Synopsis

Functions

Detailed Description

QPaintEngineState records which properties that have changed since the last time the paint engine was updated, as well as their current value.

Which properties that have changed can at any time be retrieved using the state() function. This function returns an instance of the DirtyFlags type which stores an OR combination of DirtyFlag values. The DirtyFlag enum defines whether a property has changed since the last update or not.

If a property is marked with a dirty flag, its current value can be retrieved using the corresponding get function:

Property Flag

Current Property Value

DirtyBackground

backgroundBrush()

DirtyBackgroundMode

backgroundMode()

DirtyBrush

brush()

DirtyBrushOrigin

brushOrigin()

DirtyClipRegion or DirtyClipPath

clipOperation()

DirtyClipPath

clipPath()

DirtyClipRegion

clipRegion()

DirtyCompositionMode

compositionMode()

DirtyFont

font()

DirtyTransform

transform()

DirtyClipEnabled

isClipEnabled()

DirtyPen

pen()

DirtyHints

renderHints()

The QPaintEngineState class also provide the painter() function which returns a pointer to the painter that is currently updating the paint engine.

An instance of this class, representing the current state of the active paint engine, is passed as argument to the updateState() function. The only situation in which you will have to use this class directly is when implementing your own paint engine.
