Maps the given coordinates x and y into the coordinate system defined by this matrix. The resulting values are put in *tx and *ty, respectively.

if (is not affine) {
    w' = m13*x + m23*y + m33
    x' /= w'
    y' /= w'
}

The point (x, y) is the original point, and (x', y') is the transformed point.

See also Basic Matrix Operations.

QPointF QTransform::​map(const QPointF & p) const

This is an overloaded function.

Creates and returns a QPointF object that is a copy of the given point, p, mapped into the coordinate system defined by this matrix.

QPoint QTransform::​map(const QPoint & point) const

This is an overloaded function.

QRegion QTransform::​map(const QRegion & region) const

This is an overloaded function.

Creates and returns a QRegion object that is a copy of the given region, mapped into the coordinate system defined by this matrix.

Calling this method can be rather expensive if rotations or shearing are used.

QPainterPath QTransform::​map(const QPainterPath & path) const

This is an overloaded function.

Creates and returns a QPainterPath object that is a copy of the given path, mapped into the coordinate system defined by this matrix.

void QTransform::​map(int x, int y, int * tx, int * ty) const

This is an overloaded function.

Maps the given coordinates x and y into the coordinate system defined by this matrix. The resulting values are put in *tx and *ty, respectively. Note that the transformed coordinates are rounded to the nearest integer.

QRectF QTransform::​mapRect(const QRectF & rectangle) const

Creates and returns a QRectF object that is a copy of the given rectangle, mapped into the coordinate system defined by this matrix.

The rectangle's coordinates are transformed using the following formulas:

x' = m11*x + m21*y + dx
y' = m22*y + m12*x + dy
if (is not affine) {
    w' = m13*x + m23*y + m33
    x' /= w'
    y' /= w'
}

If rotation or shearing has been specified, this function returns the bounding rectangle. To retrieve the exact region the given rectangle maps to, use the mapToPolygon() function instead.

See also mapToPolygon() and Basic Matrix Operations.

QRect QTransform::​mapRect(const QRect & rectangle) const

This is an overloaded function.

Creates and returns a QRect object that is a copy of the given rectangle, mapped into the coordinate system defined by this matrix. Note that the transformed coordinates are rounded to the nearest integer.

QPolygon QTransform::​mapToPolygon(const QRect & rectangle) const

Creates and returns a QPolygon representation of the given rectangle, mapped into the coordinate system defined by this matrix.

The rectangle's coordinates are transformed using the following formulas:

x' = m11*x + m21*y + dx
y' = m22*y + m12*x + dy
if (is not affine) {
    w' = m13*x + m23*y + m33
    x' /= w'
    y' /= w'
}

Polygons and rectangles behave slightly differently when transformed (due to integer rounding), so matrix.map(QPolygon(rectangle)) is not always the same as matrix.mapToPolygon(rectangle).

See also mapRect() and Basic Matrix Operations.

[static] bool QTransform::​quadToQuad(const QPolygonF & one, const QPolygonF & two, QTransform & trans)

Creates a transformation matrix, trans, that maps a four-sided polygon, one, to another four-sided polygon, two. Returns true if the transformation is possible; otherwise returns false.

This is a convenience method combining quadToSquare() and squareToQuad() methods. It allows the input quad to be transformed into any other quad.

See also squareToQuad() and quadToSquare().

[static] bool QTransform::​quadToSquare(const QPolygonF & quad, QTransform & trans)

Creates a transformation matrix, trans, that maps a four-sided polygon, quad, to a unit square. Returns true if the transformation is constructed or false if such a transformation does not exist.

See also squareToQuad() and quadToQuad().

void QTransform::​reset()

Resets the matrix to an identity matrix, i.e. all elements are set to zero, except m11 and m22 (specifying the scale) and m33 which are set to 1.

See also QTransform(), isIdentity(), and Basic Matrix Operations.

QTransform & QTransform::​rotate(qreal angle, Qt::Axis axis = Qt::ZAxis)

Rotates the coordinate system counterclockwise by the given angle about the specified axis and returns a reference to the matrix.

Note that if you apply a QTransform to a point defined in widget coordinates, the direction of the rotation will be clockwise because the y-axis points downwards.

The angle is specified in degrees.

See also setMatrix().

QTransform & QTransform::​rotateRadians(qreal angle, Qt::Axis axis = Qt::ZAxis)

Rotates the coordinate system counterclockwise by the given angle about the specified axis and returns a reference to the matrix.

Note that if you apply a QTransform to a point defined in widget coordinates, the direction of the rotation will be clockwise because the y-axis points downwards.

The angle is specified in radians.

See also setMatrix().

QTransform & QTransform::​scale(qreal sx, qreal sy)

Scales the coordinate system by sx horizontally and sy vertically, and returns a reference to the matrix.

See also setMatrix().

void QTransform::​setMatrix(qreal m11, qreal m12, qreal m13, qreal m21, qreal m22, qreal m23, qreal m31, qreal m32, qreal m33)

Sets the matrix elements to the specified values, m11, m12, m13 m21, m22, m23 m31, m32 and m33. Note that this function replaces the previous values. QTransform provides the translate(), rotate(), scale() and shear() convenience functions to manipulate the various matrix elements based on the currently defined coordinate system.

See also QTransform().

QTransform & QTransform::​shear(qreal sh, qreal sv)

Shears the coordinate system by sh horizontally and sv vertically, and returns a reference to the matrix.

See also setMatrix().

[static] bool QTransform::​squareToQuad(const QPolygonF & quad, QTransform & trans)

Creates a transformation matrix, trans, that maps a unit square to a four-sided polygon, quad. Returns true if the transformation is constructed or false if such a transformation does not exist.

See also quadToSquare() and quadToQuad().

const QMatrix & QTransform::​toAffine() const

Returns the QTransform as an affine matrix.

Warning: If a perspective transformation has been specified, then the conversion will cause loss of data.

QTransform & QTransform::​translate(qreal dx, qreal dy)

Moves the coordinate system dx along the x axis and dy along the y axis, and returns a reference to the matrix.

See also setMatrix().

QTransform QTransform::​transposed() const

Returns the transpose of this matrix.

TransformationType QTransform::​type() const

Returns the transformation type of this matrix.

The transformation type is the highest enumeration value capturing all of the matrix's transformations. For example, if the matrix both scales and shears, the type would be TxShear, because TxShear has a higher enumeration value than TxScale.

Knowing the transformation type of a matrix is useful for optimization: you can often handle specific types more optimally than handling the generic case.

QTransform::​operator QVariant() const
