Detailed Description

The QImage class represents a hardware independent representation of a bit map image. The image allows direct access to the pixel data and can be used as a paint device.

CopperSpice provides four classes for handling image data: QImage, QPixmap, QBitmap and QPicture. QImage is designed and optimized for I/O, and for direct pixel access and manipulation, while QPixmap is designed and optimized for showing images on screen. QBitmap is only a convenience class that inherits QPixmap, ensuring a depth of 1. The QPicture class is a paint device which records and replays QPainter commands.

Because QImage is a QPaintDevice subclass, QPainter can be used to draw directly onto images. When using QPainter on a QImage, the painting can be performed in another thread than the current GUI thread. The QImage class supports several image formats described by the Format enum. These include monochrome, 8-bit, 32-bit and alpha-blended images.

QImage provides a collection of functions which can be used to obtain a variety of information about the image. There are also several functions that enables transformation of the image. QImage objects can be passed around by value since the QImage class uses implicit data sharing. QImage objects can also be streamed and compared.

Warning: Painting on an QImage with the format QImage::Format_Indexed8 is not supported.

Reading and Writing Image Files

QImage provides several ways of loading an image file: The file can be loaded when constructing the QImage object, or by using the load() or loadFromData() functions later on. QImage also provides the static fromData() function, constructing a QImage from the given data. When loading an image, the file name can either refer to an actual file on disk or to one of the application's embedded resources. Refer to the Resource System overview for details on how to embed images and other resource files in the application's executable.

Simply call the save() function to save a QImage object.

The complete list of supported file formats are available through the QImageReader::supportedImageFormats() and QImageWriter::supportedImageFormats() functions. New file formats can be added as plugins. By default, CopperSpice supports the following formats:

Format	Description	CopperSpice support
BMP	Windows Bitmap	Read/write
GIF	Graphic Interchange Format (optional)	Read
JPG	Joint Photographic Experts Group	Read/write
JPEG	Joint Photographic Experts Group	Read/write
PNG	Portable Network Graphics	Read/write
PBM	Portable Bitmap	Read
PGM	Portable Graymap	Read
PPM	Portable Pixmap	Read/write
TIFF	Tagged Image File Format	Read/write
XBM	X11 Bitmap	Read/write
XPM	X11 Pixmap	Read/write

Image Information

QImage provides a collection of functions that can be used to obtain a variety of information about the image:

	Available Functions
Geometry	The size(), width(), height(), dotsPerMeterX(), and dotsPerMeterY() functions provide information about the image size and aspect ratio.The rect() function returns the image's enclosing rectangle. The valid() function tells if a given pair of coordinates is within this rectangle. The offset() function returns the number of pixels by which the image is intended to be offset by when positioned relative to other images, which also can be manipulated using the setOffset() function.
Colors	The color of a pixel can be retrieved by passing its coordinates to the pixel() function. The pixel() function returns the color as a QRgb value independent of the image's format.In case of monochrome and 8-bit images, the colorCount() and colorTable() functions provide information about the color components used to store the image data: The colorTable() function returns the image's entire color table. To obtain a single entry, use the pixelIndex() function to retrieve the pixel index for a given pair of coordinates, then use the color() function to retrieve the color. Note that if you create an 8-bit image manually, you have to set a valid color table on the image as well. The hasAlphaChannel() function tells if the image's format respects the alpha channel, or not. The allGray() and isGrayscale() functions tell whether an image's colors are all shades of gray.
Text	The text() function returns the image text associated with the given text key. An image's text keys can be retrieved using the textKeys() function. Use the setText() function to alter an image's text.
Low-level information	The depth() function returns the depth of the image. The supported depths are 1 (monochrome), 8, 16, 24 and 32 bits. The bitPlaneCount() function tells how many of those bits that are used. For more information refer to Image Formats. The format(), bytesPerLine(), and byteCount() functions provide low-level information about the data stored in the image. The cacheKey() function returns a number that uniquely identifies the contents of this QImage object.

Pixel Manipulation

The functions used to manipulate an image's pixels depend on the image format. The reason is that monochrome and 8-bit images are index-based and use a color lookup table, while 32-bit images store ARGB values directly. For more information on image formats, refer to the Image Formats.

