The QPainter class paints on paint devices. More...
#include <qpainter.h>
Inherits Qt.
The painter provides efficient graphics rendering on any QPaintDevice object. QPainter can draw everything from simple lines to complex shapes like pies and chords. It can also draw aligned text and pixmaps. Normally, it draws in a "natural" coordinate system, but it can also do view and world transformation.
The typical use of a painter is:
Mostly, all this is done inside a paint event. (In fact, 99% of all QPainter use is in a reimplementation of QWidget::paintEvent()). Here's one very simple example:
void SimpleExampleWidget::paintEvent()
{
QPainter paint( this );
paint.setPen( Qt::blue );
paint.drawText( rect(), AlignCenter, "The Text" );
}
Simple. However, there are many settings you may use:
Opaque or Transparent, ie. whether
backgroundColor() is used or not.
Note that some of these settings mirror settings in some paint devices, e.g. QWidget::font(). QPainter::begin() (or the QPainter constructor) copies these attributes from the paint device, changing calling e.g. QWidget::setFont() doesn't take effect until the next time a painter begins painting on it.
save() saves all of these settings on an internal stack, restore() pops them back.
The core functionality of QPainter is drawing, and there are functions to draw most primitives: drawPoint(), drawPoints(), drawLine(), drawRect(), drawWinFocusRect(), drawRoundRect(), drawEllipse(), drawArc(), drawPie(), drawChord(), drawLineSegments(), drawPolyline(), drawPolygon(), and drawQuadBezier().
There are functions to draw pixmaps/images, namely drawPixmap(), drawImage() and drawTiledPixmap(). drawPixmap() and drawImage() produce the same result, except that drawPixmap() is faster on-screen and drawImage() faster and sometimes better on QPrinter and QPicture.
Text drawing is done using drawText(), and when you need fine-grained positioning, boundingRect() tells you where a given drawText() command would draw.
There is a drawPicture() that draws the contents of an entire QPicture using this painter. drawPicture() is the only function that disregards all the painter's settings: The QPicture has its own settings.
Normally, the QPainter operates on the device's own coordinate system (usually pixels), but QPainter has good support for coordinate transformation. See The Coordinate System for a more general overview and a walkthrough of a simple example.
The most common functions used are scale(), rotate(), translate() and shear(), all of which operate on the worldMatrix(). setWorldMatrix() can replace or add to the currently set matrix().
setViewport() sets the rectangle on which QPainter operates. The default is the entire device, which is usually fine, except on printers. setWindow() sets the coordinate system, that is, the rectangle that maps to viewport(). What's draws inside the window() ends up being inside the viewport(). The window's default is the same as the viewport, and if you don't use the transformations, they are optimized away, gaining a little speed.
After all the coordinate transformation is done, QPainter can clip the drawing to and arbitrary rectangle or region. hasClipping() is TRUE if QPainter clips, and clipRegion() returns the clip region. You can set it using either setClipRegion() or setClipRect(). Note that the clipping can be slow. It's all system-dependent, but as a rule of thumb, you can assume that drawing speed is inversely proportional to the number of rectangles in the clip region.
After QPainter's clipping, the paint device too will clip a bit. For example, most widgets clip away the pixels used by child widgets, and most printers clip away an area near the edges of the paper. This additional clipping is not reflected by the return value of clipRegion() or hasClipping().
Finally, QPainter includes some little-used functions that are very handy the few times you need them.
isActive() indicates whether the painter is active. begin() (and the most usual constructor) makes it active. end() (and the destructor) deactivates it. If the painter is active, device() returns the paint device on which the painter paints.
Sometimes it is desirable to make someone else paint on an unusual QPaintDevice. QPainter supports a static function to do this, redirect(). We recommend not using it, but for some hacks it's perfect.
setTabStops() and setTabArray() can change where the tab stops are, but these are very seldomly used.
Warning: Note that QPainter does not attempt to work around coordinate limitations in the underlying window system. Some platforms may behave incorrectly with coordinates as small as +/- 4000.

