#include <QPainter>
Inherited by Q3Painter and QStylePainter.
Note: All the functions in this class are reentrant, except setRedirected(), redirected(), and restoreRedirected().
The QPainter class performs low-level painting on widgets and other paint devices.
QPainter provides highly optimized functions to do most of the drawing GUI programs require. It can draw everything from simple lines to complex shapes like pies and chords. It can also draw aligned text and pixmaps. Normally, it draws in a "natural" coordinate system, but it can also do view and world transformation. QPainter can operate on any object that inherits the QPaintDevice class.
The common use of QPainter is inside a widget's paint event: Construct and customize (e.g. set the pen or the brush) the painter. Then draw. Remember to destroy the QPainter object after drawing. For example:
void SimpleExampleWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *)
{
QPainter painter(this);
painter.setPen(Qt::blue);
painter.setFont(QFont("Arial", 30));
painter.drawText(rect(), Qt::AlignCenter, "Qt");
}
The core functionality of QPainter is drawing, but the class also provide several functions that allows you to customize QPainter's settings and its rendering quality, and others that enable clipping. In addition you can control how different shapes are merged together by specifying the painter's composition mode.
The isActive() function indicates whether the painter is active. A painter is activated by the begin() function and the constructor that takes a QPaintDevice argument. The end() function, and the destructor, deactivates it.
Together with the QPaintDevice and QPaintEngine classes, QPainter form the basis for Qt's paint system. QPainter is the class used to perform drawing operations. QPaintDevice represents a device that can be painted on using a QPainter. QPaintEngine provides the interface that the painter uses to draw onto different types of devices. If the painter is active, device() returns the paint device on which the painter paints, and paintEngine() returns the paint engine that the painter is currently operating on. For more information, see The Paint System documentation.
Sometimes it is desirable to make someone else paint on an unusual QPaintDevice. QPainter supports a static function to do this, setRedirected().
Warning: When the paintdevice is a widget, QPainter can only be used inside a paintEvent() function or in a function called by paintEvent(); that is unless the Qt::WA_PaintOutsidePaintEvent widget attribute is set. On Mac OS X and Windows, you can only paint in a paintEvent() function regardless of this attribute's setting.
There are several settings that you can customize to make QPainter draw according to your preferences:
Note that some of these settings mirror settings in some paint devices, e.g. QWidget::font(). The QPainter::begin() function (or equivalently the QPainter constructor) copies these attributes from the paint device.
You can at any time save the QPainter's state by calling the save() function which saves all the available settings on an internal stack. The restore() function pops them back.
QPainter provides functions to draw most primitives: drawPoint(), drawPoints(), drawLine(), drawRect(), drawRoundedRect(), drawEllipse(), drawArc(), drawPie(), drawChord(), drawPolyline(), drawPolygon(), drawConvexPolygon() and drawCubicBezier(). The two convenience functions, drawRects() and drawLines(), draw the given number of rectangles or lines in the given array of QRects or QLines using the current pen and brush.
The QPainter class also provides the fillRect() function which fills the given QRect, with the given QBrush, and the eraseRect() function that erases the area inside the given rectangle.
All of these functions have both integer and floating point versions.
 | Basic Drawing Example The Basic Drawing example shows how to display basic graphics primitives in a variety of styles using the QPainter class. |
If you need to draw a complex shape, especially if you need to do so repeatedly, consider creating a QPainterPath and drawing it using drawPath().
| Painter Paths example The QPainterPath class provides a container for painting operations, enabling graphical shapes to be constructed and reused. The Painter Paths example shows how painter paths can be used to build complex shapes for rendering. |  |
QPainter also provides the fillPath() function which fills the given QPainterPath with the given QBrush, and the strokePath() function that draws the outline of the given path (i.e. strokes the path).
See also the Vector Deformation demo which shows how to use advanced vector techniques to draw text using a QPainterPath, the Gradients demo which shows the different types of gradients that are available in Qt, and the Path Stroking demo which shows Qt's built-in dash patterns and shows how custom patterns can be used to extend the range of available patterns.

