For example, a picture created under Windows can be read on a Sun SPARC. <p> Pictures are called meta-files on some platforms. <p> TQt pictures use a proprietary binary format. Unlike native picture (meta-file) formats on many window systems, TQt pictures have no limitations regarding their contents. Everything that can be painted can also be stored in a picture, e.g. fonts, pixmaps, regions, transformed graphics, etc. <p> TQPicture is an <a href="shclass.html">implicitly shared</a> class. <p> Example of how to record a picture: <pre> TQPicture pic; <a href="ntqpainter.html">TQPainter</a> p; p.<a href="ntqpainter.html#begin">begin</a>( &pic ); // paint in picture p.<a href="ntqpainter.html#drawEllipse">drawEllipse</a>( 10,20, 80,70 ); // draw an ellipse p.<a href="ntqpainter.html#end">end</a>(); // painting done pic.<a href="#save">save</a>( "drawing.pic" ); // save picture </pre> <p> Example of how to replay a picture: <pre> TQPicture pic; pic.<a href="#load">load</a>( "drawing.pic" ); // load picture <a href="ntqpainter.html">TQPainter</a> p; p.<a href="ntqpainter.html#begin">begin</a>( &myWidget ); // paint in myWidget p.<a href="ntqpainter.html#drawPicture">drawPicture</a>( pic ); // draw the picture p.<a href="ntqpainter.html#end">end</a>(); // painting done </pre> <p> Pictures can also be drawn using <a href="#play">play</a>(). Some basic data about a picture is available, for example, <a href="#size">size</a>(), <a href="#isNull">isNull</a>() and <a href="#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>(). <p> <p>See also <a href="graphics.html">Graphics Classes</a>, <a href="images.html">Image Processing Classes</a>, and <a href="shared.html">Implicitly and Explicitly Shared Classes</a>. <hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> <h3 class=fn><a name="TQPicture"></a>TQPicture::TQPicture ( int formatVersion = -1 ) </h3> Constructs an empty picture. <p> The <em>formatVersion</em> parameter may be used to <em>create</em> a TQPicture that can be read by applications that are compiled with earlier versions of TQt. <ul> <li> <em>formatVersion</em> == 1 is binary compatible with TQt 1.x and later. <li> <em>formatVersion</em> == 2 is binary compatible with TQt 2.0.x and later. <li> <em>formatVersion</em> == 3 is binary compatible with TQt 2.1.x and later. <li> <em>formatVersion</em> == 4 is binary compatible with TQt 3.0.x and later. <li> <em>formatVersion</em> == 5 is binary compatible with TQt 3.1. </ul> <p> Note that the default formatVersion is -1 which signifies the current release, i.e. for TQt 3.1 a formatVersion of 5 is the same as the default formatVersion of -1. <p> Reading pictures generated by earlier versions of TQt is supported and needs no special coding; the format is automatically detected. <h3 class=fn><a name="TQPicture-2"></a>TQPicture::TQPicture ( const <a href="ntqpicture.html">TQPicture</a> & pic ) </h3> Constructs a <a href="shclass.html">shallow copy</a> of <em>pic</em>. <h3 class=fn><a name="~TQPicture"></a>TQPicture::~TQPicture () </h3> Destroys the picture. <h3 class=fn><a href="ntqrect.html">TQRect</a> <a name="boundingRect"></a>TQPicture::boundingRect () const </h3> Returns the picture's bounding rectangle or an invalid rectangle if the picture contains no data. <h3 class=fn><a href="ntqpicture.html">TQPicture</a> <a name="copy"></a>TQPicture::copy () const<tt> [protected]</tt> </h3> Returns a <a href="shclass.html">deep copy</a> of the picture. <h3 class=fn>const char * <a name="data"></a>TQPicture::data () const </h3> <p> Returns a pointer to the picture data. The pointer is only valid until the next non-const function is called on this picture. The returned pointer is 0 if the picture contains no data. <p> <p>See also <a href="#size">size</a>() and <a href="#isNull">isNull</a>(). <h3 class=fn>void <a name="detach"></a>TQPicture::detach ()<tt> [protected]</tt> </h3> Detaches from shared picture data and makes sure that this picture is the only one referring to the data. <p> If multiple pictures share common data, this picture makes a copy of the data and detaches itself from the sharing mechanism. Nothing is done if there is just a single reference. <h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isNull"></a>TQPicture::isNull () const </h3> <p> Returns TRUE if the picture contains no data; otherwise returns FALSE. <h3 class=fn>bool <a name="load"></a>TQPicture::load ( const <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> & fileName, const char * format = 0 ) </h3> Loads a picture from the file specified by <em>fileName</em> and returns TRUE if successful; otherwise returns FALSE. <p> By default, the file will be interpreted as being in the native TQPicture format. Specifying the <em>format</em> string is optional and is only needed for importing picture data stored in a different format. <p> Currently, the only external format supported is the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/">W3C SVG</a> format which requires the <a href="xml.html">TQt XML module</a>. The corresponding <em>format</em> string is "svg". <p> <p>See also <a href="#save">save</a>(). <p>Examples: <a href="picture-example.html#x122">picture/picture.cpp</a> and <a href="xform-example.html#x1244">xform/xform.cpp</a>. <h3 class=fn>bool <a name="load-2"></a>TQPicture::load ( <a href="ntqiodevice.html">TQIODevice</a> * dev, const char * format = 0 ) </h3> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

It's not recommended unless you intend to export the picture data for use by a third party reader. By default the data will be saved in the native TQPicture file format. <p> Currently, the only external format supported is the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/">W3C SVG</a> format which requires the <a href="xml.html">TQt XML module</a>.
