Detailed Description

The Image type displays an image.

The source of the image is specified as a resource URL using the source property. Images resources are made available through the qulrcc resource compiler. By default, images are decompressed before being embedded into the binary and thus any of the standard image formats supported by Qt, including bitmap formats such as PNG and JPEG, and vector graphics formats such as SVG are supported. Animated images are not supported.

If the width and height properties are not specified, the Image automatically uses the size of the loaded image. By default, specifying the width and height of the item causes the image to be scaled to that size. This behavior can be changed by setting the fillMode property, allowing the image to be stretched and tiled instead.

See also dealing with image resources.

Example Usage

The following example shows the simplest usage of the Image type.

import QtQuick

Image {
    source: "qrc:///pics/qtlogo.png"
}

Property Documentation

horizontalAlignment : enumeration

verticalAlignment : enumeration

Sets the horizontal and vertical alignment of the image. By default, the image is center aligned.

The valid values for horizontalAlignment are Image.AlignLeft, Image.AlignRight and Image.AlignHCenter. The valid values for verticalAlignment are Image.AlignTop, Image.AlignBottom and Image.AlignVCenter.


fillMode : enumeration

Set this property to define what happens when the source image has a different size than the item.

  • Image.Stretch - the image is scaled to fit
  • Image.PreserveAspectFit - the image is scaled uniformly to fit without cropping
  • Image.PreserveAspectCrop - the image is scaled uniformly to fill, cropping if necessary
  • Image.Tile - the image is duplicated horizontally and vertically
  • Image.TileVertically - the image is stretched horizontally and tiled vertically
  • Image.TileHorizontally - the image is stretched vertically and tiled horizontally
  • Image.Pad - the image is not transformed

Stretch (default)
Image {
    width: 130; height: 100
    source: "qrc:///qtlogo.png"
}

PreserveAspectFit
Image {
    width: 130; height: 100
    fillMode: Image.PreserveAspectFit
    source: "qrc:///qtlogo.png"
}

PreserveAspectCrop
Image {
    width: 130; height: 100
    fillMode: Image.PreserveAspectCrop
    source: "qrc:///qtlogo.png"
    clip: true
}

Tile
Image {
    width: 120; height: 120
    fillMode: Image.Tile
    horizontalAlignment: Image.AlignLeft
    verticalAlignment: Image.AlignTop
    source: "qrc:///qtlogo.png"
}

TileVertically
Image {
    width: 120; height: 120
    fillMode: Image.TileVertically
    verticalAlignment: Image.AlignTop
    source: "qrc:///qtlogo.png"
}

TileHorizontally
Image {
    width: 120; height: 120
    fillMode: Image.TileHorizontally
    verticalAlignment: Image.AlignLeft
    source: "qrc:///qtlogo.png"
}

Note that clip is false by default which means that the item might paint outside its bounding rectangle even if the fillMode is set to PreserveAspectCrop.

Set QUL_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SCALE on images that are scaled to enable build-time optimizations for the resource.


source : image

As the url QML basic type is not supported, there exists an another basic type called image which is the type of the Image object's source property.

Image accepts an absolute resource URL, for example "qrc:///images/map.png". The resource must have been compiled with qulrcc to be available.


transform : list<Transform>

This property holds the list of transformations to apply.