There are functions to draw pixmaps/images, namely drawPixmap(), drawImage() and drawTiledPixmap(). Both drawPixmap() and drawImage() produce the same result, except that drawPixmap() is faster on-screen while drawImage() may be faster on a QPrinter or other devices.
Text drawing is done using drawText(). When you need fine-grained positioning, boundingRect() tells you where a given drawText() command will draw.
There is a drawPicture() function that draws the contents of an entire QPicture. The drawPicture() function is the only function that disregards all the painter's settings as QPicture has its own settings.
To get the optimal rendering result using QPainter, you should use the platform independent QImage as paint device; i.e. using QImage will ensure that the result has an identical pixel representation on any platform.
The QPainter class also provides a means of controlling the rendering quality through its RenderHint enum and the support for floating point precision: All the functions for drawing primitives has a floating point version. These are often used in combination with the QPainter::Antialiasing render hint.
 | Concentric Circles Example The Concentric Circles example shows the improved rendering quality that can be obtained using floating point precision and anti-aliasing when drawing custom widgets. The application's main window displays several widgets which are drawn using the various combinations of precision and anti-aliasing. |
The RenderHint enum specifies flags to QPainter that may or may not be respected by any given engine. QPainter::Antialiasing indicates that the engine should antialias edges of primitives if possible, QPainter::TextAntialiasing indicates that the engine should antialias text if possible, and the QPainter::SmoothPixmapTransform indicates that the engine should use a smooth pixmap transformation algorithm. HighQualityAntialiasing is an OpenGL-specific rendering hint indicating that the engine should use fragment programs and offscreen rendering for antialiasing.
The renderHints() function returns a flag that specifies the rendering hints that are set for this painter. Use the setRenderHint() function to set or clear the currently set RenderHints.
Normally, the QPainter operates on the device's own coordinate system (usually pixels), but QPainter has good support for coordinate transformations.
 |  |  |  |
| nop | rotate() | scale() | translate() |
|---|
The most commonly used transformations are scaling, rotation, translation and shearing. Use the scale() function to scale the coordinate system by a given offset, the rotate() function to rotate it clockwise and translate() to translate it (i.e. adding a given offset to the points). You can also twist the coordinate system around the origin using the shear() function. See the Affine Transformations demo for a visualization of a sheared coordinate system.
See also the Transformations example which shows how transformations influence the way that QPainter renders graphics primitives. In particular it shows how the order of transformations affects the result.
| Affine Transformations Demo The Affine Transformations demo show Qt's ability to perform affine transformations on painting operations. The demo also allows the user to experiment with the transformation operations and see the results immediately. |  |
All the tranformation operations operate on the transformation worldMatrix(). A matrix transforms a point in the plane to another point. For more information about the transformation matrix, see the The Coordinate System and QMatrix documentation.
The setWorldMatrix() function can replace or add to the currently set worldMatrix(). The resetMatrix() function resets any transformations that were made using translate(), scale(), shear(), rotate(), setWorldMatrix(), setViewport() and setWindow() functions. The deviceMatrix() returns the matrix that transforms from logical coordinates to device coordinates of the platform dependent paint device. The latter function is only needed when using platform painting commands on the platform dependent handle, and the platform does not do transformations nativly.
When drawing with QPainter, we specify points using logical coordinates which then are converted into the physical coordinates of the paint device. The mapping of the logical coordinates to the physical coordinates are handled by QPainter's combinedMatrix(), a combination of viewport() and window() and worldMatrix(). The viewport() represents the physical coordinates specifying an arbitrary rectangle, the window() describes the same rectangle in logical coordinates, and the worldMatrix() is identical with the transformation matrix.
See also The Coordinate System documentation.
QPainter can clip any drawing operation to a rectangle, a region, or a vector path. The current clip is available using the functions clipRegion() and clipPath(). Whether paths or regions are preferred (faster) depends on the underlying paintEngine(). For example, the QImage paint engine prefers paths while the X11 paint engine prefers regions. Setting a clip is done in the painters logical coordinates.
After QPainter's clipping, the paint device may also clip. For example, most widgets clip away the pixels used by child widgets, and most printers clip away an area near the edges of the paper. This additional clipping is not reflected by the return value of clipRegion() or hasClipping().
QPainter provides the CompositionMode enum which defines the Porter-Duff rules for digital image compositing; it describes a model for combining the pixels in one image, the source, with the pixels in another image, the destination.
The two most common forms of composition are Source and SourceOver. Source is used to draw opaque objects onto a paint device. In this mode, each pixel in the source replaces the corresponding pixel in the destination. In SourceOver composition mode, the source object is transparent and is drawn on top of the destination.
Note that composition transformation operates pixelwise. For that reason, there is a difference between using the grahic primitive itself and its bounding rectangle: The bounding rect contains pixels with alpha == 0 (i.e the pixels surrounding the primitive). These pixels will overwrite the other image's pixels, affectively clearing those, while the primitive only overwrites its own area.
 | Composition Modes Demo The Composition Modes demo, available in Qt's demo directory, allows you to experiment with the various composition modes and see the results immediately. |
If you are using coordinates with Qt's raster-based paint engine, it is important to note that coordinates greater than +/- 215 are not valid due to the use of short int in the implementation.
See also QPaintDevice, QPaintEngine, QtSvg Module, and Basic Drawing Example.
Defines the Porter-Duff rules for digital image compositing. Composition modes are used to specify how the pixels in one image, the source, are merged with the pixel in another image, the destination.
The most common type is SourceOver (often referred to as just alpha blending) where the source pixel is blended on top of the destination pixel in such a way that the alpha component of the source defines the translucency of the pixel.
When the paint device is a QImage, the image format must be set to Format_ARGB32Premultiplied or Format_ARGB32 for the composition modes to have any effect. For performance the premultiplied version is the preferred format.
When a composition mode is set it applies to all painting operator, pens, brushes, gradients and pixmap/image drawing.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QPainter::CompositionMode_SourceOver | 0 | This is the default mode. The alpha of the source is used to blend the pixel on top of the destination. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_DestinationOver | 1 | The alpha of the destination is used to blend it on top of the source pixels. This mode is the inverse of CompositionMode_SourceOver. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_Clear | 2 | The pixels in the destination are cleared (set to fully transparent) independent of the source. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_Source | 3 | The output is the source pixel. (This means a basic copy operation and is identical to SourceOver when the source pixel is opaque). |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_Destination | 4 | The output is the destination pixel. This means that the blending has no effect. This mode is the inverse of CompositionMode_Source. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_SourceIn | 5 | The output is the source, where the alpha is reduced by that of the destination. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_DestinationIn | 6 | The output is the destination, where the alpha is reduced by that of the source. This mode is the inverse of CompositionMode_SourceIn. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_SourceOut | 7 | The output is the source, where the alpha is reduced by the inverse of destination. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_DestinationOut | 8 | The output is the destination, where the alpha is reduced by the inverse of the source. This mode is the inverse of CompositionMode_SourceOut. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_SourceAtop | 9 | The source pixel is blended on top of the destination, with the alpha of the source pixel reduced by the alpha of the destination pixel. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_DestinationAtop | 10 | The destination pixel is blended on top of the source, with the alpha of the destination pixel is reduced by the alpha of the destination pixel. This mode is the inverse of CompositionMode_SourceAtop. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_Xor | 11 | The source, whose alpha is reduced with the inverse of the destination alpha, is merged with the destination, whose alpha is reduced by the inverse of the source alpha. CompositionMode_Xor is not the same as the bitwise Xor. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_Plus | 12 | Both the alpha and color of the source and destination pixels are added together. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_Multiply | 13 | The output is the source color multiplied by the destination. Multiplying a color with white leaves the color unchanged, while multiplying a color with black produces black. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_Screen | 14 | The source and destination colors are inverted and then multiplied. Screening a color with white produces white, whereas screening a color with black leaves the color unchanged. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_Overlay | 15 | Multiplies or screens the colors depending on the destination color. The destination color is mixed with the source color to reflect the lightness or darkness of the destination. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_Darken | 16 | The darker of the source and destination colors is selected. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_Lighten | 17 | The lighter of the source and destination colors is selected. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_ColorDodge | 18 | The destination color is brightened to reflect the source color. A black source color leaves the destination color unchanged. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_ColorBurn | 19 | The destination color is darkened to reflect the source color. A white source color leaves the destination color unchanged. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_HardLight | 20 | Multiplies or screens the colors depending on the source color. A light source color will lighten the destination color, whereas a dark source color will darken the destination color. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_SoftLight | 21 | Darkens or lightens the colors depending on the source color. Similar to CompositionMode_HardLight. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_Difference | 22 | Subtracts the darker of the colors from the lighter. Painting with white inverts the destination color, whereas painting with black leaves the destination color unchanged. |
| QPainter::CompositionMode_Exclusion | 23 | Similar to CompositionMode_Difference, but with a lower contrast. Painting with white inverts the destination color, whereas painting with black leaves the destination color unchanged. |

