Detailed Description

The TQPoint class defines a point in the plane.

A point is specified by an x coordinate and a y coordinate.

The coordinate type is TQCOORD (a 32-bit integer). The minimum value of TQCOORD is TQCOORD_MIN (-2147483648) and the maximum value is TQCOORD_MAX (2147483647).

The coordinates are accessed by the functions x() and y(); they can be set by setX() and setY() or by the reference functions rx() and ry().

Given a point p, the following statements are all equivalent: 

        p.setX( p.x() + 1 );
        p += TQPoint( 1, 0 );
        p.rx()++;

A TQPoint can also be used as a vector. Addition and subtraction of TQPoints are defined as for vectors (each component is added separately). You can divide or multiply a TQPoint by an int or a double. The function manhattanLength() gives an inexpensive approximation of the length of the TQPoint interpreted as a vector.

Example: 

        //TQPoint oldPos is defined somewhere else
        MyWidget::mouseMoveEvent( TQMouseEvent *e )
        {
            TQPoint vector = e->pos() - oldPos;
            if ( vector.manhattanLength() > 3 )
            ... //mouse has moved more than 3 pixels since oldPos
        }

TQPoints can be compared for equality or inequality, and they can be written to and read from a TQStream.

Member Function Documentation

TQPoint::TQPoint ()

Constructs a point with coordinates (0, 0) (isNull() returns TRUE).

TQPoint::TQPoint ( int xpos, int ypos )

Constructs a point with x value xpos and y value ypos.

bool TQPoint::isNull () const

Returns TRUE if both the x value and the y value are 0; otherwise returns FALSE.

int TQPoint::manhattanLength () const

Returns the sum of the absolute values of x() and y(), traditionally known as the "Manhattan length" of the vector from the origin to the point. The tradition arises because such distances apply to travelers who can only travel on a rectangular grid, like the streets of Manhattan.

This is a useful, and quick to calculate, approximation to the true length: sqrt(pow(x(),2)+pow(y(),2)).

TQPoint & TQPoint::operator*= ( int c )

Multiplies this point's x and y by c, and returns a reference to this point.

Example: 

        TQPoint p( -1, 4 );
        p *= 2;            // p becomes (-2,8)

TQPoint & TQPoint::operator*= ( double c )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Multiplies this point's x and y by c, and returns a reference to this point.

Example: 

        TQPoint p( -1, 4 );
        p *= 2.5;          // p becomes (-3,10)

Note that the result is truncated because points are held as integers.

TQPoint & TQPoint::operator+= ( const TQPoint & p )

Adds point p to this point and returns a reference to this point.

Example: 

        TQPoint p(  3, 7 );
        TQPoint q( -1, 4 );
        p += q;            // p becomes (2,11)

TQPoint & TQPoint::operator-= ( const TQPoint & p )

Subtracts point p from this point and returns a reference to this point.

Example: 

        TQPoint p(  3, 7 );
        TQPoint q( -1, 4 );
        p -= q;            // p becomes (4,3)

TQPoint & TQPoint::operator/= ( int c )

Divides both x and y by c, and returns a reference to this point.

Example: 

        TQPoint p( -2, 8 );
        p /= 2;            // p becomes (-1,4)

TQPoint & TQPoint::operator/= ( double c )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Divides both x and y by c, and returns a reference to this point.

Example: 

        TQPoint p( -3, 10 );
        p /= 2.5;           // p becomes (-1,4)

Note that the result is truncated because points are held as integers.

TQCOORD & TQPoint::rx ()

Returns a reference to the x coordinate of the point.

Using a reference makes it possible to directly manipulate x.

Example: 

        TQPoint p( 1, 2 );
        p.rx()--;         // p becomes (0, 2)

See also ry().

TQCOORD & TQPoint::ry ()

Returns a reference to the y coordinate of the point.

Using a reference makes it possible to directly manipulate y.

Example: 

        TQPoint p( 1, 2 );
        p.ry()++;         // p becomes (1, 3)

See also rx().

void TQPoint::setX ( int x )

Sets the x coordinate of the point to x.

See also x() and setY().

Example: t14/cannon.cpp.

void TQPoint::setY ( int y )

Sets the y coordinate of the point to y.

See also y() and setX().

Example: t14/cannon.cpp.

int TQPoint::x () const

Returns the x coordinate of the point.

See also setX() and y().

Examples: canvas/canvas.cpp, chart/canvasview.cpp, dirview/dirview.cpp, fileiconview/tqfileiconview.cpp, helpsystem/tooltip.cpp, life/life.cpp, and t14/cannon.cpp.

int TQPoint::y () const

Returns the y coordinate of the point.

See also setY() and x().

Examples: canvas/canvas.cpp, chart/canvasview.cpp, fileiconview/tqfileiconview.cpp, helpsystem/tooltip.cpp, life/life.cpp, t14/cannon.cpp, and themes/wood.cpp.
