate()
layer.crs().validate()
src_to_proj = QgsCoordinateTransform(layer.crs(), projection, QgsProject.instance())
return src_to_proj.transformBoundingBox(mapExtent)
#Return the rendered map (QImage) for the metatile zoom level.
def renderMetatile(dest_crs, renderSettings, transformContext, sourceCrs, extents, width, height):
wgs_to_dest = QgsCoordinateTransform(sourceCrs, dest_crs, transformContext)
renderSettings.setExtent(wgs_to_dest.transformBoundingBox(extents)) #QgsRectangle(*extents)))
size = QSize(width, height)
renderSettings.setOutputSize(size)
image = QImage(size, renderSettings.outputImageFormat())
image.fill(Qt.transparent)
painter = QPainter(image)
job = QgsMapRendererCustomPainterJob(renderSettings, painter)
job.renderSynchronously()
painter.end()
return image
layer = QgsProject.instance().mapLayersByName("phylogenetic_composition")[0]
dest_crs = QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem('EPSG:3857')
wgs_crs = QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem('EPSG:4326')
extent = getMapExtent(layer, wgs_crs)
outputFormat = QImage.Format_ARGB32
layerRenderSettings = createLayerRenderSettings(layer, dest_crs, outputFormat)
tileHeight = tileWidth = 256
mapRendered = renderMetatile(dest_crs, layerRenderSettings, layer.transformContext(), wgs_crs, extent, tileWidth, tileHeight)
quality = 100
mapRendered.save('C:tmptile.png', 'PNG', quality)
#no success with paleted png either
mapRendered.convertToFormat(QImage.Format_Indexed8, Qt.ColorOnly | Qt.ThresholdDither | Qt.AvoidDither).save("C:/tmp/2a.png", "PNG", -1)
Example data:
PS: I’ve tried setting the QgsMapSettings.Flag.LosslessImageRendering in QGIS 3.15 but the results still the same.
Edit: The exact style i am using: https://github.com/asfixia/Mappia_Example/releases/download/Map_Download/phylogenetic_composition.qml
Edit2: I had to change the "Min / Max " interpolation method to "discrete" so the colors are now exact. The fixed QML style can be downloaded at: https://github.com/asfixia/Mappia_Example/releases/download/Map_Download/phylogenetic_composition_fixed.qml
