+<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
+
+
+The TQMimeSourceFactory class is an extensible provider of mime-typed data.
+<p>
+
+<p> A TQMimeSourceFactory provides an abstract interface to a
+collection of information. Each piece of information is
+represented by a <a href="qmimesource.html">TQMimeSource</a> object which can be examined and
+converted to concrete data types by functions such as
+<a href="qimagedrag.html#canDecode">TQImageDrag::canDecode</a>() and <a href="qimagedrag.html#decode">TQImageDrag::decode</a>().
+<p> The base TQMimeSourceFactory can be used in two ways: as an
+abstraction of a collection of files or as specifically stored
+data. For it to access files, call <a href="#setFilePath">setFilePath</a>() before accessing
+data. For stored data, call <a href="#setData">setData</a>() for each item (there are
+also convenience functions, e.g. <a href="#setText">setText</a>(), <a href="#setImage">setImage</a>() and
+<a href="#setPixmap">setPixmap</a>(), that simply call setData() with appropriate
+parameters).
+<p> The rich text widgets, <a href="qtextedit.html">TQTextEdit</a> and <a href="qtextbrowser.html">TQTextBrowser</a>, use
+TQMimeSourceFactory to resolve references such as images or links
+within rich text documents. They either access the default factory
+(see <a href="#defaultFactory">defaultFactory</a>()) or their own (see
+<a href="qtextedit.html#setMimeSourceFactory">TQTextEdit::setMimeSourceFactory</a>()). Other classes that are
+capable of displaying rich text (such as <a href="qlabel.html">TQLabel</a>, <a href="qwhatsthis.html">TQWhatsThis</a> or
+<a href="qmessagebox.html">TQMessageBox</a>) always use the default factory.
+<p> A factory can also be used as a container to store data associated
+with a name. This technique is useful whenever rich text contains
+images that are stored in the program itself, not loaded from the
+hard disk. Your program may, for example, define some image data
+as:
+<pre>
+ static const char* myimage_data[]={
+ "...",
+ ...
+ "..."};
+ </pre>
+
+<p> To be able to use this image within some rich text, for example
+inside a TQLabel, you must create a <a href="qimage.html">TQImage</a> from the raw data and
+insert it into the factory with a unique name:
+<pre>
+ TQMimeSourceFactory::<a href="#defaultFactory">defaultFactory</a>()-&gt;setImage( "myimage", TQImage(myimage_data) );
+ </pre>
+
+<p> Now you can create a rich text TQLabel with
+<p> <pre>
+ <a href="qlabel.html">TQLabel</a>* label = new <a href="qlabel.html">TQLabel</a>(
+ "Rich text with embedded image:&lt;img source=\"myimage\"&gt;"
+ "Isn't that &lt;em&gt;cute&lt;/em&gt;?" );
+ </pre>
+
+<p> When no longer needed, you can clear the data from the factory:
+<p> <pre>
+ delete label;
+ TQMimeSourceFactory::<a href="#defaultFactory">defaultFactory</a>()-&gt;setData( "myimage", 0 );
+ </pre>
+
+<p>See also <a href="environment.html">Environment Classes</a> and <a href="io.html">Input/Output and Networking</a>.

