API reference - Class QPicture

_assign

Signature: void _assign (const QPicture other)

Description: Assigns another object to self

_const_cast

Signature: [const] QPicture ptr _const_cast

Description: Returns a non-const reference to self.

Basically, this method allows turning a const object reference to a non-const one. This method is provided as last resort to remove the constness from an object. Usually there is a good reason for a const object reference, so using this method may have undesired side effects.

This method has been introduced in version 0.29.6.

_create

Signature: void _create

Description: Ensures the C++ object is created

Use this method to ensure the C++ object is created, for example to ensure that resources are allocated. Usually C++ objects are created on demand and not necessarily when the script object is created.

_destroy

Signature: void _destroy

Description: Explicitly destroys the object

Explicitly destroys the object on C++ side if it was owned by the script interpreter. Subsequent access to this object will throw an exception. If the object is not owned by the script, this method will do nothing.

_destroyed?

Signature: [const] bool _destroyed?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the object was already destroyed

This method returns true, if the object was destroyed, either explicitly or by the C++ side. The latter may happen, if the object is owned by a C++ object which got destroyed itself.

_dup

Signature: [const] new QPicture ptr _dup

Description: Creates a copy of self

_is_const_object?

Signature: [const] bool _is_const_object?

Description: Returns a value indicating whether the reference is a const reference

This method returns true, if self is a const reference. In that case, only const methods may be called on self.

_manage

Signature: void _manage

Description: Marks the object as managed by the script side.

After calling this method on an object, the script side will be responsible for the management of the object. This method may be called if an object is returned from a C++ function and the object is known not to be owned by any C++ instance. If necessary, the script side may delete the object if the script's reference is no longer required.

Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24.

_unmanage

Signature: void _unmanage

Description: Marks the object as no longer owned by the script side.

Calling this method will make this object no longer owned by the script's memory management. Instead, the object must be managed in some other way. Usually this method may be called if it is known that some C++ object holds and manages this object. Technically speaking, this method will turn the script's reference into a weak reference. After the script engine decides to delete the reference, the object itself will still exist. If the object is not managed otherwise, memory leaks will occur.

Usually it's not required to call this method. It has been introduced in version 0.24.

assign

Signature: QPicture assign (const QPicture p)

Description: Method QPicture &QPicture::operator=(const QPicture &p)

boundingRect

Signature: [const] QRect boundingRect

Description: Method QRect QPicture::boundingRect()

Python specific notes:
The object exposes a readable attribute 'boundingRect'. This is the getter.

boundingRect=

Signature: void boundingRect= (const QRect r)

Description: Method void QPicture::setBoundingRect(const QRect &r)

Python specific notes:
The object exposes a writable attribute 'boundingRect'. This is the setter.

data

Signature: [const] string data

Description: Method const char *QPicture::data()

detach

Signature: void detach

Description: Method void QPicture::detach()

dup

Signature: [const] new QPicture ptr dup

Description: Creates a copy of self

Python specific notes:
This method also implements '__copy__' and '__deepcopy__'.

inputFormatList

Signature: [static] string[] inputFormatList

Description: Static method QStringList QPicture::inputFormatList()

This method is static and can be called without an instance.

inputFormats

Signature: [static] bytes[] inputFormats

Description: Static method QList<QByteArray> QPicture::inputFormats()

This method is static and can be called without an instance.

isDetached?

Signature: [const] bool isDetached?

Description: Method bool QPicture::isDetached()

isNull?

Signature: [const] bool isNull?

Description: Method bool QPicture::isNull()

load

(1) Signature: bool load (QIODevice ptr dev, string format = 0)

Description: Method bool QPicture::load(QIODevice *dev, const char *format)

(2) Signature: bool load (string fileName, string format = 0)

Description: Method bool QPicture::load(const QString &fileName, const char *format)

metric

Signature: [const] int metric (const QPaintDevice_PaintDeviceMetric m)

Description: Virtual method int QPicture::metric(QPaintDevice::PaintDeviceMetric m)

This method can be reimplemented in a derived class.

new

(1) Signature: [static] new QPicture new (int formatVersion = -1)

Description: Constructor QPicture::QPicture(int formatVersion)

This method creates an object of class QPicture.

Python specific notes:
This method is the default initializer of the object.

(2) Signature: [static] new QPicture new (const QPicture arg1)

Description: Constructor QPicture::QPicture(const QPicture &)

This method creates an object of class QPicture.

Python specific notes:
This method is the default initializer of the object.

outputFormatList

Description: Static method QStringList QPicture::outputFormatList()

This method is static and can be called without an instance.

outputFormats

Signature: [static] bytes[] outputFormats

Description: Static method QList<QByteArray> QPicture::outputFormats()

This method is static and can be called without an instance.

paintEngine

Signature: [const] QPaintEngine ptr paintEngine

Description: Virtual method QPaintEngine *QPicture::paintEngine()

This method can be reimplemented in a derived class.

pictureFormat

Signature: [static] string pictureFormat (string fileName)

Description: Static method const char *QPicture::pictureFormat(const QString &fileName)

This method is static and can be called without an instance.

play

Signature: bool play (QPainter ptr p)

setBoundingRect

Signature: void setBoundingRect (const QRect r)

Description: Method void QPicture::setBoundingRect(const QRect &r)

Python specific notes:
The object exposes a writable attribute 'boundingRect'. This is the setter.