In case of a 32-bit image, the setPixel() function can be used to alter the color of the pixel at the given coordinates to any other color specified as an ARGB quadruplet. To make a suitable QRgb value, use the qRgb() (adding a default alpha component to the given RGB values, i.e. creating an opaque color) or qRgba() function.

32-bit
	QImage image(3, 3, QImage::Format_RGB32); QRgb value; value = qRgb(189, 149, 39); // 0xffbd9527 image.setPixel(1, 1, value); value = qRgb(122, 163, 39); // 0xff7aa327 image.setPixel(0, 1, value); image.setPixel(1, 0, value); value = qRgb(237, 187, 51); // 0xffedba31 image.setPixel(2, 1, value);

In case of a 8-bit and monochrome images, the pixel value is only an index from the image's color table. So the setPixel() function can only be used to alter the color of the pixel at the given coordinates to a predefined color from the image's color table, i.e. it can only change the pixel's index value. To alter or add a color to an image's color table, use the setColor() function.

An entry in the color table is an ARGB quadruplet encoded as an QRgb value. Use the qRgb() and qRgba() functions to make a suitable QRgb value for use with the setColor() function.

8-bit
	QImage image(3, 3, QImage::Format_Indexed8); QRgb value; value = qRgb(122, 163, 39); // 0xff7aa327 image.setColor(0, value); value = qRgb(237, 187, 51); // 0xffedba31 image.setColor(1, value); value = qRgb(189, 149, 39); // 0xffbd9527 image.setColor(2, value); image.setPixel(0, 1, 0); image.setPixel(1, 0, 0); image.setPixel(1, 1, 2); image.setPixel(2, 1, 1);

QImage also provide the scanLine() function which returns a pointer to the pixel data at the scanline with the given index, and the bits() function which returns a pointer to the first pixel data (this is equivalent to scanLine(0)).

Image Formats

Each pixel stored in a QImage is represented by an integer. The size of the integer varies depending on the format. QImage supports several image formats described by the Format enum.

Monochrome images are stored using 1-bit indexes into a color table with at most two colors. There are two different types of monochrome images: big endian (MSB first) or little endian (LSB first) bit order.

8-bit images are stored using 8-bit indexes into a color table, i.e. they have a single byte per pixel. The color table is a QVector<QRgb>, and the QRgb typedef is equivalent to an unsigned int containing an ARGB quadruplet on the format 0xAARRGGBB.

32-bit images have no color table. Each pixel contains an QRgb value. There are three different types of 32-bit images storing RGB (i.e. 0xffRRGGBB), ARGB and premultiplied ARGB values respectively. In the premultiplied format the red, green, and blue channels are multiplied by the alpha component divided by 255.

An image's format can be retrieved using the format() function. Use the convertToFormat() functions to convert an image into another format. The allGray() and isGrayscale() functions tell whether a color image can safely be converted to a grayscale image.

Image Transformations

QImage supports a number of functions for creating a new image that is a transformed version of the original: The createAlphaMask() function builds and returns a 1-bpp mask from the alpha buffer in this image, and the createHeuristicMask() function creates and returns a 1-bpp heuristic mask for this image. The latter function works by selecting a color from one of the corners, then chipping away pixels of that color starting at all the edges.

The mirrored() function returns a mirror of the image in the desired direction, the scaled() returns a copy of the image scaled to a rectangle of the desired measures, and the rgbSwapped() function constructs a BGR image from a RGB image.

The scaledToWidth() and scaledToHeight() functions return scaled copies of the image.

The transformed() function returns a copy of the image that is transformed with the given transformation matrix and transformation mode: Internally, the transformation matrix is adjusted to compensate for unwanted translation, i.e. transformed() returns the smallest image containing all transformed points of the original image. The static trueMatrix() function returns the actual matrix used for transforming the image.

There are also functions for changing attributes of an image in-place:

Function	Description
setDotsPerMeterX()	Defines the aspect ratio by setting the number of pixels that fit horizontally in a physical meter.
setDotsPerMeterY()	Defines the aspect ratio by setting the number of pixels that fit vertically in a physical meter.
fill()	Fills the entire image with the given pixel value.
invertPixels()	Inverts all pixel values in the image using the given InvertMode value.
setColorTable()	Sets the color table used to translate color indexes. Only monochrome and 8-bit formats.
setColorCount()	Resizes the color table. Only monochrome and 8-bit formats.

