Hi,

Interesting, according to QT doc WebGLEnabled should be enabled by default if 
available but I will add it anyway as you suggested.

Would you mind sharing the code to install missing dependencies once you are 
done with it? I have not looked into it yet and this would save me some time! 
Thank you,

Jean-Baptiste Peter

Plugin

Hi, your question unblocked me.
I'm using my "qgis2web" plugin and your "layer atlas" plugin in a laptop with 
integrated (not dedicated) video card and that's why I get white screen when I 
use our plugins. Using them on a desktop PC with a dedicated video card both 
work.

Taking inspiration from the "HERE Maps for QGIS" plugin which works well on my 
laptop and which uses QtWebEngine, I understood that to make our plugins work 
we need to add a setting.

In Layer_Atlas_dockwidget.py file edit:

from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineView, QWebEngineSettings

and add WebGLEnabled settings:

class CustomWebEngineView(QWebEngineView):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(CustomWebEngineView, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        settings = self.settings()
        settings.setAttribute(QWebEngineSettings.WebGLEnabled, True)

Your plugin will work perfectly even on PCs without a dedicated video card.

Now you should configure automatic installation of the dependency in case it is 
not there. This way all users, even those who install via .msi, will be able to 
use your plugin. Always take inspiration from the "Here" plugin, I still have 
to finish the code but I'm almost done.

Congratulations for the plugin, it works great and I think it is very useful.

This is head spinning! For OSGeo4W install with "python3-pyqtwebengine" 
selected, are you testing this in a VM? I wonder if the crash at startup may be 
caused by the fact that qwebengineview is using opengl which is not working 
with emulated graphics. This works on my desktop.

I am sure for the .msi installer and will have to do further research.

Best,

Jean-Bapiste

Since version 3.38.0 the QtWebEngine export has been added back to qgis.PyQt as 
you can see here: 
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/final-3_38_0/python/PyQt/CMakeLists.txt

So by installing the standard QGIS .msi just add the dependency via "pip 
install QtWebEngine" and then use "from qgis.PyQt.QtWebEngineWidgets"

In any case I just installed QGIS in win10 from the OSGeo4W installer adding 
only the "python3-pyqtwebengine" dependency and your plugin doesn't work. 
Crashes QGIS startup.
Maybe do some testing on new installations.

As for me, since I believe that most users use qgis via the .msi installation, 
not via OSGeo4W, it is important for me to understand what to have users 
install and my goal, when I will at least be able to start my plugin, will be 
to try to automate these dependencies.
Isn't it the same for you? How do you solve this "problem"?

For now I noticed this:

with qgis 3.38.0 .msi installation this dependency is missing:

qt5-devel (5.15.13-1)
Qt5 headers and libraries (Development)
Required by: python3-pyqtwebengine


with OSGeo4W setup these dependencies are required:

python3-core (3.12.4-1)
Python core interpreter and runtime
Required by: python3-pyqtwebengine, python3-pyqt5, python3-pyqt5-sip

python3-pyqt5 (5.15.10-1)
Python bindings for the Qt cross platform application toolkit
Required by: python3-pyqtwebengine

python3-pyqt5-sip (12.13.0-1)
The sip module support for PyQt5
Required by: python3-pyqtwebengine, python3-pyqt5

qt5-devel (5.15.13-1)
Qt5 headers and libraries (Development)
Required by: python3-pyqtwebengine

qt5-libs (5.15.13-1)
Qt5 runtime libraries
Required by: python3-pyqtwebengine, python3-pyqt5, qt5-devel, qtwebkit-libs

Oggetto RE: Re:[QGIS-Developer] Request for Initial Feedback on Layer Atlas 
Plugin

Did you install PyQtWebEngine “manually” using pip install? If that is the 
case, it will not be bundled with qgis and needs to be imported from Pyqt 
directly:

‘from qgis.PyQt.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineView’

needs to be replaced by :

‘from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineView’


As of now, the only way to get this working out of the box is to install qgis 
with Osgeo4W installer.

Best,

Jean-Baptiste Peter

I don’t think this will work with qgis installed using .msi as the installer 
does not include PyQtWebEngine.

It should work out of the box using qgis osgeo4W installer which includes the 
latest version of PyQtWebEngine (5.15.6) which is required for the plugin to 
work. There should not be any other dependencies.

Best,

Jean-Baptiste Peter

In a clean install of QGIS 3.38.0, installing the package via the zip 
downloaded from github, the plugin does not work. The icon is not visible and 
if I close and reopen QGIS it does not start.
No message in python console.
What additional dependencies does it need?
I use win10 and I installed QGIS via .msi

Oggetto [QGIS-Developer] Request for Initial Feedback on Layer Atlas Plugin

Dear Developers,

I have been experimenting for a while with QWebEngineView which opens a lot of 
possibilities for plugin development and started to implement a new plugin to 
explore and share layers directly from QGIS by simply dragging and dropping 
them from the layer panel.

Here is a short screen recording to see how it works:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5k74faBJKo

As there are a few things remaining to do, the plugin not yet uploaded to the 
plugin repo but it is mostly functional. Initial feedback from interested 
testers would be very useful!

Here is the GitHub repository to try it out:
https://github.com/jbp35/layer-atlas-plugin/

Thank you for your time and assistance!

Best regards,

Jean-Baptiste Peter
