public class QImage
extends QtJambiObject
implements QPaintDeviceInterface

The QImage class provides a hardware-independent image representation that allows direct access to the pixel data, and can be used as a paint device.

Qt provides four classes for handling image data: QImage, QPixmap, QBitmap and QPicture. QImage is designed and optimized for I/O, and for direct pixel access and manipulation, while QPixmap is designed and optimized for showing images on screen. QBitmap is only a convenience class that inherits QPixmap, ensuring a depth of 1. Finally, the QPicture class is a paint device that records and replays QPainter commands.

Because QImage is a QPaintDevice subclass, QPainter can be used to draw directly onto images. When using QPainter on a QImage, the painting can be performed in another thread than the current GUI thread, that is except rendering text (because QFont is GUI dependent). To render text in another thread, the text must first be derived as a QPainterPath in the GUI thread.

The QImage class supports several image formats described by the Format enum. These include monochrome, 8-bit, 32-bit and alpha-blended images which are available in all versions of Qt 4.x. In addition, QImage supports several formats that are specific to Qtopia Core.

QImage provides a collection of functions that can be used to obtain a variety of information about the image. There are also several functions that enables transformation of the image.

QImage objects can be passed around by value since the QImage class uses implicit data sharing. QImage objects can also be streamed and compared.

Reading and Writing Image Files

QImage provides several ways of loading an image file: The file can be loaded when constructing the QImage object, or by using the load() or loadFromData() functions later on. QImage also provides the static fromData() function, constructing a QImage from the given data. When loading an image, the file name can either refer to an actual file on disk or to one of the application's embedded resources. See The Qt Resource System overview for details on how to embed images and other resource files in the application's executable.

Simply call the save() function to save a QImage object.

The complete list of supported file formats are available through the QImageReader::supportedImageFormats() and QImageWriter::supportedImageFormats() functions. New file formats can be added as plugins. By default, Qt supports the following formats:

(To configure Qt with GIF support, pass -qt-gif to the configure script or check the appropriate option in the graphical installer.)

Image Information

QImage provides a collection of functions that can be used to obtain a variety of information about the image:

Available Functions
GeometryThe size, width, height, dotsPerMeterX, and dotsPerMeterY functions provide information about the image size and aspect ratio.

The rect function returns the image's enclosing rectangle. The valid function tells if a given pair of coordinates is within this rectangle. The offset function returns the number of pixels by which the image is intended to be offset by when positioned relative to other images, which also can be manipulated using the setOffset function.

ColorsThe color of a pixel can be retrieved by passing its coordinates to the pixel function. The pixel function returns the color as a QRgb value indepedent of the image's format.

In case of monochrome and 8-bit images, the numColors and colorTable functions provide information about the color components used to store the image data: The colorTable function returns the image's entire color table. To obtain a single entry, use the pixelIndex function to retrieve the pixel index for a given pair of coordinates, then use the color function to retrieve the color. Note that if you create an 8-bit image manually, you have to set a valid color table on the image as well.

The hasAlphaChannel function tells if the image's format respects the alpha channel, or not. The allGray and isGrayscale functions tell whether an image's colors are all shades of gray.

See also the Pixel Manipulation and Image Transformations sections.

TextThe text function returns the image text associated with the given text key. An image's text keys can be retrieved using the textKeys function. Use the setText function to alter an image's text.
Low-level informationThe depth function returns the depth of the image. The supported depths are 1 (monochrome), 8 and 32 (for more information see the Image Formats section).

The format, bytesPerLine, and numBytes functions provide low-level information about the data stored in the image.

The cacheKey function returns a number that uniquely identifies the contents of this QImage object.

Pixel Manipulation

The functions used to manipulate an image's pixels depend on the image format. The reason is that monochrome and 8-bit images are index-based and use a color lookup table, while 32-bit images store ARGB values directly. For more information on image formats, see the Image Formats section.

In case of a 32-bit image, the setPixel function can be used to alter the color of the pixel at the given coordinates to any other color specified as an ARGB quadruplet. To make a suitable QRgb value, use the qRgb() (adding a default alpha component to the given RGB values, i.e. creating an opaque color) or qRgba() function. For example:

    QImage image(3, 3, QImage::Format_RGB32);
    QRgb value;

    value = qRgb(189, 149, 39); // 0xffbd9527
    image.setPixel(1, 1, value);

    value = qRgb(122, 163, 39); // 0xff7aa327
    image.setPixel(0, 1, value);
    image.setPixel(1, 0, value);

    value = qRgb(237, 187, 51); // 0xffedba31
    image.setPixel(2, 1, value);
32-bit

In case of a 8-bit and monchrome images , the pixel value is only an index from the image's color table. So the setPixel function can only be used to alter the color of the pixel at the given coordinates to a predefined color from the image's color table, i.e. it can only change the pixel's index value. To alter or add a color to an image's color table, use the setColor function.

An entry in the color table is an ARGB quadruplet encoded as an QRgb value. Use the qRgb() and qRgba() functions to make a suitable QRgb value for use with the setColor function. For example:

    QImage image(3, 3, QImage::Format_Indexed8);
    QRgb value;

    value = qRgb(122, 163, 39); // 0xff7aa327
    image.setColor(0, value);

    value = qRgb(237, 187, 51); // 0xffedba31
    image.setColor(1, value);

    value = qRgb(189, 149, 39); // 0xffbd9527
    image.setColor(2, value);

    image.setPixel(0, 1, 0);
    image.setPixel(1, 0, 0);
    image.setPixel(1, 1, 2);
    image.setPixel(2, 1, 1);
8-bit

QImage also provide the scanLine function which returns a pointer to the pixel data at the scanline with the given index, and the bits function which returns a pointer to the first pixel data (this is equivalent to scanLine(0)).

Image Formats

Each pixel stored in a QImage is represented by an integer. The size of the integer varies depending on the format. QImage supports several image formats described by the Format enum. The monochrome (1-bit), 8-bit and 32-bit images are available in all versions of Qt. In addition Qtopia Core also supports 2-bit, 4-bit, and 16-bit images. For more information about the Qtopia specific formats, see the documentation of the Format enum.

Monochrome images are stored using 1-bit indexes into a color table with at most two colors. There are two different types of monochrome images: big endian (MSB first) or little endian (LSB first) bit order.

8-bit images are stored using 8-bit indexes into a color table, i.e. they have a single byte per pixel. The color table is a QVector<QRgb>, and the QRgb typedef is equivalent to an unsigned int containing an ARGB quadruplet on the format 0xAARRGGBB.

32-bit images have no color table; instead, each pixel contains an QRgb value. There are three different types of 32-bit images storing RGB (i.e. 0xffRRGGBB), ARGB and premultiplied ARGB values respectively. In the premultiplied format the red, green, and blue channels are multiplied by the alpha component divided by 255.

An image's format can be retrieved using the format function. Use the convertToFormat functions to convert an image into another format. The allGray and isGrayscale functions tell whether a color image can safely be converted to a grayscale image.

Image Transformations

QImage supports a number of functions for creating a new image that is a transformed version of the original: The createAlphaMask function builds and returns a 1-bpp mask from the alpha buffer in this image, and the createHeuristicMask function creates and returns a 1-bpp heuristic mask for this image. The latter function works by selecting a color from one of the corners, then chipping away pixels of that color starting at all the edges.

The mirrored function returns a mirror of the image in the desired direction, the scaled returns a copy of the image scaled to a rectangle of the desired measures, the rgbSwapped function constructs a BGR image from a RGB image, and the alphaChannel function constructs an image from this image's alpha channel.

The scaledToWidth and scaledToHeight functions return scaled copies of the image.

The transformed function returns a copy of the image that is transformed with the given transformation matrix and transformation mode: Internally, the transformation matrix is adjusted to compensate for unwanted translation, i.e. transformed returns the smallest image containing all transformed points of the original image. The static trueMatrix function returns the actual matrix used for transforming the image.

There are also functions for changing attributes of an image in-place:

FunctionDescription
setAlphaChannelSets the alpha channel of the image.
setDotsPerMeterXDefines the aspect ratio by setting the number of pixels that fit horizontally in a physical meter.
setDotsPerMeterYDefines the aspect ratio by setting the number of pixels that fit vertically in a physical meter.
fillFills the entire image with the given pixel value.
invertPixelsInverts all pixel values in the image using the given InvertMode value.
setColorTableSets the color table used to translate color indexes. Only monochrome and 8-bit formats.
setNumColorsResizes the color table. Only monochrome and 8-bit formats.

Legal Information

For smooth scaling, the transformed functions use code based on smooth scaling algorithm by Daniel M. Duley.

Constructs an image with the given size and format.


QImage

public QImage(java.lang.String[] xpm)
Constructs an image from the given xpm image.

Make sure that the image is a valid XPM image. Errors are silently ignored.


QImage

public QImage(byte[] data,
              int width,
              int height,
              QImage.Format format)
Constructs an image with the given width, height and format, that uses an existing read-only memory buffer, data. The width and height must be specified in pixels, data must be 32-bit aligned, and each scanline of data in the image must also be 32-bit aligned.

The buffer must remain valid throughout the life of the QImage and all copies that have not been modified or otherwise detached from the original buffer. The image does not delete the buffer at destruction.

If the image is in an indexed color format, set the color table for the image using setColorTable().

Unlike the similar QImage constructor that takes a non-const data buffer, this version will never alter the contents of the buffer. For example, calling QImage::bits() will return a deep copy of the image, rather than the buffer passed to the constructor. This allows for the efficiency of constructing a QImage from raw data, without the possibility of the raw data being changed.


QImage

public QImage(java.lang.String fileName,
              java.lang.String format)
Constructs an image and tries to load the image from the file with the given fileName.

The loader attempts to read the image using the specified format. If the format is not specified (which is the default), the loader probes the file for a header to guess the file format.

If the loading of the image failed, this object is a null image.

The file name can either refer to an actual file on disk or to one of the application's embedded resources. See the \l{resources.html}{Resource System} overview for details on how to embed images and other resource files in the application's executable.


QImage

public QImage(java.lang.String fileName)
This is an overloaded constructor provided for convenience.

Method Detail

allGray

public final boolean allGray()

Returns true if all the colors in the image are shades of gray (i.e. their red, green and blue components are equal); otherwise false.

Note that this function is slow for images without color table.

See Also:
isGrayscale

alphaChannel

public final QImage alphaChannel()

Returns the alpha channel of the image as a new grayscale QImage in which each pixel's red, green, and blue values are given the alpha value of the original image. The color depth of the returned image is 8-bit.

You can see an example of use of this function in QPixmap's alphaChannel(), which works in the same way as this function on QPixmaps.

See Also:
setAlphaChannel, hasAlphaChannel, Pixmap, Transformations

bits

public final QNativePointer bits()

Returns a pointer to the first pixel data. This is equivalent to scanLine(0).

Note that QImage uses implicit data sharing. This function performs a deep copy of the shared pixel data, thus ensuring that this QImage is the only one using the current return value.

See Also:
scanLine, numBytes

bytesPerLine

public final int bytesPerLine()

Returns the number of bytes per image scanline.

This is equivalent to numBytes/ height.

See Also:
scanLine

cacheKey

public final long cacheKey()

Returns a number that identifies the contents of this QImage object. Distinct QImage objects can only have the same key if they refer to the same contents.

The key will change when the image is altered.


color

public final int color(int i)

Returns the color in the color table at index i. The first color is at index 0.

The colors in an image's color table are specified as ARGB quadruplets (QRgb). Use the qAlpha(), qRed(), qGreen(), and qBlue() functions to get the color value components.

See Also:
setColor, pixelIndex, Manipulation

colorTable

copy

public final QImage copy()

Equivalent to copy(QRect()).


copy

public final QImage copy(QRect rect)

Returns a sub-area of the image as a new image.

The returned image is copied from the position (rect.x(), rect.y()) in this image, and will always have the size of the given rect.

In areas beyond this image, pixels are set to 0. For 32-bit RGB images, this means black; for 32-bit ARGB images, this means transparent black; for 8-bit images, this means the color with index 0 in the color table which can be anything; for 1-bit images, this means Qt::color0.

If the given rect is a null rectangle the entire image is copied.

public final QImage copy(int x,
                         int y,
                         int w,
                         int h)

The returned image is copied from the position (x, y) in this image, and will always have the given w and h. In areas beyond this image, pixels are set to 0.


createAlphaMask

public final QImage createAlphaMask(Qt.ImageConversionFlag... flags)

Builds and returns a 1-bpp mask from the alpha buffer in this image. Returns a null image if the image's format is QImage::Format_RGB32.

The flags argument is a bitwise-OR of the Qt::ImageConversionFlags, and controls the conversion process. Passing 0 for flags sets all the default options.

The returned image has little-endian bit order (i.e. the image's format is QImage::Format_MonoLSB), which you can convert to big-endian (QImage::Format_Mono) using the convertToFormat function.

See Also:
createHeuristicMask, Transformations

createAlphaMask

public final QImage createAlphaMask()

Equivalent to createAlphaMask(Qt::AutoColor).


createAlphaMask

public final QImage createAlphaMask(Qt.ImageConversionFlags flags)

Builds and returns a 1-bpp mask from the alpha buffer in this image. Returns a null image if the image's format is QImage::Format_RGB32.

The flags argument is a bitwise-OR of the Qt::ImageConversionFlags, and controls the conversion process. Passing 0 for flags sets all the default options.

The returned image has little-endian bit order (i.e. the image's format is QImage::Format_MonoLSB), which you can convert to big-endian (QImage::Format_Mono) using the convertToFormat function.

See Also:
createHeuristicMask, Transformations

createHeuristicMask

public final QImage createHeuristicMask()

Equivalent to createHeuristicMask(true).


createHeuristicMask

public final QImage createHeuristicMask(boolean clipTight)

Creates and returns a 1-bpp heuristic mask for this image.

The function works by selecting a color from one of the corners, then chipping away pixels of that color starting at all the edges. The four corners vote for which color is to be masked away. In case of a draw (this generally means that this function is not applicable to the image), the result is arbitrary.

The returned image has little-endian bit order (i.e. the image's format is QImage::Format_MonoLSB), which you can convert to big-endian (QImage::Format_Mono) using the convertToFormat function.

If clipTight is true (the default) the mask is just large enough to cover the pixels; otherwise, the mask is larger than the data pixels.

Note that this function disregards the alpha buffer.

See Also:
createAlphaMask, Transformations

createMaskFromColor

public final QImage createMaskFromColor(int color)

Equivalent to createMaskFromColor(color, Qt::MaskInColor).


createMaskFromColor

public final QImage createMaskFromColor(int color,
                                        Qt.MaskMode mode)

Creates and returns a mask for this image based on the given color value. If the mode is MaskInColor (the default value), all pixels matching color will be opaque pixels in the mask. If mode is MaskOutColor, all pixels matching the given color will be transparent.

See Also:
createAlphaMask, createHeuristicMask

depth

public final int depth()

Returns the depth of the image.

The image depth is the number of bits used to encode a single pixel, also called bits per pixel (bpp) or bit planes of an image.

The supported depths are 1, 8 and 32.

Specified by:
depth in interface QPaintDeviceInterface
See Also:
convertToFormat, Formats, Information

dotsPerMeterX

public final int dotsPerMeterX()

Returns the number of pixels that fit horizontally in a physical meter. Together with dotsPerMeterY, this number defines the intended scale and aspect ratio of the image.

See Also:
setDotsPerMeterX, Information

dotsPerMeterY

public final int dotsPerMeterY()

Returns the number of pixels that fit vertically in a physical meter. Together with dotsPerMeterX, this number defines the intended scale and aspect ratio of the image.

See Also:
setDotsPerMeterY, Information

fill

public final void fill(int pixel)

Fills the entire image with the given pixel.

If the depth of this image is 1, only the lowest bit is used. If you say fill(0), fill(2), etc., the image is filled with 0s. If you say fill(1), fill(3), etc., the image is filled with 1s. If the depth is 8, the lowest 8 bits are used and if the depth is 16 the lowest 16 bits are used.

Note: QImage::pixel() returns the color of the pixel at the given coordinates while QColor::pixel() returns the pixel value of the underlying window system (essentially an index value), so normally you will want to use QImage::pixel() to use a color from an existing image or QColor::rgb() to use a specific color.

See Also:
depth, Transformations

format

public final QImage.Format format()

Returns the format of the image.

invertPixels

public final void invertPixels()

Equivalent to invertPixels(InvertRgb).


invertPixels

public final void invertPixels(QImage.InvertMode arg__1)

Inverts all pixel values in the image.

The given invert arg__1 only have a meaning when the image's depth is 32. The default arg__1 is InvertRgb, which leaves the alpha channel unchanged. If the arg__1 is InvertRgba, the alpha bits are also inverted.

Inverting an 8-bit image means to replace all pixels using color index i with a pixel using color index 255 minus i. The same is the case for a 1-bit image. Note that the color table is not changed.

See Also:
Transformations

isGrayscale

public final boolean isGrayscale()

For 32-bit images, this function is equivalent to allGray.

For 8-bpp images, this function returns true if color(i) is QRgb(i, i, i) for all indexes of the color table; otherwise returns false.

A null image has all parameters set to zero and no allocated data.


logicalDpiX

public final int logicalDpiX()

                           int index_or_rgb)

Sets the pixel index or color at the given pt to index_or_rgb.

If the image's format is either monochrome or 8-bit, the given index_or_rgb value must be an index in the image's color table, otherwise the parameter must be a QRgb value.

setText

public final void setText(java.lang.String key,
                          java.lang.String value)

Sets the image text to the given value and associate it with the given key.

If you just want to store a single text block (i.e., a "comment" or just a description), you can either pass an empty key, or use a generic key like "Description".

The image text is embedded into the image data when you call save() or QImageWriter::write().

Not all image formats support embedded text. You can find out if a specific image or format supports embedding text by using QImageWriter::supportsOption(). We give an example:

            QImageWriter writer;
            writer.setFormat("png");
            if (writer.supportsOption(QImageIOHandler::Description))
                qDebug() << "Png supports embedded text";

You can use QImageWriter::supportedImageFormats() to find out which image formats are available to you.

Returns a pointer to the paint engine used for drawing on the device.

Specified by:
paintEngine in interface QPaintDeviceInterface

trueMatrix

public static QMatrix trueMatrix(QMatrix arg__1,
                                 int w,
                                 int h)

Returns the actual matrix used for transforming an image with the given w, h and arg__1.

When transforming an image using the transformed function, the transformation matrix is internally adjusted to compensate for unwanted translation, i.e. transformed returns the smallest image containing all transformed points of the original image. This function returns the modified matrix, which maps points correctly from the original image into the new image.

trueMatrix

public static QTransform trueMatrix(QTransform arg__1,
                                    int w,
                                    int h)

Returns the actual matrix used for transforming an image with the given w, h and arg__1.

When transforming an image using the transformed function, the transformation matrix is internally adjusted to compensate for unwanted translation, i.e. transformed returns the smallest image containing all transformed points of the original image. This function returns the modified matrix, which maps points correctly from the original image into the new image.

Unlike the other overload, this function creates transformation matrices that can be used to perform perspective transformations on images.

fromNativePointer

public static QImage fromNativePointer(QNativePointer nativePointer)
This function returns the QImage instance pointed to by nativePointer

Parameters:
nativePointer - the QNativePointer of which object should be returned.

nativePointerArray

public static QNativePointer nativePointerArray(QImage[] array)
This function returns a QNativePointer that is pointing to the specified QImage array.

Parameters:
array - the array that the returned pointer will point to.
Returns:
a QNativePointer that is pointing to the specified array.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Overrides:
equals in class java.lang.Object

save

public final boolean save(java.lang.String fileName,
                          java.lang.String format,
                          int quality)
Saves the image to the file with the given fileName, using the given image file format and quality factor. If format is null, QImage will attempt to guess the format by looking at fileName's suffix.

The quality factor must be in the range 0 to 100 or -1. Specify 0 to obtain small compressed files, 100 for large uncompressed files, and -1 (the default) to use the default settings.

Returns true if the image was successfully saved; otherwise returns false.

load

public final boolean load(java.lang.String fileName,
                          java.lang.String format)
Loads an image from the file with the given fileName. Returns true if the image was successfully loaded; otherwise returns false.

The loader attempts to read the image using the specified format. If the format is null, the loader probes the file for a header to guess the file format.

The file name can either refer to an actual file on disk or to one of the application's embedded resources. See the \l{resources.html}{Resource System} overview for details on how to embed images and other resource files in the application's executable.
