TheQRegion class specifies a clip region for a painter.
QRegion is used withQPainter::setClipRegion() to limit the paint area to what needs to be painted. There is also aQWidget::repaint() function that takes aQRegion 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. UseQPainterPath to create paths and shapes for use withQPainter.
QRegion is animplicitly shared class.
A region can be created from a rectangle, an ellipse, a polygon or a bitmap. Complex regions may be created by combining simple regions usingunited(),intersected(),subtracted(), orxored() (exclusive or). You can move a region usingtranslate().
You can test whether a regionisEmpty() or if itcontains() aQPoint orQRect. The bounding rectangle can be found withboundingRect().
The functionrects() gives a decomposition of the region into rectangles.
Example of using complex regions:
void MyWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent*){QRegion r1(QRect(100,100,200,80),// r1: elliptic regionQRegion::Ellipse);QRegion r2(QRect(100,120,90,30));// r2: rectangular regionQRegion r3= r1.intersected(r2);// r3: intersectionQPainter painter(this); painter.setClipRegion(r3);...// paint clipped graphics}

Specifies the shape of the region to be created.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
QRegion::Rectangle | 0 | the region covers the entire rectangle. |
QRegion::Ellipse | 1 | the region is an ellipse inside the rectangle. |
Constructs an empty region.
See alsoisEmpty().
Constructs a rectangular or elliptic region.
Ift isRectangle, the region is the filled rectangle (x,y,w,h). Ift isEllipse, the region is the filled ellipse with center at (x +w / 2,y +h / 2) and size (w ,h).
Constructs a polygon region from the point arraya with the fill rule specified byfillRule.
IffillRule isQt::WindingFill, the polygon region is defined using the winding algorithm; if it isQt::OddEvenFill, the odd-even fill algorithm is used.
Warning: This constructor can be used to create complex regions that will slow down painting when used.
Constructs a new region which is equal to regionr.
Constructs a region from the bitmapbm.
The resulting region consists of the pixels in bitmapbm that areQt::color1, as if each pixel was a 1 by 1 rectangle.
This constructor may create complex regions that will slow down painting when used. Note that drawing masked pixmaps can be done much faster usingQPixmap::setMask().
This is an overloaded function.
Create a region based on the rectanger with region typet.
If the rectangle is invalid a null region will be created.
See alsoQRegion::RegionType.
Returns the bounding rectangle of this region. An empty region gives a rectangle that isQRect::isNull().
Returns true if the region contains the pointp; otherwise returns false.
This is an overloaded function.
Returns true if the region overlaps the rectangler; otherwise returns false.
Returns a platform-specific region handle. TheHandle type isHRGN on Windows,Region on X11, andRgnHandle on Mac OS X. OnQt for Embedded Linux it isvoid *.
Warning: This function is not portable.
Returns a region which is the intersection of this region andr.

The figure shows the intersection of two elliptical regions.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See alsosubtracted(),united(), andxored().
Returns a region which is the intersection of this region and the givenrect.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.
See alsosubtracted(),united(), andxored().
Returns true if this region intersects withregion, otherwise returns false.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
Returns true if this region intersects withrect, otherwise returns false.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
Returns true if the region is empty; otherwise returns false. An empty region is a region that contains no points.
Example:
QRegion r1(10,10,20,20);r1.isEmpty();// falseQRegion r3;r3.isEmpty();// trueQRegion r2(40,40,20,20);r3= r1.intersected(r2);// r3: intersection of r1 and r2r3.isEmpty();// truer3= r1.united(r2);// r3: union of r1 and r2r3.isEmpty();// false
Returns the number of rectangles that will be returned inrects().