Renderhints are used to specify flags to QPainter that may or may not be respected by any given engine.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QPainter::Antialiasing | 0x01 | Indicates that the engine should antialias edges of primitives if possible. |
| QPainter::TextAntialiasing | 0x02 | Indicates that the engine should antialias text if possible. |
| QPainter::SmoothPixmapTransform | 0x04 | Indicates that the engine should use a smooth pixmap transformation algorithm (such as bilinear) rather than nearest neighbor. |
| QPainter::HighQualityAntialiasing | 0x08 | An OpenGL-specific rendering hint indicating that the engine should use fragment programs and offscreen rendering for antialiasing. |
| QPainter::NonCosmeticDefaultPen | 0x10 | The engine should interpret pens with a width of 0 (which otherwise enables QPen::isCosmetic()) as being a non-cosmetic pen with a width of 1. |
The RenderHints type is a typedef for QFlags<RenderHint>. It stores an OR combination of RenderHint values.
See also renderHints(), setRenderHint(), Rendering Quality, and Concentric Circles Example.
Constructs a painter.
Constructs a painter that begins painting the paint device immediately.
This constructor is convenient for short-lived painters, e.g. in a QWidget::paintEvent() and should be used only once. The constructor calls begin() for you and the QPainter destructor automatically calls end().
Here's an example using begin() and end():
void MyWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *)
{
QPainter p;
p.begin(this);
p.drawLine(...); // drawing code
p.end();
}
The same example using this constructor:
void MyWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *)
{
QPainter p(this);
p.drawLine(...); // drawing code
}
Since the constructor cannot provide feedback when the initialization of the painter failed you should rather use begin() and end() to paint on external devices, e.g. printers.
Destroys the painter.
Returns the current background brush.
See also setBackground() and Settings.
Returns the current background mode.
See also setBackgroundMode() and Settings.
Begins painting the paint device and returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.
Notice that all painter settings (setPen(), setBrush() etc.) are reset to default values when begin() is called.
The errors that can occur are serious problems, such as these:
painter->begin(0); // impossible - paint device cannot be 0 QPixmap image(0, 0); painter->begin(&image); // impossible - image.isNull() == true; painter->begin(myWidget); painter2->begin(myWidget); // impossible - only one painter at a time
Note that most of the time, you can use one of the constructors instead of begin(), and that end() is automatically done at destruction.
Warning: A paint device can only be painted by one painter at a time.
See also end() and QPainter().
Returns the bounding rectangle of the text as it will appear when drawn inside the given rectangle with the specified flags using the currently set font(); i.e the function tells you where the drawText() function will draw when given the same arguments.
If the text does not fit within the given rectangle using the specified flags, the function returns the required rectangle.
The flags argument is a bitwise OR of the following flags:
If several of the horizontal or several of the vertical alignment flags are set, the resulting alignment is undefined.
See also drawText(), Qt::Alignment, and Qt::TextFlag.
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.
Returns the bounding rectangle of the text as it will appear when drawn inside the given rectangle with the specified flags using the currently set font().
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