Legal Information

For smooth scaling, the transformed() functions use code based on smooth scaling algorithm by Daniel M. Duley.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QImage::Format

The following image formats are available in CopperSpice.

Constant	Value	Description
`QImage::Format_Invalid`	`0`	The image is invalid.
`QImage::Format_Mono`	`1`	The image is stored using 1-bit per pixel. Bytes are packed with the most significant bit (MSB) first.
`QImage::Format_MonoLSB`	`2`	The image is stored using 1-bit per pixel. Bytes are packed with the less significant bit (LSB) first.
`QImage::Format_Indexed8`	`3`	The image is stored using 8-bit indexes into a colormap.
`QImage::Format_RGB32`	`4`	The image is stored using a 32-bit RGB format (0xffRRGGBB).
`QImage::Format_ARGB32`	`5`	The image is stored using a 32-bit ARGB format (0xAARRGGBB).
`QImage::Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied`	`6`	The image is stored using a premultiplied 32-bit ARGB format (0xAARRGGBB), i.e. the red, green, and blue channels are multiplied by the alpha component divided by 255. (If RR, GG, or BB has a higher value than the alpha channel, the results are undefined.) Certain operations, such as image composition using alpha blending, are faster using premultiplied ARGB32 than with plain ARGB32.
`QImage::Format_RGB16`	`7`	The image is stored using a 16-bit RGB format (5-6-5).
`QImage::Format_ARGB8565_Premultiplied`	`8`	The image is stored using a premultiplied 24-bit ARGB format (8-5-6-5).
`QImage::Format_RGB666`	`9`	The image is stored using a 24-bit RGB format (6-6-6). The unused most significant bits is always zero.
`QImage::Format_ARGB6666_Premultiplied`	`10`	The image is stored using a premultiplied 24-bit ARGB format (6-6-6-6).
`QImage::Format_RGB555`	`11`	The image is stored using a 16-bit RGB format (5-5-5). The unused most significant bit is always zero.
`QImage::Format_ARGB8555_Premultiplied`	`12`	The image is stored using a premultiplied 24-bit ARGB format (8-5-5-5).
`QImage::Format_RGB888`	`13`	The image is stored using a 24-bit RGB format (8-8-8).
`QImage::Format_RGB444`	`14`	The image is stored using a 16-bit RGB format (4-4-4). The unused bits are always zero.
`QImage::Format_ARGB4444_Premultiplied`	`15`	The image is stored using a premultiplied 16-bit ARGB format (4-4-4-4).
`QImage::Format_RGBX8888`	`16`	The image is stored using a 32-bit byte-ordered RGB(x) format (8-8-8-8). This is the same as the Format_RGBA8888 except alpha must always be 255.
`QImage::Format_RGBA8888`	`17`	The image is stored using a 32-bit byte-ordered RGBA format (8-8-8-8). Unlike ARGB32 this is a byte-ordered format, which means the 32bit encoding differs between big endian and little endian architectures, being respectively (0xRRGGBBAA) and (0xAABBGGRR). The order of the colors is the same on any architecture if read as bytes 0xRR,0xGG,0xBB,0xAA.

`QImage::Format_A2RGB30_Premultiplied`	`22`	The image is stored using a 32-bit premultiplied ARGB format (2-10-10-10).
`QImage::Format_Alpha8`	`23`	The image is stored using an 8-bit alpha only format.
`QImage::Format_Grayscale8`	`24`	The image is stored using an 8-bit grayscale format.

Note

Drawing into a QImage with QImage::Format_Indexed8 is not supported.
Do not render into ARGB32 images using QPainter. Using QImage::Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied is significantly faster.
Formats with more than 8 bits per color channel will only be processed by the raster engine using 8 bits per color.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QImage::QImage ( )

Constructs a null image.

See also: isNull()

QImage::QImage	(	const QSize &	size,
		Format	format
	)

Constructs an image with the given size and format. A null image is returned if memory can not be allocated.

Warning: This will create a QImage with uninitialized data. Call fill() to fill the image with an appropriate pixel value before drawing onto it with QPainter.

