[GIS] How to enable the snapping for a layer with the tolerance value with python programming

pyqgisqgis

I have a vector polygon and vector polyline layer. I want to enable the snapping for both the layer with tolerance value? How can i do that using python programming. I have tried this code but getting the following error:

snapper = QgsMapCanvasSnapper(canvas) 
snapper.setSnapSettingsForLayer(aLayer,True,SnapToVertexAndSegment,pixels,0.0001‌,True)

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in AttributeError: 'QgsMapCanvasSnapper' object has no attribute 'setSnapSettingsForLayer'

Can anyone help me in setting the snapping options to the currentLayer using python programming?

You must define it first:

result3 = QgsVectorLayer("LineString", "ligne", "memory") 
#it's to create your layer

ligneid=result3.id()
# it allows you to have the idvalue for your layer

QgsProject.instance().setSnapSettingsForLayer(ligneid,True,2,1,1000,True)
# it defines the snapping options ligneid : the id of your layer, True : to enable the layer snapping, 2 : options (0: on vertex, 1 on segment, 2: vertex+segment), 1: pixel (0: type of unit on map), 1000 : tolerance, true : avoidIntersection)

[GIS] Import shapefile to PostGIS using Python and OGR

the problem is this line...

srcFile = os.path.join("DISTAL-data", "TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3","C:\Users\n\Downloads\TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3\TM_WORLD_BORDE‌RS-0.3.shp")

os.path.join() will create this file path (under windows)

\DISTAL-data\TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3\C:\Users\n\Downloads\TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3\TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3.shp

which probably isn't a valid path. Just replace it with

srcFile = 'C:\Users\n\Downloads\TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3\TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3.shp'

and it should work.

[GIS] How to enable/disable snapping functionality with PyQGIS

I seem to have found the problem. In QGIS all layers were initially activated for the Snapping. First I disable any snapping operations. Subsequently, the Snapping is enabled for a few layers.

for item in QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayers().values():
    QgsProject.instance().setSnapSettingsForLayer(item.id(), False, 2, 0, 2, True)
    fieldLayer = mapUtils.getLayerByName(agroInstance.dictData['lpisid'])
    backgroundLpisLayer = mapUtils.getLayerByName('LPISe')
    if checked:
        # Convenience function to set snap settings per layer.
        # it defines the snapping options:
        # id : the id of your layer, True : to enable the layer snapping, 2 : options (2: vertex+segment), 0: type of unit on map, 2 : tolerance, true : avoidIntersection)
        QgsProject.instance().setSnapSettingsForLayer(layerA.id(), True, 2, 0, 2, True)
        QgsProject.instance().setSnapSettingsForLayer(layerB.id(), True, 2, 0, 2, True)

The variable 'checked' checks whether a toggle button has been pressed. With this unsightly way I can turn the snapping on and off.
