[GIS] How to remove subgroup labels from legend

legendprint-composerqgis

In print composer legend is it possible to turn off the display of the group name in the legend?

So it shouldn't show the DSC_Roads and other items marked with X

You can just go to Legend items and right-click the subgroup that you want to hide and click on Hidden. This will do what you are asking for.

Finally I found the answer : using the QgsLegendModelV2()class, and its functions inherited from QgsLayerTreeModel : "index(i,j)" to select each legend item and "rowcount" to obtain the rows number. All in a "for x in xrange" loop.

That gives:

for i in self.composition.items():
    if isinstance(i,QgsComposerLegend):
        legend = i
        for i in xrange(legend.modelV2().rowCount()):
            posteleg=legend.modelV2().index(i, 0)
            print posteleg.data()

Not completely sure why but for 10 legend items, increasing the column count to 6 instead of 5 seems to split the items equally.

Perhaps it is related to hiding the group/subgroup name which seems to count as a legend item itself...