QImage::QImage	(	int	width,
		int	height,
		Format	format
	)

Constructs an image with the given width, height and format. A null image will be returned if memory can not be allocated.

Warning: This will create a QImage with uninitialized data. Call fill() to fill the image with an appropriate pixel value before drawing onto it with QPainter.

QImage::QImage	(	uchar *	data,
		int	width,
		int	height,
		Format	format,
		QImageCleanupFunction	cleanupFunction = `nullptr`,
		void *	cleanupInfo = `nullptr`
	)

Constructs an image with the given width, height and format, that uses an existing memory buffer, data. The width and height must be specified in pixels, data must be 32-bit aligned, and each scanline of data in the image must also be 32-bit aligned.

The buffer must remain valid throughout the life of the QImage and all copies that have not been modified or otherwise detached from the original buffer. The image does not delete the buffer at destruction. You can provide a function pointer cleanupFunction along with an extra pointer cleanupInfo that will be called when the last copy is destroyed.

If format is an indexed color format, the image color table is initially empty and must be sufficiently expanded with setColorCount() or setColorTable() before the image is used.

QImage::QImage	(	const uchar *	data,
		int	width,
		int	height,
		Format	format,
		QImageCleanupFunction	cleanupFunction = `nullptr`,
		void *	cleanupInfo = `nullptr`
	)

Constructs an image with the given width, height and format, that uses an existing read-only memory buffer, data. The width and height must be specified in pixels, data> must be 32-bit aligned, and each scanline of data in the image must also be 32-bit aligned.

The buffer must remain valid throughout the life of the QImage and all copies that have not been modified or otherwise detached from the original buffer. The image does not delete the buffer at destruction. You can provide a function pointer cleanupFunction along with an extra pointer cleanupInfo that will be called when the last copy is destroyed.

If format is an indexed color format, the image color table is initially empty and must be sufficiently expanded with setColorCount() or setColorTable() before the image is used.

Unlike the similar QImage constructor that takes a non-const data buffer, this version will never alter the contents of the buffer. For example, calling QImage::bits() will return a deep copy of the image, rather than the buffer passed to the constructor. This allows for the efficiency of constructing a QImage from raw data, without the possibility of the raw data being changed.

QImage::QImage	(	uchar *	data,
		int	width,
		int	height,
		int	bytesPerLine,
		Format	format,
		QImageCleanupFunction	cleanupFunction = `nullptr`,
		void *	cleanupInfo = `nullptr`
	)

Constructs an image with the given width, height and format, that uses an existing memory buffer, data. The width and height must be specified in pixels. The bytesPerLine specifies the number of bytes per line (stride).

The buffer must remain valid throughout the life of the QImage and all copies that have not been modified or otherwise detached from the original buffer. The image does not delete the buffer at destruction. You can provide a function pointer cleanupFunction along with an extra pointer cleanupInfo that will be called when the last copy is destroyed.

If format is an indexed color format, the image color table is initially empty and must be sufficiently expanded with setColorCount() or setColorTable() before the image is used.

QImage::QImage	(	const uchar *	data,
		int	width,
		int	height,
		int	bytesPerLine,
		Format	format,
		QImageCleanupFunction	cleanupFunction = `nullptr`,
		void *	cleanupInfo = `nullptr`
	)

Constructs an image with the given width, height and format, that uses an existing memory buffer, data. The width and height must be specified in pixels. The value for bytesPerLine specifies the number of bytes per line (stride).

The buffer must remain valid throughout the life of the QImage and all copies that have not been modified or otherwise detached from the original buffer. The image does not delete the buffer at destruction. You can provide a function pointer cleanupFunction along with an extra pointer cleanupInfo that will be called when the last copy is destroyed.

If format is an indexed color format, the image color table is initially empty and must be sufficiently expanded with setColorCount() or setColorTable() before the image is used.

Unlike the similar QImage constructor that takes a non-const data buffer, this version will never alter the contents of the buffer. For example, calling QImage::bits() will return a deep copy of the image, rather than the buffer passed to the constructor. This allows for the efficiency of constructing a QImage from raw data, without the possibility of the raw data being changed.

