Hello,

Here is a snipped of code that can help you.
To test this you have to:
- Show python console
- enable the polygonal digitizing tool (must be the active tool before launching this snippet)
- execute the code in the python editor
- start digitizing
- see the area printing in the console

Don't hesitate if you have further questions.

Regards,

# Measurement object (adapt with crs/transform context/ellipsoid)
da = QgsDistanceArea()
da.setSourceCrs(QgsProject.instance().crs(), QgsProject.instance().transformContext())
# If distance measurement must use ellipsoid
da.setEllipsoid(QgsProject.instance().ellipsoid())

# This is a demonstration function to adapt with your needs
def showArea(current_point):
    if not isinstance(iface.mapCanvas().mapTool(), QgsMapToolDigitizeFeature):
        return

    # Snapping
    snapped_point = iface.mapCanvas().snappingUtils().snapToMap(current_point).point()
    if not snapped_point.isEmpty():
        current_point = snapped_point

    # Coordinates in map coordinates
    points = [QgsPointXY(point) for point in iface.mapCanvas().mapTool().pointsZM()]
    points.append(current_point)

    # Show area
    print(da.measurePolygon(points))

# Must be handled correctly in the final code, but here is for testing
iface.mapCanvas().xyCoordinates.connect(showArea)

Looking for something like

canvas.xyCoordinates.connect( self.canvasMoveEvent )

but that’s from a 7 year old post so looks like xyCoordinates is not in QGIS 3.x

I found

QgsMapToolEmitPoint, QgsMapTooland |canvas.setMapTool(…)|
||

|So I declared my class as |AoiSizeValidator(QgsMapToolEmitPoint)

||
|But gave that a try and it gets me x,y, initially but when I select an add layer from the qgis edit menu, I guess it sets a new map tool so mine gets overridden.  So looks like I need a different approach to get xy from the map canvas. |

*Subject:* [QGIS-Developer] Detect a Map Canvas Mouse Event

Trying to get a map canvas event when canvas is clicked and mouse is dragged.  I have code that creates an empty layer, but I use the QGIS edit menu to add the actually layer.  I want to be able to track the mouse movement so I can calculated the area of the feature being drawn in real time so I can make sure the area is within a defined range.

Is there an event I can connect to so I can run my custom code when the even occurs?
