Detailed Description

The QPointArray class provides an array of points.

The QPointArray is an array of QPoint objects. In addition to the functions provided by QArray, QPointArray provides some point-specific functions.

For convenient reading and writing of the point data: setPoints(), putPoints(), point(), and setPoint().

For geometry operations: boundingRect() and translate(). There is also a QWMatrix::map() function for more general transformation of QPointArrays.

QPointArray is used by QPainter::drawLineSegments(), QPainter::drawPolyline(), QPainter::drawPolygon() and QPainter::drawQuadBezier(), among other things.

Note that since this class is a QArray, it is explicitly shared and works with shallow copies by default.

\mustquote

Transformations used in QPointArray are based on parelarc.c from Graphics Gems III VanAken / Simar, "A Parametric Elliptical Arc Algorithm"

Member Function Documentation

QPointArray::QPointArray ()

Constructs a null point array.

See also isNull().

QPointArray::QPointArray ( int size )

Constructs a point array with room for size points. Makes a null array if size == 0.

See also resize() and isNull().

QPointArray::QPointArray ( const QPointArray & a )

Constructs a shallow copy of the point array a.

See also copy().

QPointArray::QPointArray ( const QRect & r, bool closed = FALSE )

Constructs a point array from the rectangle r.

If closed is FALSE, then the point array just contains the following four points in the listed order: r.topLeft(), r.topRight(), r.bottomRight() and r.bottomLeft().

If closed is TRUE, then a fifth point is set to r.topLeft().

QPointArray::QPointArray ( int nPoints, const QCOORD * points )

Constructs a point array with nPoints points, taken from the points array.

Equivalent to setPoints(nPoints,points).

QPointArray::~QPointArray ()

Destructs the point array.

QRect QPointArray::boundingRect () const

Returns the bounding rectangle of the points in the array, or QRect(0,0,0,0) if the array is empty.

QPointArray QPointArray::copy () const

Creates a deep copy of the array.

void QPointArray::makeArc ( int x, int y, int w, int h, int a1, int a2 )

Sets the points of the array to those describing an arc of an ellipse with size w by h and position (x, y ), starting from angle a1, spanning a2. The resulting array has sufficient resolution for pixel accuracy (see the overloaded function which takes an additional QWMatrix parameter).

Angles are specified in 16ths of a degree, i.e. a full circle equals 5760 (16*360). Positive values mean counter-clockwise while negative values mean clockwise direction. Zero degrees is at the 3 o'clock position.

void QPointArray::makeArc ( int x, int y, int w, int h, int a1, int a2, const QWMatrix & xf )

Sets the points of the array to those describing an arc of an ellipse with size w by h and position (x, y ), starting from angle a1, spanning a2, transformed by the matrix xf. The resulting array has sufficient resolution for pixel accuracy.

Angles are specified in 16ths of a degree, i.e. a full circle equals 5760 (16*360). Positive values mean counter-clockwise while negative values mean clockwise direction. Zero degrees is at the 3 o'clock position.

void QPointArray::makeEllipse ( int xx, int yy, int w, int h )

Sets the points of the array to those describing an ellipse with size w by h and position (x, y ).

The returned array has sufficient resolution for use as pixels.

QPointArray & QPointArray::operator= ( const QPointArray & a )

Assigns a shallow copy of a to this point array and returns a reference to this point array.

Equivalent to assign( a ).

See also copy().

void QPointArray::point ( uint index, int * x, int * y ) const

Returns the point at position index in the array in *x and *y.

QPoint QPointArray::point ( uint index ) const

Returns the point at position index in the array.

bool QPointArray::putPoints ( int index, int nPoints, const QCOORD * points )

Copies nPoints points from the points array into this point array. Will resize this point array if index+nPoints exceeds the size of the array.

Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE if the array could not be resized (typcailly due to lack of memory).

The example code creates an array with three points: (1,2), (3,4) and (5,6): 

    QPointArray a( 1 );
    a[0] = QPoint( 1, 2 );
    static QCOORD points[] = { 3,4, 5,6 };
    a.putPoints( 1, 2, points );

This function differs from setPoints() in that it does not resize the array unless the array size is exceeded.

See also resize() and setPoints().

bool QPointArray::putPoints ( int index, int nPoints, int firstx, int firsty, ... )

Copies nPoints points from the variable argument list into this point array. Will resize this point array if index+nPoints exceeds the size of the array.

Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE if the array could not be resized (typically due to lack of memory).

The example code creates an array with two points (1,2), (3,4) and (5,6): 

    QPointArray a( 1 );
    a[0] = QPoint( 1, 2 );
    a.putPoints( 1, 2, 3,4, 5,6 );

This function differs from setPoints() in that it does not resize the array unless the array size is exceeded.

See also resize() and setPoints().

QPointArray QPointArray::quadBezier () const

Returns the Bezier points for the four control points in this array.

void QPointArray::setPoint ( uint index, int x, int y )

Sets the point at position index in the array to (x,y).

void QPointArray::setPoint ( uint i, const QPoint & p )

Equivalent to setPoint( i, p.x(), p.y() ).

bool QPointArray::setPoints ( int nPoints, const QCOORD * points )

Resizes the array to nPoints and sets the points in the array to the values taken from points.

Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE if the array could not be resized (normally due to lack of memory).

The example code creates an array with two points (1,2) and (3,4): 

    static QCOORD points[] = { 1,2, 3,4 };
    QPointArray a;
    a.setPoints( 2, points );

See also resize() and putPoints().

bool QPointArray::setPoints ( int nPoints, int firstx, int firsty, ... )

Resizes the array to nPoints and sets the points in the array to the values taken from the variable argument list.

Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE if the array could not be resized (typically due to lack of memory).

The example code creates an array with two points (1,2) and (3,4): 

    QPointArray a;
    a.setPoints( 2, 1,2, 3,4 );

See also resize() and putPoints().

void QPointArray::translate ( int dx, int dy )

Translates all points in the array (dx,dy).
