<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The TQPicture class is a paint device that records and
replays <a href="tqpainter.html">TQPainter</a> commands.
<p>
<p> A picture serializes painter commands to an IO device in a
platform-independent format. For example, a picture created under
Windows can be read on a Sun SPARC.
<p> Pictures are called meta-files on some platforms.
<p> TQt pictures use a proprietary binary format. Unlike native picture
(meta-file) formats on many window systems, TQt pictures have no
limitations regarding their contents. Everything that can be
painted can also be stored in a picture, e.g. fonts, pixmaps,
regions, transformed graphics, etc.
<p> TQPicture is an <a href="shclass.html">implicitly shared</a> class.
<p> Example of how to record a picture:
<pre>
TQPicture pic;
<a href="tqpainter.html">TQPainter</a> p;
p.<a href="tqpainter.html#begin">begin</a>( &amp;pic ); // paint in picture
p.<a href="tqpainter.html#drawEllipse">drawEllipse</a>( 10,20, 80,70 ); // draw an ellipse
p.<a href="tqpainter.html#end">end</a>(); // painting done
pic.<a href="#save">save</a>( "drawing.pic" ); // save picture
</pre>
<p> Example of how to replay a picture:
<pre>
TQPicture pic;
pic.<a href="#load">load</a>( "drawing.pic" ); // load picture
<a href="tqpainter.html">TQPainter</a> p;
p.<a href="tqpainter.html#begin">begin</a>( &amp;myWidget ); // paint in myWidget
p.<a href="tqpainter.html#drawPicture">drawPicture</a>( pic ); // draw the picture
p.<a href="tqpainter.html#end">end</a>(); // painting done
</pre>
<p> Pictures can also be drawn using <a href="#play">play</a>(). Some basic data about a
picture is available, for example, <a href="#size">size</a>(), <a href="#isNull">isNull</a>() and
<a href="#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>().

<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQPicture"></a>TQPicture::TQPicture ( int&nbsp;formatVersion = -1 )
</h3>
Constructs an empty picture.
<p> The <em>formatVersion</em> parameter may be used to <em>create</em> a TQPicture
that can be read by applications that are compiled with earlier
versions of TQt.
<ul>
<li> <em>formatVersion</em> == 1 is binary compatible with TQt 1.x and later.
<li> <em>formatVersion</em> == 2 is binary compatible with TQt 2.0.x and later.
<li> <em>formatVersion</em> == 3 is binary compatible with TQt 2.1.x and later.
<li> <em>formatVersion</em> == 4 is binary compatible with TQt 3.0.x and later.
<li> <em>formatVersion</em> == 5 is binary compatible with TQt 3.1.
</ul>
<p> Note that the default formatVersion is -1 which signifies the
current release, i.e. for TQt 3.1 a formatVersion of 5 is the same
as the default formatVersion of -1.
<p> Reading pictures generated by earlier versions of TQt is supported
and needs no special coding; the format is automatically detected.
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQPicture-2"></a>TQPicture::TQPicture ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqpicture.html">TQPicture</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;pic )
</h3>
Constructs a <a href="shclass.html">shallow copy</a> of <em>pic</em>.
<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQPicture"></a>TQPicture::~TQPicture ()
</h3>
Destroys the picture.
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqrect.html">TQRect</a> <a name="boundingRect"></a>TQPicture::boundingRect () const
</h3>
Returns the picture's bounding rectangle or an invalid rectangle
if the picture contains no data.
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqpicture.html">TQPicture</a> <a name="copy"></a>TQPicture::copy () const<tt> [protected]</tt>
</h3>
Returns a <a href="shclass.html">deep copy</a> of the picture.
<h3 class=fn>const char * <a name="data"></a>TQPicture::data () const
</h3>
<p> Returns a pointer to the picture data. The pointer is only valid
until the next non-const function is called on this picture. The
returned pointer is 0 if the picture contains no data.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#size">size</a>() and <a href="#isNull">isNull</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="detach"></a>TQPicture::detach ()<tt> [protected]</tt>
</h3>
Detaches from shared picture data and makes sure that this picture
is the only one referring to the data.
<p> If multiple pictures share common data, this picture makes a copy
of the data and detaches itself from the sharing mechanism.
Nothing is done if there is just a single reference.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isNull"></a>TQPicture::isNull () const
</h3>
<p> Returns TRUE if the picture contains no data; otherwise returns
FALSE.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="load"></a>TQPicture::load ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;fileName, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;format = 0 )
</h3>
Loads a picture from the file specified by <em>fileName</em> and returns
TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> By default, the file will be interpreted as being in the native
TQPicture format. Specifying the <em>format</em> string is optional and
is only needed for importing picture data stored in a different
format.
<p> Currently, the only external format supported is the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/">W3C SVG</a> format which
requires the <a href="xml.html">TQt XML module</a>. The
corresponding <em>format</em> string is "svg".
<p> <p>See also <a href="#save">save</a>().
<p>Examples: <a href="picture-example.html#x122">picture/picture.cpp</a> and <a href="xform-example.html#x1244">xform/xform.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="load-2"></a>TQPicture::load ( <a href="tqiodevice.html">TQIODevice</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;dev, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;format = 0 )
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> <em>dev</em> is the device to use for loading.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="metric"></a>TQPicture::metric ( int&nbsp;m ) const<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
Internal implementation of the virtual TQPaintDevice::metric()
function.
<p> Use the <a href="tqpaintdevicemetrics.html">TQPaintDeviceMetrics</a> class instead.
<p> A picture has the following hard-coded values: dpi=72,
numcolors=16777216 and depth=24.
<p> <em>m</em> is the metric to get.
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqpicture.html">TQPicture</a>&nbsp;&amp; <a name="operator-eq"></a>TQPicture::operator= ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqpicture.html">TQPicture</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;p )
</h3>
Assigns a <a href="shclass.html">shallow copy</a> of <em>p</em> to this
picture and returns a reference to this picture.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="play"></a>TQPicture::play ( <a href="tqpainter.html">TQPainter</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;painter )
</h3>
Replays the picture using <em>painter</em>, and returns TRUE if
successful; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> This function does exactly the same as <a href="tqpainter.html#drawPicture">TQPainter::drawPicture</a>()
with (x, y) = (0, 0).
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="save"></a>TQPicture::save ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;fileName, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;format = 0 )
</h3>
Saves a picture to the file specified by <em>fileName</em> and returns
TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> Specifying the file <em>format</em> string is optional. It's not
recommended unless you intend to export the picture data for
use by a third party reader. By default the data will be saved in
the native TQPicture file format.
<p> Currently, the only external format supported is the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/">W3C SVG</a> format which
requires the <a href="xml.html">TQt XML module</a>. The
corresponding <em>format</em> string is "svg".
<p> <p>See also <a href="#load">load</a>().
<p>Example: <a href="picture-example.html#x123">picture/picture.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="save-2"></a>TQPicture::save ( <a href="tqiodevice.html">TQIODevice</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;dev, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;format = 0 )
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> <em>dev</em> is the device to use for saving.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setBoundingRect"></a>TQPicture::setBoundingRect ( const&nbsp;<a href="tqrect.html">TQRect</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;r )
</h3>
Sets the picture's bounding rectangle to <em>r</em>. The automatically
calculated value is overriden.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setData"></a>TQPicture::setData ( const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;data, uint&nbsp;size )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the picture data directly from <em>data</em> and <em>size</em>. This
function copies the input data.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#data">data</a>() and <a href="#size">size</a>().
<h3 class=fn>uint <a name="size"></a>TQPicture::size () const
</h3>
<p> Returns the size of the picture data.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#data">data</a>().

</h3>
<p> Writes picture <em>r</em> to the stream <em>s</em> and returns a reference to
the stream.
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqdatastream.html">TQDataStream</a>&nbsp;&amp; <a name="operator-gt-gt"></a>operator&gt;&gt; ( <a href="tqdatastream.html">TQDataStream</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;s, <a href="tqpicture.html">TQPicture</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;r )
</h3>
<p> Reads a picture from the stream <em>s</em> into picture <em>r</em> and returns
a reference to the stream.