Constructs a painter.
Notice that all painter settings (setPen,setBrush etc.) are reset to default values when begin() is called.
Constructs a painter that begins painting the paint device pd immediately.
This constructor is convenient for short-lived painters, e.g. in a paint event and should be used only once. The constructor calls begin() for you and the QPainter destructor automatically calls end().
Here's an example using begin() and end():
void MyWidget::paintEvent( QPaintEvent * )
{
QPainter p;
p.begin( this );
p.drawLine( ... ); // drawing code
p.end();
}
The same example using this constructor:
void MyWidget::paintEvent( QPaintEvent * )
{
QPainter p( this );
p.drawLine( ... ); // drawing code
}
Constructs a painter that begins painting the paint device pd immediately, with the default arguments taken from copyAttributes.
See also begin().
Destructs the painter.
Returns the current background color.
See also setBackgroundColor() and QColor.
Returns the current background mode.
See also setBackgroundMode() and BGMode.
Begins painting the paint device pd and returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE if an error occurs.
The errors that can occur are serious problems, such as these:
p->begin( 0 ); // impossible - paint device cannot be 0
QPixmap pm( 0, 0 );
p->begin( pm ); // impossible - pm.isNull();
p->begin( myWidget );
p2->begin( myWidget ); // impossible - only one painter at a time
Note that most of the time, you can use one of the constructors instead of begin(), and that end() is automatically done at destruction.
Warning: A paint device can only be painted by one painter at a time.
Examples: desktop/desktop.cpp picture/picture.cpp
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
This version opens the painter on a paint device pd and sets the initial pen, background color and font from copyAttributes. This is equivalent with:
QPainter p;
p.begin( pd );
p.setPen( copyAttributes->foregroundColor() );
p.setBackgroundColor( copyAttributes->backgroundColor() );
p.setFont( copyAttributes->font() );
This begin function is convenient for double buffering. When you draw in a pixmap instead of directly in a widget (to later bitBlt the pixmap into the widget) you will need to set the widgets's font etc. This function does exactly that.
Example:
void MyWidget::paintEvent( QPaintEvent * )
{
QPixmap pm(size());
QPainter p;
p.begin(&pm, this);
// ... potential flickering paint operation ...
p.end();
bitBlt(this, 0, 0, &pm);
}
See also end().
Returns the bounding rectangle of the aligned text that would be printed with the corresponding drawText() function (the first len characters from str). The drawing, and hence the bounding rectangle, is constrained to the rectangle (x,y,w,h).
If len is negative (default value), the whole string is used.
The tf argument is the bitwise OR of the following flags:
AlignLeft aligns to the left border.
AlignRight aligns to the right border.
AlignHCenter aligns horizontally centered.
AlignTop aligns to the top border.
AlignBottom aligns to the bottom border.
AlignVCenter aligns vertically centered
AlignCenter (= AlignHCenter | AlignVCenter)
SingleLine ignores newline characters in the text.
ExpandTabs expands tabulators.
ShowPrefix interprets "&x" as "x" underlined.
WordBreak breaks the text to fit the rectangle.
Horizontal alignment defaults to AlignLeft and vertical alignment defaults to AlignTop.
If several of the horizontal or several of the vertical alignment flags are set, the resulting alignment is undefined.
These flags are defined in qnamespace.h.
See also drawText(), fontMetrics(), QFontMetrics::boundingRect() and Qt::AlignmentFlags.

Draws an arc defined by the rectangle (x,y,w,h), the start angle a and the arc length alen.
The angles a and alen are 1/16th of a degree, i.e. a full circle equals 5760 (16*360). Positive values of a and alen mean counter-clockwise while negative values mean clockwise direction. Zero degrees is at the 3'o clock position.
Example:
QPainter p( myWidget );
p.drawArc( 10,10, 70,100, 100*16, 160*16 ); // draws a "(" arc

Draws the polygon defined by the npoints points in a starting at a[index]. (index defaults to 0.)
If npoints is -1 (the default) all points until the end of the array are used (i.e. a.size()-index line segments define the polygon).
The first point is always connected to the last point.
The polygon is filled with the current brush(). If winding is TRUE, the polygon is filled using the winding fill algorithm. If winding is FALSE, the polygon is filled using the even-odd (alternative) fill algorithm.

