objects. + +<p> + + + + +<p> The TQCanvas class manages its 2D graphic area and all the canvas +items the area contains. The canvas has no visual appearance of +its own. Instead, it is displayed on screen using a <a href="qcanvasview.html">TQCanvasView</a>. +Multiple TQCanvasView widgets may be associated with a canvas to +provide multiple views of the same canvas. +<p> The canvas is optimized for large numbers of items, particularly +where only a small percentage of the items change at any +one time. If the entire display changes very frequently, you should +consider using your own custom <a href="qscrollview.html">TQScrollView</a> subclass. +<p> TQt provides a rich +set of canvas item classes, e.g. <a href="qcanvasellipse.html">TQCanvasEllipse</a>, <a href="qcanvasline.html">TQCanvasLine</a>, +<a href="qcanvaspolygon.html">TQCanvasPolygon</a>, <a href="qcanvaspolygonalitem.html">TQCanvasPolygonalItem</a>, <a href="qcanvasrectangle.html">TQCanvasRectangle</a>, <a href="qcanvasspline.html">TQCanvasSpline</a>, +<a href="qcanvassprite.html">TQCanvasSprite</a> and <a href="qcanvastext.html">TQCanvasText</a>. You can subclass to create your own +canvas items; TQCanvasPolygonalItem is the most common base class used +for this purpose. +<p> Items appear on the canvas after their <a href="qcanvasitem.html#show">show()</a> function has been called (or <a href="qcanvasitem.html#setVisible">setVisible(TRUE)</a>), and <em>after</em> +<a href="#update">update</a>() has been called. The canvas only shows items that are +<a href="qcanvasitem.html#setVisible">visible</a>, and then only if +<a href="#update">update</a>() is called. (By default the canvas is white and so are +canvas items, so if nothing appears try changing colors.) +<p> If you created the canvas without passing a width and height to +the constructor you must also call <a href="#resize">resize</a>(). +<p> Although a canvas may appear to be similar to a widget with child +widgets, there are several notable differences: +<p> <ul> +<li> Canvas items are usually much faster to manipulate and redraw than +child widgets, with the speed advantage becoming especially great when +there are <em>many</em> canvas items and non-rectangular items. In most +situations canvas items are also a lot more memory efficient than child +widgets. +<p> <li> It's easy to detect overlapping items (collision detection). +<p> <li> The canvas can be larger than a widget. A million-by-million canvas +is perfectly possible. At such a size a widget might be very +inefficient, and some window systems might not support it at all, +whereas TQCanvas scales well. Even with a billion pixels and a million +items, finding a particular canvas item, detecting collisions, etc., +is still fast (though the memory consumption may be prohibitive +at such extremes). +<p> <li> Two or more <a href="qcanvasview.html">TQCanvasView</a> objects can view the same canvas. +<p> <li> An arbitrary <a href="qwmatrix.html#TransformationMode">transformation matrix</a> can be set on each TQCanvasView +which makes it easy to zoom, rotate or shear the viewed canvas. +<p> <li> Widgets provide a lot more functionality, such as input (<a href="qkeyevent.html">TQKeyEvent</a>, +<a href="qmouseevent.html">TQMouseEvent</a> etc.) and layout management (<a href="qgridlayout.html">TQGridLayout</a> etc.). +<p> </ul> +<p> A canvas consists of a background, a number of canvas items organized by +x, y and z coordinates, and a foreground. A canvas item's z coordinate +can be treated as a layer number -- canvas items with a higher z +coordinate appear in front of canvas items with a lower z coordinate. +<p> The background is white by default, but can be set to a different color +using <a href="#setBackgroundColor">setBackgroundColor</a>(), or to a repeated pixmap using +<a href="#setBackgroundPixmap">setBackgroundPixmap</a>() or to a mosaic of smaller pixmaps using +<a href="#setTiles">setTiles</a>(). Individual tiles can be set with <a href="#setTile">setTile</a>(). There +are corresponding get