+<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQMimeSourceFactory"></a>TQMimeSourceFactory::TQMimeSourceFactory ()
+</h3>
+Constructs a TQMimeSourceFactory that has no file path and no
+stored content.
+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQMimeSourceFactory"></a>TQMimeSourceFactory::~TQMimeSourceFactory ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
+</h3>
+Destroys the TQMimeSourceFactory, deleting all stored content.
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="addFactory"></a>TQMimeSourceFactory::addFactory ( <a href="qmimesourcefactory.html">TQMimeSourceFactory</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;f )<tt> [static]</tt>
+</h3>
+Adds the TQMimeSourceFactory <em>f</em> to the list of available
+mimesource factories. If the <a href="#defaultFactory">defaultFactory</a>() can't resolve a
+<a href="#data">data</a>() it iterates over the list of installed mimesource factories
+until the data can be resolved.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#removeFactory">removeFactory</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="addFilePath"></a>TQMimeSourceFactory::addFilePath ( const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;p )
+</h3>
+Adds another search path, <em>p</em> to the existing search paths.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setFilePath">setFilePath</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>const&nbsp;<a href="qmimesource.html">TQMimeSource</a>&nbsp;* <a name="data"></a>TQMimeSourceFactory::data ( const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;abs_name ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
+</h3>
+Returns a reference to the data associated with <em>abs_name</em>. The
+return value remains valid only until the next <a href="#data">data</a>() or <a href="#setData">setData</a>()
+call, so you should immediately decode the result.
+<p> If there is no data associated with <em>abs_name</em> in the factory's
+store, the factory tries to access the local filesystem. If <em>abs_name</em> isn't an absolute file name, the factory will search for
+it in all defined paths (see <a href="#setFilePath">setFilePath</a>()).
+<p> The factory understands all the image formats supported by
+<a href="qimageio.html">TQImageIO</a>. Any other mime types are determined by the file name
+extension. The default settings are
+<pre>
+ <a href="#setExtensionType">setExtensionType</a>("html", "text/html;charset=iso8859-1");
+ <a href="#setExtensionType">setExtensionType</a>("htm", "text/html;charset=iso8859-1");
+ <a href="#setExtensionType">setExtensionType</a>("txt", "text/plain");
+ <a href="#setExtensionType">setExtensionType</a>("xml", "text/xml;charset=UTF-8");
+ </pre>
+
+The effect of these is that file names ending in "txt" will be
+treated as text encoded in the local encoding; those ending in
+"xml" will be treated as text encoded in Unicode UTF-8 encoding.
+The text/html type is treated specially, since the encoding can be
+specified in the html file itself. "html" or "htm" will be treated
+as text encoded in the encoding specified by the html meta tag, if
+none could be found, the charset of the mime type will be used.
+The text subtype ("html", "plain", or "xml") does not affect the
+factory, but users of the factory may behave differently. We
+recommend creating "xml" files where practical. These files can be
+viewed regardless of the runtime encoding and can encode any
+Unicode characters without resorting to encoding definitions
+inside the file.
+<p> Any file data that is not recognized will be retrieved as a
+<a href="qmimesource.html">TQMimeSource</a> providing the "application/octet-stream" mime type,
+meaning uninterpreted binary data.
+<p> You can add further extensions or change existing ones with
+subsequent calls to <a href="#setExtensionType">setExtensionType</a>(). If the extension mechanism
+is not sufficient for your problem domain, you can inherit
+TQMimeSourceFactory and reimplement this function to perform some
+more specialized mime-type detection. The same applies if you want
+to use the mime source factory to access URL referenced data over
+a network.

+<h3 class=fn>const&nbsp;<a href="qmimesource.html">TQMimeSource</a>&nbsp;* <a name="data-2"></a>TQMimeSourceFactory::data ( const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;abs_or_rel_name, const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;context ) const
+</h3>
+This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
+<p> A convenience function. See <a href="#data">data</a>(const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a>& abs_name). The
+file name is given in <em>abs_or_rel_name</em> and the path is in <em>context</em>.
+
+<h3 class=fn><a href="qmimesourcefactory.html">TQMimeSourceFactory</a>&nbsp;* <a name="defaultFactory"></a>TQMimeSourceFactory::defaultFactory ()<tt> [static]</tt>
+</h3>
+Returns the application-wide default mime source factory. This
+factory is used by rich text rendering classes such as
+<a href="qsimplerichtext.html">TQSimpleRichText</a>, <a href="qwhatsthis.html">TQWhatsThis</a> and <a href="qmessagebox.html">TQMessageBox</a> to resolve named
+references within rich text documents. It serves also as the
+initial factory for the more complex render widgets, <a href="qtextedit.html">TQTextEdit</a> and
+<a href="qtextbrowser.html">TQTextBrowser</a>.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setDefaultFactory">setDefaultFactory</a>().

+</h3>
+Converts the absolute or relative data item name <em>abs_or_rel_name</em> to an absolute name, interpreted within the

+</h3>
+Sets <em>data</em> to be the data item associated with
+the absolute name <em>abs_name</em>. Note that the ownership of <em>data</em> is
+transferred to the factory: do not delete or access the pointer after
+passing it to this function.
+<p> Passing 0 for data removes previously stored data.
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setDefaultFactory"></a>TQMimeSourceFactory::setDefaultFactory ( <a href="qmimesourcefactory.html">TQMimeSourceFactory</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;factory )<tt> [static]</tt>
