Detailed Description

A size is specified by a width() and a height(). It can be set in the constructor and changed using the setWidth(), setHeight(), or scale() functions, or using arithmetic operators. A size can also be manipulated directly by retrieving references to the width and height using the rwidth() and rheight() functions. Finally, the width and height can be swapped using the transpose() function.

The isValid() function determines if a size is valid. A valid size has both width and height greater than or equal to zero. The isEmpty() function returns true if either of the width and height is less than (or equal to) zero, while the isNull() function returns true only if both the width and the height is zero.

Use the expandedTo() function to retrieve a size which holds the maximum height and width of this size and a given size. Similarly, the boundedTo() function returns a size which holds the minimum height and width of this size and a given size.

The QSizeF class also provides the toSize() function returning a QSize copy of this size, constructed by rounding the width and height to the nearest integers.

QSizeF objects can be streamed as well as compared.

[static, since 5.8] QSizeF QSizeF::fromCGSize(CGSize size)

Creates a QRectF from size.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.8.

See also toCGSize().

qreal QSizeF::height() const

Returns the height.

See also width() and setHeight().

bool QSizeF::isEmpty() const

Returns true if either of the width and height is less than or equal to 0; otherwise returns false.

See also isNull() and isValid().

bool QSizeF::isNull() const

Returns true if both the width and height are 0.0 (ignoring the sign); otherwise returns false.

See also isValid() and isEmpty().

bool QSizeF::isValid() const

Returns true if both the width and height are equal to or greater than 0; otherwise returns false.

See also isNull() and isEmpty().

qreal &QSizeF::rheight()

Returns a reference to the height.

Using a reference makes it possible to manipulate the height directly. For example:

QSizeF size(100, 10.2);
size.rheight() += 5.5;

// size becomes (100,15.7)

See also rwidth() and setHeight().

qreal &QSizeF::rwidth()

Returns a reference to the width.

Using a reference makes it possible to manipulate the width directly. For example:

QSizeF size(100.3, 10);
size.rwidth() += 20.5;

 // size becomes (120.8,10)

See also rheight() and setWidth().

void QSizeF::scale(qreal width, qreal height, Qt::AspectRatioMode mode)

Scales the size to a rectangle with the given width and height, according to the specified mode.

  • If mode is Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio, the size is set to (width, height).
  • If mode is Qt::KeepAspectRatio, the current size is scaled to a rectangle as large as possible inside (width, height), preserving the aspect ratio.
  • If mode is Qt::KeepAspectRatioByExpanding, the current size is scaled to a rectangle as small as possible outside (width, height), preserving the aspect ratio.

Example:

QSizeF t1(10, 12);
t1.scale(60, 60, Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio);
// t1 is (60, 60)

QSizeF t2(10, 12);
t2.scale(60, 60, Qt::KeepAspectRatio);
// t2 is (50, 60)

QSizeF t3(10, 12);
t3.scale(60, 60, Qt::KeepAspectRatioByExpanding);
// t3 is (60, 72)
