Detailed Description

The QRegion class specifies a clip region for a painter.

\inmodule QtGui

QRegion is used with QPainter::setClipRegion() to limit the paint area to what needs to be painted. There is also a QWidget::repaint() function that takes a QRegion parameter. QRegion is the best tool for minimizing the amount of screen area to be updated by a repaint.

This class is not suitable for constructing shapes for rendering, especially as outlines. Use QPainterPath to create paths and shapes for use with QPainter.

QRegion is an \l{implicitly shared} class.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ const_iterator

Since
5.8

An iterator over the non-overlapping rectangles that make up the region.

The union of all the rectangles is equal to the original region.

QRegion does not offer mutable iterators.

begin(), end()

Definition at line 82 of file qregion.h.

◆ const_reverse_iterator

Since
5.8

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ RegionType

Specifies the shape of the region to be created.

\value Rectangle the region covers the entire rectangle. \value Ellipse the region is an ellipse inside the rectangle.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QRegion() [1/7]

QRegion::QRegion ( )

Constructs an empty region.

See also
isEmpty()
Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ QRegion() [2/7]

QRegion::QRegion ( int  x,
int  y,
int  w,
int  h,
RegionType  t = Rectangle 
)

Constructs a rectangular or elliptic region.

If t is Rectangle, the region is the filled rectangle (x, y, w, h). If t is Ellipse, the region is the filled ellipse with center at (x + w / 2, y + h / 2) and size (w ,h).

Definition at line 196 of file qregion.cpp.

◆ QRegion() [3/7]

QRegion::QRegion ( const QRect r,
RegionType  t = Rectangle 
)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Create a region based on the rectangle r with region type t.

If the rectangle is invalid a null region will be created.

See also
QRegion::RegionType

◆ QRegion() [4/7]

QRegion::QRegion ( const QPolygon a,
Qt::FillRule  fillRule = Qt::OddEvenFill 
)

Constructs a polygon region from the point array a with the fill rule specified by fillRule.

If fillRule is \l{Qt::WindingFill}, the polygon region is defined using the winding algorithm; if it is \l{Qt::OddEvenFill}, the odd-even fill algorithm is used.

Warning
This constructor can be used to create complex regions that will slow down painting when used.

◆ QRegion() [5/7]

QRegion::QRegion ( const QRegion r)

Constructs a new region which is equal to region r.

◆ QRegion() [6/7]

QRegion::QRegion ( QRegion &&  other)
inlinenoexcept
Since
5.7

Move-constructs a new region from region other. After the call, other is null.

See also
isNull()

Definition at line 72 of file qregion.h.

◆ QRegion() [7/7]

QRegion::QRegion ( const QBitmap bm)

Constructs a region from the bitmap bm.

The resulting region consists of the pixels in bitmap bm that are Qt::color1, as if each pixel was a 1 by 1 rectangle.

This constructor may create complex regions that will slow down painting when used. Note that drawing masked pixmaps can be done much faster using QPixmap::setMask().

QRegion::~QRegion ( )
