QGIS-feature-tracker commented 5 years ago

Original commit: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commit/f23b09b845c9afd8a2a9c21ef3358eb13a0f74be by nyalldawson

This commit adds more methods to the public, stable API for the layout designer dialog, allowing plugins and scripts greater flexibility in extending and hooking into the layout designer.

New API includes:

access to the main menus shown in the dialog, allowing custom actions to be added to the dialog
access to the dialog's toolbars
methods for adding (and removing) additional dock widgets to the designer
the method used to show/hide rulers in the designer

@nyalldawson this has no impact on the GUI, right? Is this something to update on the PyQGIS API?

Yes this is for the cookbook only