functions, e.g. <a href="#backgroundColor">backgroundColor</a>() and +<a href="#backgroundPixmap">backgroundPixmap</a>(). +<p> Note that TQCanvas does not inherit from <a href="qwidget.html">TQWidget</a>, even though it has some +functions which provide the same functionality as those in TQWidget. One +of these is setBackgroundPixmap(); some others are <a href="#resize">resize</a>(), <a href="#size">size</a>(), +<a href="#width">width</a>() and <a href="#height">height</a>(). <a href="qcanvasview.html">TQCanvasView</a> is the widget used to display a +canvas on the screen. +<p> Canvas items are added to a canvas by constructing them and passing the +canvas to the canvas item's constructor. An item can be moved to a +different canvas using <a href="qcanvasitem.html#setCanvas">TQCanvasItem::setCanvas</a>(). +<p> Canvas items are movable (and in the case of TQCanvasSprites, animated) +objects that inherit <a href="qcanvasitem.html">TQCanvasItem</a>. Each canvas item has a position on the +canvas (x, y coordinates) and a height (z coordinate), all of which are +held as floating-point numbers. Moving canvas items also have x and y +velocities. It's possible for a canvas item to be outside the canvas +(for example <a href="qcanvasitem.html#x">TQCanvasItem::x</a>() is greater than width()). When a canvas +item is off the canvas, <a href="#onCanvas">onCanvas</a>() returns FALSE and the canvas +disregards the item. (Canvas items off the canvas do not slow down any +of the common operations on the canvas.) +<p> Canvas items can be moved with <a href="qcanvasitem.html#move">TQCanvasItem::move</a>(). The <a href="#advance">advance</a>() +function moves all <a href="qcanvasitem.html#animated">TQCanvasItem::animated</a>() canvas items and +<a href="#setAdvancePeriod">setAdvancePeriod</a>() makes TQCanvas move them automatically on a periodic +basis. In the context of the TQCanvas classes, to `animate' a canvas item +is to set it in motion, i.e. using <a href="qcanvasitem.html#setVelocity">TQCanvasItem::setVelocity</a>(). Animation +of a canvas item itself, i.e. items which change over time, is enabled +by calling <a href="qcanvassprite.html#setFrameAnimation">TQCanvasSprite::setFrameAnimation</a>(), or more generally by +subclassing and reimplementing <a href="qcanvasitem.html#advance">TQCanvasItem::advance</a>(). To detect collisions +use one of the <a href="qcanvasitem.html#collisions">TQCanvasItem::collisions</a>() functions. +<p> The changed parts of the canvas are redrawn (if they are visible in a +canvas view) whenever <a href="#update">update</a>() is called. You can either call update() +manually after having changed the contents of the canvas, or force +periodic updates using <a href="#setUpdatePeriod">setUpdatePeriod</a>(). If you have moving objects on +the canvas, you must call <a href="#advance">advance</a>() every time the objects should +move one step further. Periodic calls to advance() can be forced using +<a href="#setAdvancePeriod">setAdvancePeriod</a>(). The advance() function will call +TQCanvasItem::advance() on every item that is <a href="qcanvasitem.html#animated">animated</a> and trigger an update of the +affected areas afterwards. (A canvas item that is `animated' is simply +a canvas item that is in motion.) +<p> TQCanvas organizes its canvas items into <em>chunks</em>; these are areas on +the canvas that are used to speed up most operations. Many operations +start by eliminating most chunks (i.e. those which haven't changed) +and then process only the canvas items that are in the few interesting +(i.e. changed) chunks. A valid chunk, <a href="#validChunk">validChunk</a>(), is one which is on +the canvas. +<p> The chunk size is a key factor to TQCanvas's speed: if there are too many +chunks, the speed benefit of grouping canvas items into chunks is +reduced. If the chunks are too large, it takes too long to process each +one. The TQCanvas constructor tries to pick a suitable size, but you +can call <a href="#retune">retune</a>() to change it at any