QImage::QImage	(	const QString &	fileName,
		const QString &	format = `QString()`
	)

explicit

Constructs an image and tries to load the image from the file with the given fileName.

The loader attempts to read the image using the specified format. If the format is not specified (which is the default), the loader probes the file for a header to guess the file format. If the loading of the image failed, this object is a null image.

The file name can either refer to an actual file on disk or to one of the application's embedded resources. Refer to the Resource System overview for details on how to embed images and other resource files in the application's executable.

See also: isNull()

QImage::QImage ( const char *const xpm[] )

explicit

Constructs an image from the given xpm image. Make sure that the image is a valid XPM image. Errors are silently ignored. It is possible to squeeze the XPM variable a little bit by using an unusual declaration.

The extra const makes the entire definition read only, which is slightly more efficient (for example, when the code is in a shared library) and able to be stored in ROM with the application.

static const char * const start_xpm[] = {
  "16 15 8 1",
  "a c #cec6bd",
};

QImage::QImage ( const QImage & other )

Copy constructs a new QImage from other.

See also: copy()

QImage::QImage ( QImage && other )

inline

Move constructs a new QImage from other.

See also: copy()

QImage::~QImage ( )

Destroys the image and cleans up.

Method Documentation

bool QImage::allGray ( ) const

Returns true if all the colors in the image are shades of gray (i.e. their red, green and blue components are equal), otherwise false. This method is slow for images without color table.

See also: isGrayscale()

QImage QImage::alphaChannel ( ) const

deprecated

Deprecated:: Returns the alpha channel of the image as a new grayscale QImage in which each pixel's red, green, and blue values are given the alpha value of the original image. The color depth of the returned image is 8-bit.

You can see an example of use of this function in QPixmap's alphaChannel(), which works in the same way as this function on QPixmaps.Most usecases for this function can be replaced with QPainter and using composition modes.

This is an expensive function.

int QImage::bitPlaneCount ( ) const

Returns the number of bit planes in the image.

The number of bit planes is the number of bits of color and transparency information for each pixel. This is different from (i.e. smaller than) the depth when the image format contains unused bits.

See also: depth(), format()

uchar * QImage::bits ( )

Returns a pointer to the first pixel data. This is equivalent to scanLine(0).

qImage uses implicit data sharing. This function performs a deep copy of the shared pixel data, thus ensuring that this QImage is the only one using the current return value.

See also: scanLine(), byteCount(), constBits()

const uchar * QImage::bits ( ) const

QImage uses implicit data sharing, but this function does not perform a deep copy of the shared pixel data, because the returned data is const.

int QImage::byteCount ( ) const

Returns the number of bytes occupied by the image data.

See also: bytesPerLine(), bits()

int QImage::bytesPerLine ( ) const

Returns the number of bytes per image scanline. This is equivalent to byteCount() / height().

See also: scanLine()

qint64 QImage::cacheKey ( ) const

Returns a number that identifies the contents of this QImage object. Distinct QImage objects can only have the same key if they refer to the same contents.

The key will change when the image is altered.

QRgb QImage::color ( int index ) const

Returns the color in the color table at index. The first color is at index 0. The colors in an image's color table are specified as ARGB quadruplets (QRgb). Use the qAlpha(), qRed(), qGreen(), and qBlue() functions to get the color value components.

See also: setColor(), pixelIndex()

int QImage::colorCount ( ) const

Returns the size of the color table for the image. Notice that colorCount() returns 0 for 32-bpp images because these images do not use color tables, but instead encode pixel values as ARGB quadruplets.

See also: setColorCount()

QVector< QRgb > QImage::colorTable ( ) const

Returns a list of the colors contained in the image's color table, or an empty list if the image does not have a color table

See also: setColorTable(), colorCount(), color()

const uchar * QImage::constBits ( ) const

Returns a pointer to the first pixel data. QImage uses implicit data sharing, but this function does not perform a deep copy of the shared pixel data, because the returned data is const.

See also: bits(), constScanLine()

const uchar * QImage::constScanLine ( int index ) const

Returns a pointer to the pixel data at the scanline with the given index. The first scanline is at index 0. The scanline data is aligned on a 32-bit boundary.

QImage uses implicit data sharing, but this function does not perform a deep copy of the shared pixel data, because the returned data is const.

