You can +use it to store temporary pixmaps that are expensive to generate +without using more storage space than <a href="#cacheLimit">cacheLimit</a>(). Use <a href="#insert">insert</a>() +to insert pixmaps, <a href="#find">find</a>() to find them and <a href="#clear">clear</a>() to empty the +cache. +<p> For example, <a href="ntqradiobutton.html">TQRadioButton</a> has a non-trivial visual representation +so we don't want to regenerate a pixmap whenever a radio button is +displayed or changes state. In the function +<a href="ntqbutton.html#drawButton">TQRadioButton::drawButton</a>(), we do not draw the radio button +directly. Instead, we first check the global pixmap cache for a +pixmap with the key "$qt_radio_nnn_", where <tt>nnn</tt> is a numerical +value that specifies the the radio button state. If a pixmap is +found, we <a href="ntqimage.html#bitBlt">bitBlt</a>() it onto the widget and return. Otherwise, we +create a new pixmap, draw the radio button in the pixmap, and +finally insert the pixmap in the global pixmap cache, using the +key above. The bitBlt() is ten times faster than drawing the +radio button. All radio buttons in the program share the cached +pixmap since TQPixmapCache is application-global. +<p> TQPixmapCache contains no member data, only static functions to +access the global pixmap cache. It creates an internal <a href="ntqcache.html">TQCache</a> for +caching the pixmaps. +<p> The cache associates a pixmap with a string (key). If two pixmaps +are inserted into the cache using equal keys, then the last pixmap +will hide the first pixmap. The <a href="ntqdict.html">TQDict</a> and TQCache classes do +exactly the same. +<p> The cache becomes full when the total size of all pixmaps in the +cache exceeds <a href="#cacheLimit">cacheLimit</a>(). The initial cache limit is 1024 KByte +(1 MByte); it is changed with <a href="#setCacheLimit">setCacheLimit</a>(). A pixmap takes +roughly width*height*depth/8 bytes of memory. +<p> See the <a href="ntqcache.html">TQCache</a> documentation for more details about the cache +mechanism. +<p>See also <a href="environment.html">Environment 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>int <a name="cacheLimit"></a>TQPixmapCache::cacheLimit ()<tt> [static]</tt> +</h3> +Returns the cache limit (in kilobytes). +<p> The default setting is 1024 kilobytes. +<p> <p>See also <a href="#setCacheLimit">setCacheLimit</a>(). + +<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clear"></a>TQPixmapCache::clear ()<tt> [static]</tt> +</h3> +Removes all pixmaps from the cache. + +<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqpixmap.html">TQPixmap</a> * <a name="find"></a>TQPixmapCache::find ( const <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> & key )<tt> [static]</tt> +</h3> +Returns the pixmap associated with the <em>key</em> in the cache, or +null if there is no such pixmap. +<p> <b>Warning:</b> If valid, you should copy the pixmap immediately (this is +fast).