time. The <a href="#chunkSize">chunkSize</a>() function +returns the current chunk size. The canvas items always make sure +they're in the right chunks; all you need to make sure of is that +the canvas uses the right chunk size. A good rule of thumb is that +the size should be a bit smaller than the average canvas item +size. If you have moving objects, the chunk size should be a bit +smaller than the average size of the moving items. +<p> The foreground is normally nothing, but if you reimplement +<a href="#drawForeground">drawForeground</a>(), you can draw things in front of all the canvas +items. +<p> Areas can be set as changed with <a href="#setChanged">setChanged</a>() and set unchanged with +<a href="#setUnchanged">setUnchanged</a>(). The entire canvas can be set as changed with +<a href="#setAllChanged">setAllChanged</a>(). A list of all the items on the canvas is returned by +<a href="#allItems">allItems</a>(). +<p> An area can be copied (painted) to a <a href="qpainter.html">TQPainter</a> with <a href="#drawArea">drawArea</a>(). +<p> If the canvas is resized it emits the <a href="#resized">resized</a>() signal. +<p> The examples/canvas application and the 2D graphics page of the +examples/demo application demonstrate many of TQCanvas's facilities. +<p> <p>See also <a href="qcanvasview.html">TQCanvasView</a>, <a href="qcanvasitem.html">TQCanvasItem</a>, <a href="abstractwidgets.html">Abstract Widget Classes</a>, <a href="graphics.html">Graphics Classes</a>, and <a href="images.html">Image Processing Classes</a>. + +<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQCanvas"></a>TQCanvas::TQCanvas ( <a href="qobject.html">TQObject</a> * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 ) +</h3> +Create a TQCanvas with no size. <em>parent</em> and <em>name</em> are passed to +the <a href="qobject.html">TQObject</a> superclass. +<p> <b>Warning:</b> You <em>must</em> call <a href="#resize">resize</a>() at some time after creation to +be able to use the canvas. + +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQCanvas-2"></a>TQCanvas::TQCanvas ( int w, int h ) +</h3> +Constructs a TQCanvas that is <em>w</em> pixels wide and <em>h</em> pixels high. + +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQCanvas-3"></a>TQCanvas::TQCanvas ( <a href="qpixmap.html">TQPixmap</a> p, int h, int v, int tilewidth, int tileheight ) +</h3> +Constructs a TQCanvas which will be composed of <em>h</em> tiles +horizontally and <em>v</em> tiles vertically.

In phase 0, the +<a href="qcanvasitem.html#advance">TQCanvasItem::advance</a>() function of each TQCanvasItem::animated() +canvas item is called with paramater 0.

This is a slow operation if there are +many objects on the canvas. +<p> The canvas is divided into chunks which are rectangular areas <em>chunksze</em> wide by <em>chunksze</em> high. Use a chunk size which is about +the average size of the canvas items. If you choose a chunk size +which is too small it will increase the amount of calculation +retquired when drawing since each change will affect many chunks. +If you choose a chunk size which is too large the amount of +drawing retquired will increase because for each change, a lot of +drawing will be retquired since there will be many (unchanged) +canvas items which are in the same chunk as the changed canvas +items. +<p> Internally, a canvas uses a low-resolution "chunk matrix" to keep +track of all the items in the canvas. A 64x64 chunk matrix is the +default for a 1024x1024 pixel canvas, where each chunk collects +canvas items in a 16x16 pixel square. This default is also +affected by <a href="#setTiles">setTiles</a>(). You can tune this default using this +function. For example if you have a very large canvas and want to +trade off speed for memory then you might set the chunk size to 32 +or 64. +<p> The <em>mxclusters</em> argument is the number of rectangular groups of +chunks that will be separately drawn. If the canvas has a large +number of small, dispersed items, this should be about that +number.