QImage QImage::convertToFormat	(	Format	format,
		const QVector< QRgb > &	colorTable,
		Qt::ImageConversionFlags	flags = `Qt::AutoColor`
	)		const

Returns a copy of the image converted to the given format, using the specified colorTable. Conversion from 32 bit to 8 bit indexed is a slow operation and will use a straightforward nearest color approach, with no dithering.

QImage QImage::convertToFormat	(	Format	format,
		Qt::ImageConversionFlags	flags = `Qt::AutoColor`
	)		&&

inline

Returns a copy of the image in the given format. The specified image conversion flags control how the image data is handled during the conversion process.

QImage QImage::convertToFormat	(	Format	format,
		Qt::ImageConversionFlags	flags = `Qt::AutoColor`
	)		const &

inline

Returns a copy of the image in the given format. The specified image conversion flags control how the image data is handled during the conversion process.

QImage QImage::copy ( const QRect & rect = QRect() ) const

Returns a sub-area of the image as a new image. The returned image is copied from the position (rectangle.x(), rectangle.y()) in this image, and will always have the size of the given rect.

In areas beyond this image, pixels are set to 0. For 32-bit RGB images, this means black. For 32-bit ARGB images this means transparent black. For 8-bit images, this means the color with index 0 in the color table which can be anything. For 1-bit images, this means Qt::color0.

If the given rectangle is a null rectangle the entire image is copied.

QImage QImage::copy	(	int	x,
		int	y,
		int	width,
		int	height
	)		const

inline

The returned image is copied from the position (x, y) in this image, and will always have the given width and height. In areas beyond this image, pixels are set to 0.

QImage QImage::createAlphaMask ( Qt::ImageConversionFlags flags = Qt::AutoColor ) const

Builds and returns a 1-bpp mask from the alpha buffer in this image. Returns a null image if the image's format is QImage::Format_RGB32.

The flags argument is a bitwise-OR of the Qt::ImageConversionFlags, and controls the conversion process. Passing Qt::EmptyFlag for flags sets all the default options.

The returned image has little-endian bit order (i.e. the image's format is QImage::Format_MonoLSB), which you can convert to big-endian (QImage::Format_Mono) using the convertToFormat() function.

See also: createHeuristicMask()

QImage QImage::createHeuristicMask ( bool clipTight = true ) const

Creates and returns a 1-bpp heuristic mask for this image. If clipTight is true (the default) the mask is just large enough to cover the pixels. Otherwise the mask is larger than the data pixels.

The method works by selecting a color from one of the corners, then chipping away pixels of that color starting at all the edges. The four corners vote for which color is to be masked away. In case of a draw (this generally means that this function is not applicable to the image), the result is arbitrary.

The returned image has little-endian bit order (i.e. the image's format is QImage::Format_MonoLSB), which you can convert to big-endian (QImage::Format_Mono) using the convertToFormat() function.

This method disregards the alpha buffer.

See also: createAlphaMask()

QImage QImage::createMaskFromColor	(	QRgb	color,
		Qt::MaskMode	mode = `Qt::MaskInColor`
	)		const

Creates and returns a mask for this image based on the given color value. If the mode is MaskInColor (the default value), all pixels matching color will be opaque pixels in the mask. If mode is MaskOutColor, all pixels matching the given color will be transparent.

See also: createAlphaMask(), createHeuristicMask()

int QImage::depth ( ) const

Returns the depth of the image. The image depth is the number of bits used to store a single pixel, also called bits per pixel (bpp). The supported depths are 1, 8, 16, 24 and 32.

See also: bitPlaneCount(), convertToFormat()

qreal QImage::devicePixelRatio ( ) const

Returns the device pixel ratio for the image. This is the ratio between device pixels and device independent pixels. The default value is 1.0. Use this method when calculating layout geometry based on the image size.

QSize layoutSize = image.size() / image.devicePixelRatio();

See also: setDevicePixelRatio(), QImageReader

int QImage::dotsPerMeterX ( ) const

Returns the number of pixels that fit horizontally in a physical meter. Together with dotsPerMeterY(), this number defines the intended scale and aspect ratio of the image.

See also: setDotsPerMeterX()

int QImage::dotsPerMeterY ( ) const

Returns the number of pixels that fit vertically in a physical meter. Together with dotsPerMeterX(), this number defines the intended scale and aspect ratio of the image.

See also: setDotsPerMeterY()

void QImage::fill ( const QColor & color )

Fills the entire image with the given color.

If the depth of the image is 1, the image will be filled with 1 if color equals Qt::color1, otherwise it will be filled with 0.

If the depth of the image is 8, the image will be filled with the index corresponding the color in the color table if present, otherwise it will be filled with 0.

void QImage::fill ( Qt::GlobalColor color )

Fills the image with the given color, described as a standard global color.

void QImage::fill ( uint pixelValue )

Fills the entire image with the given pixelValue.

If the depth of this image is 1, only the lowest bit is used. If you say fill(0), fill(2), etc., the image is filled with 0s. If you say fill(1), fill(3), etc., the image is filled with 1s. If the depth is 8, the lowest 8 bits are used and if the depth is 16 the lowest 16 bits are used.

Note: QImage::pixel() returns the color of the pixel at the given coordinates while QColor::pixel() returns the pixel value of the underlying window system (essentially an index value), so normally you will want to use QImage::pixel() to use a color from an existing image or QColor::rgb() to use a specific color.

Format QImage::format ( ) const

Returns the format of the image.

QImage QImage::fromData	(	const QByteArray &	data,
		const QString &	format = `QString()`
	)

inlinestatic

Loads an image from the given data using the specified format.

QImage QImage::fromData	(	const uchar *	data,
		int	size,
		const QString &	format = `QString()`
	)

static

Constructs a QImage from the first size bytes of the given binary data. The loader attempts to read the image using the specified format. If format is not specified (which is the default), the loader probes the file for a header to guess the file format. binary data. The loader attempts to read the image, either using the optional image format specified or by determining the image format from the data.

If format is not specified (which is the default), the loader probes the file for a header to determine the file format. If format is specified, it must be one of the values returned by QImageReader::supportedImageFormats().

If the loading of the image fails, the image returned will be a null image.

See also: load(), save()

void QImage::invertPixels ( InvertMode mode = InvertRgb )

Inverts all pixel values in the image.

The given invert mode only have a meaning when the image's depth is 32. The default mode is InvertRgb, which leaves the alpha channel unchanged. If the mode is InvertRgba, the alpha bits are also inverted.

Inverting an 8-bit image means to replace all pixels using color index i with a pixel using color index 255 minus i. The same is the case for a 1-bit image. The color table is not changed.

bool QImage::isGrayscale ( ) const

For 32-bit images, this function is equivalent to allGray(). For 8-bpp images, this function returns true if color(i) is QRgb(i, i, i) for all indexes of the color table, otherwise returns false.

See also: allGray()

		Qt::TransformationMode	mode = `Qt::FastTransformation`
	)		const

Returns a copy of the image scaled to a rectangle defined by the given size according to the given aspectRatioMode and mode. If the given size is empty this method returns a null image.

aspectRatioMode == Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio: image is scaled to size

uchar * QImage::scanLine ( int index )

Returns a pointer to the pixel data at the scanline with the given index. The first scanline is at index 0. The scanline data is aligned on a 32-bit boundary.

Warning: If you are accessing 32-bpp image data, cast the returned pointer to QRgb* (QRgb has a 32-bit size) and use it to read/write the pixel value. You can not use the uchar* pointer directly, because the pixel format depends on the byte order on the underlying platform. Use qRed(), qGreen(), qBlue(), and qAlpha() to access the pixels.

See also: bytesPerLine(), bits(), constScanLine(), Pixel Manipulation

const uchar * QImage::scanLine ( int index ) const

Const version of scanLine().

int QImage::serialNumber ( ) const

inlinedeprecated

Deprecated:: Use cacheKey() instead.

Returns a number that identifies the contents of this QImage object. Distinct QImage objects can only have the same serial number if they refer to the same contents (but they do not have to).

The serial number does not necessarily change when the image is altered. This means that it may be dangerous to use it as a cache key.

See also: operator==()

void QImage::setAlphaChannel ( const QImage & alphaChannel )

deprecated

Deprecated:: Sets the alpha channel of this image to the given alphaChannel.

If alphaChannel is an 8 bit grayscale image, the intensity values are written into this buffer directly. Otherwise, alphaChannel is converted to 32 bit and the intensity of the RGB pixel values is used.

The image will be converted to the Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied format if the function succeeds. Use one of the composition modes in QPainter::CompositionMode instead.

This function is expensive.

See also: alphaChannel(), Image Formats

void QImage::setColor	(	int	index,
		QRgb	colorValue
	)

Sets the color at the given index in the color table, to the given to colorValue. The color value is an ARGB quadruplet. If index is outside the current size of the color table, it is expanded with setColorCount().

See also: color(), colorCount(), setColorTable()

void QImage::setColorCount ( int colorCount )

Resizes the color table to contain colorCount entries. If the color table is expanded, all the extra colors will be set to transparent (i.e qRgba(0, 0, 0, 0)). When the image is used, the color table must be large enough to have entries for all the pixel/index values present in the image, otherwise the results are undefined.

See also: colorCount(), colorTable(), setColor()

void QImage::setColorTable ( const QVector< QRgb > & colors )

Sets the color table used to translate color indexes to QRgb values, to the specified colors. When the image is used, the color table must be large enough to have entries for all the pixel/index values present in the image, otherwise the results are undefined.

See also: colorTable(), setColor()

void QImage::setDevicePixelRatio ( qreal scaleFactor )

Sets the device pixel ratio for the image. This is the ratio between image pixels and device independent pixels. The default scaleFactor is 1.0. Setting it to something else has the following two effects.

QPainters that are opened on the image will be scaled. For example, painting on a 200x200 image if with a ratio of 2.0 will result in effective (device-independent) painting bounds of 100x100.

Layout geometry which is based on the image size will take the ratio into account. The effect is to display the image as a high-DPI image rather than a large image.

See also: devicePixelRatio()

void QImage::setDotsPerMeterX ( int x )

Sets the number of pixels that fit horizontally in a physical meter, to x.

Together with dotsPerMeterY(), this number defines the intended scale and aspect ratio of the image, and determines the scale at which QPainter will draw graphics on the image. It does not change the scale or aspect ratio of the image when it is rendered on other paint devices.

See also: dotsPerMeterX()

void QImage::setDotsPerMeterY ( int y )

Sets the number of pixels that fit vertically in a physical meter, to y.

Together with dotsPerMeterX(), this number defines the intended scale and aspect ratio of the image, and determines the scale at which QPainter will draw graphics on the image. It does not change the scale or aspect ratio of the image when it is rendered on other paint devices.

See also: dotsPerMeterY()

void QImage::setOffset ( const QPoint & offset )

Sets the number of pixels by which the image is intended to be offset by when positioning relative to other images, to offset.

See also: offset()

void QImage::setPixel	(	const QPoint &	pos,
		uint	index_or_rgb
	)

inline

Sets the pixel index or color at the given pos to index_or_rgb. If the image's format is either monochrome or 8-bit, the given index_or_rgb value must be an index in the image's color table, otherwise the parameter must be a QRgb value. If position is not a valid coordinate pair in the image, or if index_or_rgb >= colorCount() in the case of monochrome and 8-bit images, the result is undefined.

See also: pixel()

void QImage::setPixel	(	int	x,
		int	y,
		uint	index_or_rgb
	)

Sets the pixel index or color at (x, y) to index_or_rgb.

See also: pixelColor(), pixel(), bits(), scanLine(), Pixel Manipulation

void QImage::setPixelColor	(	int	x,
		int	y,
		const QColor &	color
	)

Sets the pixel color at (x, y) to color.

void QImage::setText	(	const QString &	key,
		const QString &	text
	)

Sets the image text for the given key to the specified text.

To store a single text block such as a comment or description, you can either pass an empty key or use a generic key like "Description". The image text is embedded into the image data when you call save() or QImageWriter::write().

Not all image formats support embedded text. You can find out if a specific image or format supports embedding text by using QImageWriter::supportsOption().

QImageWriter writer;
writer.setFormat("png");
 
if (writer.supportsOption(QImageIOHandler::Description)) {
   qDebug() << "PNG supports embedded text";
}