Ends painting. Any resources used while painting are released.
Note that while you mostly don't need to call end(), the destructor will do it, there is at least one common case, namely double buffering.
QPainter p( myPixmap, this )
// ...
p.end(); // stops drawing on myPixmap
p.begin( this );
p.drawPixmap( myPixmap );
Since you can't draw a QPixmap while it is being painted, it is necessary to close the active painter.
See also begin() and isActive().
Examples: desktop/desktop.cpp picture/picture.cpp

Resets any transformations that were made using translate(), scale(), shear(), rotate(), setWorldMatrix(), setViewport() and setWindow()
See also worldMatrix(), viewport() and window().
Restores the current painter state (pops a saved state off the stack).
See also save().
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working, and will probably be removed in a future version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
We recommend using save() instead.
Rotates the coordinate system a degrees.
See also translate(), scale(), shear(), resetXForm(), setWorldMatrix() and xForm().
Saves the current painter state (pushes the state onto a stack). A save() must be followed by a corresponding restore(). end() unwinds the stack().
See also restore().
This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working, and will probably be removed in a future version of Qt. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
We recommend using save() instead.
Scales the coordinate system by (sx,sy).
See also translate(), shear(), rotate(), resetXForm(), setWorldMatrix() and xForm().
Sets the background color of the painter to c.
The background color is the color that is filled in when drawing opaque text, stippled lines and bitmaps. The background color has no effect in transparent background mode (which is the default).
See also backgroundColor(), setBackgroundMode() and BackgroundMode.
Sets the background mode of the painter to m, which must be one
of TransparentMode (the default) and OpaqueMode.
Transparent mode draws stippled lines and text without setting the background pixels. Opaque mode fills these space with the current background color.
Note that in order to draw a bitmap or pixmap transparently, you must use QPixmap::setMask().
See also backgroundMode() and setBackgroundColor().
Examples: picture/picture.cpp

(which is the default case).
See also tabStops(), setTabArray(), drawText() and fontMetrics().
Enables view transformations if enable is TRUE, or disables view transformations if enable is FALSE.
See also hasViewXForm(), setWindow(), setViewport(), setWorldMatrix(), setWorldXForm() and xForm().
Sets the viewport rectangle view transformation for the painter and enables view transformation.
The viewport rectangle is part of the view transformation. The viewport specifies the device coordinate system. Its sister, the window(), specifies the logical coordinate system.
The default viewport rectangle is the same as the device's rectangle. See the Coordinate System Overview for an overview of coordinate transformation.
See also viewport(), setWindow(), setViewXForm(), setWorldMatrix(), setWorldXForm() and xForm().

Examples: drawdemo/drawdemo.cpp forever/forever.cpp
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
Sets the world transformation matrix to m and enables world transformation.
If combine is TRUE, then m is combined with the current transformation matrix, otherwise m replaces the current transformation matrix.
If m the identity matrix and combine is FALSE, this function calls setWorldXForm(FALSE). (The identity matrix is the matrix where QWMatrix::m11() and QWMatrix::m22() are 1.0 and the rest are 0.0.)
World transformations are applied after the view transformations (i.e. window and viewport).
The following functions can transform the coordinate system without using a QWMatrix:
They operate on the painter's worldMatrix() and are implemented like this:
void QPainter::rotate( double a )
{
QWMatrix m;
m.rotate( a );
setWorldMatrix( m, TRUE );
}
Note that you should always use combine when you are drawing into a QPicture. Otherwise it may not be possible to replay the picture with additional transformations. Using translate(), scale(), etc. is safe.
For a brief overview of coordinate transformation, see the Coordinate System Overview.
See also worldMatrix(), setWorldXForm(), setWindow(), setViewport(), setViewXForm(), xForm() and QWMatrix.
Examples: drawdemo/drawdemo.cpp
Enables world transformations if enable is TRUE, or disables world transformations if enable is FALSE. The world transformation matrix is not changed.

{
QPainter paint( this );
paint.drawLine(10,0,10,20);
paint.translate(100.0,100.0);
paint.drawLine(-90,-80,-90,-70);

Returns the point array av transformed from model coordinates to device coordinates. The index is the first point in the array and npoints denotes the number of points to be transformed. If npoints is negative, all points from av[index] until the last point in the array are transformed.
The returned point array consists of the number of points that were transformed.
Example:
QPointArray a(10);
QPointArray b;
b = painter.xForm(a,2,4); // b.size() == 4
b = painter.xForm(a,2,-1); // b.size() == 8

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
Returns the point array ad transformed from device coordinates to model coordinates. The index is the first point in the array and npoints denotes the number of points to be transformed. If npoints is negative, all points from av[index] until the last point in the array are transformed.
The returned point array consists of the number of points that were transformed.
Example:
QPointArray a(10);
QPointArray b;
b = painter.xFormDev(a,1,3); // b.size() == 3
b = painter.xFormDev(a,1,-1); // b.size() == 9

#include <qdrawutil.h>
Draws a plain rectangle given by (x, y, w, h) using the painter p.
The color argument c specifies the line color.
The lineWidth argument specifies the line width.
The rectangle interior is filled with the fill brush unless fill is null.
If you want to use a QFrame widget instead, you can make it display a
plain rectangle, for example
QFrame::setFrameStyle( QFrame::Box | QFrame::Plain ).
Warning: This function does not look at QWidget::style() or QApplication::style(). Use the drawing functions in QStyle to make widgets that follow the current GUI style.
See also qDrawShadeRect() and QStyle::drawRect().
#include <qdrawutil.h>
Draws a horizontal (y1 == y2) or vertical (x1 == x2) shaded line using the painter p.
Nothing is drawn if y1 != y2 and x1 != x2 (i.e. the line is neither horizontal nor vertical).
The color group argument g specifies the shading colors (light, dark and middle colors).
The line appears sunken if sunken is TRUE, or raised if sunken is FALSE.
The lineWidth argument specifies the line width for each of the lines. It is not the total line width.
The midLineWidth argument specifies the width of a middle line drawn in the QColorGroup::mid() color.
If you want to use a QFrame widget instead, you can make it display a
shaded line, for example
QFrame::setFrameStyle( QFrame::HLine | QFrame::Sunken ).
Warning: This function does not look at QWidget::style() or QApplication::style(). Use the drawing functions in QStyle to make widgets that follow the current GUI style.
See also qDrawShadeRect(), qDrawShadePanel() and QStyle::drawSeparator().
#include <qdrawutil.h>
Draws a Windows-style button given by (x, y, w, h) using the painter p.
The color group argument g specifies the shading colors (light, dark and middle colors).
The button appears sunken if sunken is TRUE, or raised if sunken is FALSE.
The line width is 2 pixels.
The button interior is filled with the *fill brush unless fill is null.
Warning: This function does not look at QWidget::style() or QApplication::style(). Use the drawing functions in QStyle to make widgets that follow the current GUI style.
See also qDrawWinPanel() and QStyle::drawButton().
#include <qdrawutil.h>
Draws a Windows-style panel given by (x, y, w, h) using the painter p.
The color group argument g specifies the shading colors.
The panel appears sunken if sunken is TRUE, or raised if sunken is FALSE.
The line width is 2 pixels.
The button interior is filled with the fill brush unless fill is null.
If you want to use a QFrame widget instead, you can make it display a
shaded panel, for example
QFrame::setFrameStyle( QFrame::WinPanel | QFrame::Raised ).
Warning: This function does not look at QWidget::style() or QApplication::style(). Use the drawing functions in QStyle to make widgets that follow the current GUI style.
