The drawing capabilities are implemented by the subclasses TQWidget, TQPixmap, TQPicture and TQPrinter. .PP The default coordinate system of a paint device has its origin located at the top-left position. X increases to the right and Y increases downward. The unit is one pixel. There are several ways to set up a user-defined coordinate system using the painter, for example, using TQPainter::setWorldMatrix(). .PP Example (draw on a paint device): .PP .nf .br void MyWidget::paintEvent( TQPaintEvent * ) .br { .br TQPainter p; // our painter .br p.begin( this ); // start painting the widget .br p.setPen( red ); // red outline .br p.setBrush( yellow ); // yellow fill .br p.drawEllipse( 10, 20, 100,100 ); // 100x100 ellipse at position (10, 20) .br p.end(); // painting done .br } .br .fi .PP The bit block transfer is an extremely useful operation for copying pixels from one paint device to another (or to itself). It is implemented as the global function bitBlt(). .PP Example (scroll widget contents 10 pixels to the right): .PP .nf .br bitBlt( myWidget, 10, 0, myWidget ); .br .fi .PP \fBWarning:\fR TQt requires that a QApplication object exists before any paint devices can be created. Paint devices access window system resources, and these resources are not initialized before an application object is created. .PP See also Graphics Classes and Image Processing Classes. .SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION .SH "TQPaintDevice::TQPaintDevice ( uint devflags )\fC [protected]\fR" Constructs a paint device with internal flags \fIdevflags\fR.

If \fIsw\fR or \fIsh\fR is negative bitBlt() copies starting at \fIsx\fR (and respectively, \fIsy\fR) and ending at the right end (respectively, bottom) of \fIsrc\fR. .PP \fIsrc\fR must be a TQWidget or TQPixmap. You cannot blit from a TQPrinter, for example. bitBlt() does nothing if you attempt to blit from an unsupported device. .PP bitBlt() does nothing if \fIsrc\fR has a greater depth than \fIdst\fR. If you need to for example, draw a 24-bit pixmap on an 8-bit widget, you must use drawPixmap(). .SH "void bitBlt ( TQPaintDevice * dst, const TQPoint & dp, const TQPaintDevice * src, const TQRect & sr, RasterOp rop )" This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function. .PP Overloaded bitBlt() with the destination point \fIdp\fR and source rectangle \fIsr\fR. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR http://doc.trolltech.com/tqpaintdevice.html .BR http://www.trolltech.com/faq/tech.html .SH COPYRIGHT Copyright 1992-2007 Trolltech ASA, http://www.trolltech.com.