Returns the paint device on which this painter is currently painting, or 0 if the painter is not active.
See also isActive().
Returns the matrix that transforms from logical coordinates to device coordinates of the platform dependent paint device.
Note: It is advisable to use deviceTransform() instead of this function to preserve the properties of perspective transformations.

Draws the arc defined by the given rectangle, startAngle and spanAngle.
The startAngle and spanAngle must be specified in 1/16th of a degree, i.e. a full circle equals 5760 (16 * 360). Positive values for the angles mean counter-clockwise while negative values mean the clockwise direction. Zero degrees is at the 3 o'clock position.

See also compositionMode().
Sets the painter's font to the given font.
This font is used by subsequent drawText() functions. The text color is the same as the pen color.
If you set a font that isn't available, Qt finds a close match. font() will return what you set using setFont() and fontInfo() returns the font actually being used (which may be the same).
See also font(), drawText(), and Settings.
Sets the layout direction used by the painter when drawing text, to the specified direction.
See also layoutDirection(), drawText(), and Settings.

In general, you'll probably find that calling QPixmap::grabWidget() or QPixmap::grabWindow() is an easier solution.
Note: This function is thread-safe.
See also redirected() and restoreRedirected().
Sets the given render hint on the painter if on is true; otherwise clears the render hint.
See also setRenderHints(), renderHints(), and Rendering Quality.
Sets the given render hints on the painter if on is true; otherwise clears the render hints.

Sets the painter's window to the rectangle beginning at (x, y) and the given width and height.
Sets the transformation matrix to matrix and enables transformations.
Note: It is advisable to use setWorldTransform() instead of this function to preserve the properties of perspective transformations.
If combine is true, then matrix is combined with the current transformation matrix; otherwise matrix replaces the current transformation matrix.
If matrix is the identity matrix and combine is false, this function calls setWorldMatrixEnabled(false). (The identity matrix is the matrix where QMatrix::m11() and QMatrix::m22() are 1.0 and the rest are 0.0.)
The following functions can transform the coordinate system without using a QMatrix:
They operate on the painter's worldMatrix() and are implemented like this:
void QPainter::rotate(qreal angle)
{
QMatrix matrix;
matrix.rotate(angle);
setWorldMatrix(matrix, true);
}
Note that when using setWorldMatrix() function you should always have combine be true when you are drawing into a QPicture. Otherwise it may not be possible to replay the picture with additional transformations; using the translate(), scale(), etc. convenience functions is safe.
For more information about the coordinate system, transformations and window-viewport conversion, see The Coordinate System documentation.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also worldMatrixEnabled() and QMatrix.
Enables transformations if enable is true, or disables transformations if enable is false. The world transformation matrix is not changed.
