Detailed Description

Warning

This section contains snippets that were automatically translated from C++ to Python and may contain errors.

A point is specified by a x coordinate and an y coordinate which can be accessed using the x() and y() functions. The coordinates of the point are specified using finite floating point numbers for accuracy. The isNull() function returns true if both x and y are set to 0.0. The coordinates can be set (or altered) using the setX() and setY() functions, or alternatively the rx() and ry() functions which return references to the coordinates (allowing direct manipulation).

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

p = QPointF()
p.setX(p.x() + 1.0)
p += QPointF(1.0, 0.0)
p.rx() += 1

A QPointF object can also be used as a vector: Addition and subtraction are defined as for vectors (each component is added separately). A QPointF object can also be divided or multiplied by an int or a qreal.

In addition, the QPointF class provides a constructor converting a QPoint object into a QPointF object, and a corresponding toPoint() function which returns a QPoint copy of this point. Finally, QPointF objects can be streamed as well as compared.

static dotProduct(p1, p2)
Parameters:
Return type:

float

Warning

This section contains snippets that were automatically translated from C++ to Python and may contain errors.

p = QPointF( 3.1, 7.1)
q = QPointF(-1.0, 4.1)
dotProduct = QPointF.dotProduct(p, q) # dotProduct becomes 26.01()

Returns the dot product of p1 and p2.

isNull()
Return type:

bool

Returns true if both the x and y coordinates are set to 0.0 (ignoring the sign); otherwise returns false.

manhattanLength()
Return type:

float

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.

__ne__(rhs)
Parameters:

rhsQPoint

Return type:

bool

__ne__(rhs)
Parameters:

rhsQPointF

Return type:

bool

Returns true if lhs is sufficiently different from rhs; otherwise returns false.

Warning

This function does not check for strict inequality; instead, it uses a fuzzy comparison to compare the points’ coordinates.
