Member Function Documentation

const QColor & QPainter::backgroundColor () const

Use background() and QBrush::color() instead.

For example, if you have code like

 QColor myColor = backgroundColor();

you can rewrite it as

 QColor myColor = background().color();

Note that the background can be a complex brush such as a texture or a gradient.

See also setBackgroundColor().

bool QPainter::begin ( QPaintDevice * device, const QWidget * init )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

Use begin() instead.

If the paint device is a QWidget, QPainter is initialized after the widget's settings automatically. Otherwise, you must call the initFrom() function to initialize the painters pen, background and font to the same as any given widget.

For example, if you have code like

 QPainter painter(this);
 painter.begin(device, init);

you can rewrite it as

 QPainter painter(this);
 painter.begin(device);
 painter.initFrom(init);

QRect QPainter::boundingRect ( const QRect & rectangle, int flags, const QString & text, int length )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

Returns the bounding rectangle for the given length of the text constrained by the provided rectangle.

Use boundingRect() combined with QString::left() instead.

For example, if you have code like

 QRect rectangle = boundingRect(rect, flags, text, length);

you can rewrite it as

 QRect rectangle = boundingRect(rect, flags, text.left(length));

QRect QPainter::boundingRect ( int x, int y, int width, int height, int flags, const QString & text, int length )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

Returns the bounding rectangle for the given length of the text constrained by the rectangle that begins at point (x, y) with the given width and height.

Use boundingRect() combined with QString::left() instead.

For example, if you have code like

 QRect rectangle = boundingRect(x, y, width, height, flags, text, length);

you can rewrite it as

 QRect rectangle = boundingRect(x, y, width, height, flags, text.left(length));

void QPainter::drawConvexPolygon ( const QPolygonF & polygon, int index, int count = -1 )

 QPainter painter(this);
 painter.drawCubicBezier(controlPoints, index)

you can rewrite it as

 QPainterPath path;

                     controlPoints.at(index+2),
                     controlPoints.at(index+3));

 QPainter painter(this);
 painter.strokePath(path, painter.pen());

void QPainter::drawLineSegments ( const QPolygon & polygon, int index = 0, int count = -1 )

Draws count separate lines from points defined by the polygon, starting at polygon[index] (index defaults to 0). If count is -1 (the default) all points until the end of the array are used.

Use drawLines() combined with QPolygon::constData() instead.

For example, if you have code like

 QPainter painter(this);
