QRegion::QRegion()

Constructs an empty region.

See also isEmpty().

QRegion::QRegion(int x, int y, int w, int h, RegionType t = Rectangle)

Constructs a rectangular or elliptic region.

If t is Rectangle, the region is the filled rectangle (x, y, w, h). If t is Ellipse, the region is the filled ellipse with center at (x + w / 2, y + h / 2) and size (w ,h).

QRegion::QRegion(const QPolygon & a, Qt::FillRule fillRule = Qt::OddEvenFill)

Constructs a polygon region from the point array a with the fill rule specified by fillRule.

If fillRule is Qt::WindingFill, the polygon region is defined using the winding algorithm; if it is Qt::OddEvenFill, the odd-even fill algorithm is used.

Warning: This constructor can be used to create complex regions that will slow down painting when used.

QRegion::QRegion(const QRegion & r)

Constructs a new region which is equal to region r.

QRegion::QRegion(const QBitmap & bm)

Constructs a region from the bitmap bm.

The resulting region consists of the pixels in bitmap bm that are Qt::color1, as if each pixel was a 1 by 1 rectangle.

This constructor may create complex regions that will slow down painting when used. Note that drawing masked pixmaps can be done much faster using QPixmap::setMask().

QRegion::QRegion(const QRect & r, RegionType t = Rectangle)

This is an overloaded function.

Create a region based on the rectange r with region type t.

If the rectangle is invalid a null region will be created.

See also QRegion::RegionType.

QRect QRegion::boundingRect() const

Returns the bounding rectangle of this region. An empty region gives a rectangle that is QRect::isNull().

bool QRegion::contains(const QPoint & p) const

Returns true if the region contains the point p; otherwise returns false.

bool QRegion::contains(const QRect & r) const

This is an overloaded function.

Returns true if the region overlaps the rectangle r; otherwise returns false.

Handle QRegion::handle() const

Returns a platform-specific region handle. The Handle type is HRGN on Windows, Region on X11, and RgnHandle on Mac OS X. On Qt for Embedded Linux it is void *.

Warning: This function is not portable.

QRegion QRegion::intersected(const QRegion & r) const

Returns a region which is the intersection of this region and r.

The figure shows the intersection of two elliptical regions.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

See also subtracted(), united(), and xored().

QRegion QRegion::intersected(const QRect & rect) const

Returns a region which is the intersection of this region and the given rect.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.

See also subtracted(), united(), and xored().

bool QRegion::intersects(const QRegion & region) const

Returns true if this region intersects with region, otherwise returns false.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

bool QRegion::intersects(const QRect & rect) const

Returns true if this region intersects with rect, otherwise returns false.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

bool QRegion::isEmpty() const

Returns true if the region is empty; otherwise returns false. An empty region is a region that contains no points.

Example:

QRegion r1(10, 10, 20, 20);
r1.isEmpty();               // false

QRegion r3;
r3.isEmpty();               // true

QRegion r2(40, 40, 20, 20);
r3 = r1.intersected(r2);    // r3: intersection of r1 and r2
r3.isEmpty();               // true

r3 = r1.united(r2);         // r3: union of r1 and r2
r3.isEmpty();               // false

int QRegion::rectCount() const

Returns the number of rectangles that will be returned in rects().

This function was introduced in Qt 4.6.

QVector<QRect> QRegion::rects() const

Returns an array of non-overlapping rectangles that make up the region.

The union of all the rectangles is equal to the original region.

See also setRects().

void QRegion::setRects(const QRect * rects, int number)

Sets the region using the array of rectangles specified by rects and number. The rectangles must be optimally Y-X sorted and follow these restrictions:

• The rectangles must not intersect.
• All rectangles with a given top coordinate must have the same height.
• No two rectangles may abut horizontally (they should be combined into a single wider rectangle in that case).
• The rectangles must be sorted in ascending order, with Y as the major sort key and X as the minor sort key.

See also rects().

QRegion QRegion::subtracted(const QRegion & r) const

Returns a region which is r subtracted from this region.

The figure shows the result when the ellipse on the right is subtracted from the ellipse on the left (left - right).

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

See also intersected(), united(), and xored().

void QRegion::swap(QRegion & other)
