Synopsis

Functions

Detailed Description

QRegion is used with setClipRegion() to limit the paint area to what needs to be painted. There is also a repaint() function that takes a QRegion parameter. QRegion is the best tool for minimizing the amount of screen area to be updated by a repaint.

This class is not suitable for constructing shapes for rendering, especially as outlines. Use QPainterPath to create paths and shapes for use with QPainter .

QRegion is an implicitly shared class.

Creating and Using Regions

A region can be created from a rectangle, an ellipse, a polygon or a bitmap. Complex regions may be created by combining simple regions using united() , intersected() , subtracted() , or xored() (exclusive or). You can move a region using translate() .

You can test whether a region isEmpty() or if it contains() a QPoint or QRect . The bounding rectangle can be found with boundingRect() .

Iteration over the region (with begin() , end() , or C++11 ranged-for loops) gives a decomposition of the region into rectangles.

Example of using complex regions:

class MyWidget (QWidget):
    # ...
    def paintEvent(self):
        r1 = QRegion(QRect(100, 100, 200, 80), QRegion.Ellipse) # r1: elliptic region
                )
        r2 = QRect(100, 120, 90, 30)   # r2: rectangular region
        r3 = r1.intersected(r2)        # r3: intersection

        painter = QPainter(self)
        painter.setClipRegion(r3)
        ...                            # paint clipped graphics

isEmpty()

Constructs a rectangular or elliptic region.

PySide2.QtGui.QRegion.RegionType

Specifies the shape of the region to be created.
