#include <QImage>
Inherits QPaintDevice.
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.
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:
| Format | Description | Qt's support |
|---|---|---|
| BMP | Windows Bitmap | Read/write |
| GIF | Graphic Interchange Format (optional) | Read |
| JPG | Joint Photographic Experts Group | Read/write |
| JPEG | Joint Photographic Experts Group | Read/write |
| PNG | Portable Network Graphics | Read/write |
| PBM | Portable Bitmap | Read |
| PGM | Portable Graymap | Read |
| PPM | Portable Pixmap | Read/write |
| XBM | X11 Bitmap | Read/write |
| XPM | X11 Pixmap | Read/write |
(To configure Qt with GIF support, pass -qt-gif to the configure script or check the appropriate option in the graphical installer.)
QImage provides a collection of functions that can be used to obtain a variety of information about the image:
| Available Functions | |
|---|---|
| Geometry | The 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. |
| Colors | The 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. 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. |
| Text | The 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 information | The 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 serialNumber() function returns a number that uniquely identifies the contents of this QImage object. |
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)).
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.
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() fucntion 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:
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| setAlphaChannel() | Sets the alpha channel of the image. |
| setDotsPerMeterX() | Defines the aspect ratio by setting the number of pixels that fit horizontally in a physical meter. |
| setDotsPerMeterY() | Defines the aspect ratio by setting the number of pixels that fit vertically in a physical meter. |
| fill() | Fills the entire image with the given pixel value. |
| invertPixels() | Inverts all pixel values in the image using the given InvertMode value. |
| setColorTable() | Sets the color table used to translate color indexes. Only monochrome and 8-bit formats. |
| setNumColors() | Resizes the color table. Only monochrome and 8-bit formats. |
See also QImageReader, QImageWriter, and QPixmap.
The following image formats are available in all versions of Qt:
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QImage::Format_Invalid | 0 | The image is invalid. |
| QImage::Format_Mono | 1 | The image is stored using 1-bit per pixel. Bytes are packed with the most significant bit (MSB) first. |
| QImage::Format_MonoLSB | 2 | The image is stored using 1-bit per pixel. Bytes are packed with the less significant bit (LSB) first. |
| QImage::Format_Indexed8 | 3 | The image is stored using 8-bit indexes into a colormap. |
| QImage::Format_RGB32 | 4 | The image is stored using a 32-bit RGB format (0xffRRGGBB). |
| QImage::Format_ARGB32 | 5 | The image is stored using a 32-bit ARGB format (0xAARRGGBB). |
| QImage::Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied | 6 | The image is stored using a premultiplied 32-bit ARGB format (0xAARRGGBB), i.e. the red, green, and blue channels are multiplied by the alpha component divided by 255. (If RR, GG, or BB has a higher value than the alpha channel, the results are undefined.) |
The following image format is specific to Qtopia Core:
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QImage::Format_RGB16 | 7 | The image is stored using a 16-bit RGB format (5-6-5). |
See also format() and convertToFormat().
This enum type is used to describe how pixel values should be inverted in the invertPixels() function.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QImage::InvertRgb | 0 | Invert only the RGB values and leave the alpha channel unchanged. |
| QImage::InvertRgba | 1 | Invert all channels, including the alpha channel. |
See also invertPixels().
Constructs a null image.
See also isNull().
Constructs an image with the given size and format.
Constructs an image with the given width, height and format.
Constructs an image with the given width, height and format, that uses an existing memory buffer, data. The width and height must be specified in pixels, and that data must be 32-bit aligned.
The buffer must remain valid throughout the life of the QImage. 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().
Constructs an image from the given xpm image.
Make sure that the image is a valid XPM image. Errors are silently ignored.
Note that it's possible to squeeze the XPM variable a little bit by using an unusual declaration:
static const char * const start_xpm[] = {
"16 15 8 1",
"a c #cec6bd",
....
The extra const makes the entire definition read-only, which is slightly more efficient (e.g. when the code is in a shared library) and ROMable when the application is to be stored in ROM.
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 Resource System overview for details on how to embed images and other resource files in the application's executable.
See also isNull() and Reading and Writing Image Files.

You can disable this constructor by defining QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII when you compile your applications. This can be useful, for example, if you want to ensure that all user-visible strings go through QObject::tr().
See also QString::fromAscii(), isNull(), and Reading and Writing Image Files.
Constructs a shallow copy of the given image.
For more information about shallow copies, see the Implicit Data Sharing documentation.
See also copy().
Destroys the image and cleans up.
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().
Extracts the alpha channel from this image as an 8 bit gray scale image and returns it.
See also setAlphaChannel(), hasAlphaChannel(), and Image Transformations.
Returns a pointer to the first pixel data. This is equivalent to scanLine(0).
See also scanLine() and numBytes().
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.
Returns the number of bytes per image scanline.
This is equivalent to numBytes()/ height().
See also scanLine().
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(), and Pixel Manipulation.
Returns a list of the colors contained in the image's color table, or an empty list if the image does not have a color table
See also setColorTable(), numColors(), and color().
Returns a copy of the image in the given format.
The specified image conversion flags control how the image data is handled during the conversion process.
See also Image Format.
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.
Returns a copy of the image converted to the given format, using the specified colorTable.
Returns a sub-area of the image as a new image.
The returned image is copied from the position (rectangle.x(), rectangle.y()) in this image, and will always have the size of the given rectangle.
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 rectangle is a null rectangle the entire image is copied.
See also QImage().
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.
The returned image is copied from the position (x, y) in this image, and will always have the given width and height. In areas beyond this image, pixels are set to 0.
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() and Image Transformations.
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() and Image Transformations.
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.
See also convertToFormat(), Image Formats, and Image Information.
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() and Image Information.
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() and Image Information.
Fills the entire image with the given pixelValue.
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() and Image Transformations.
Returns the format of the image.
See also Image Formats.
Constructs a QImage from the first size bytes of the given binary data. 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.
See also load(), save(), and Reading and Writing Image Files.
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.
Loads an image from the given QByteArray data.
Returns true if the image has a format that respects the alpha channel, otherwise returns false.
See also alphaChannel() and Image Information.
Returns the height of the image.
See also Image Information.
Inverts all pixel values in the image.
The given invert mode only have a meaning when the image's depth is 32. The default mode is InvertRgb, which leaves the alpha channel unchanged. If the mode 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 Image Transformations.
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.
See also allGray() and Image Formats.
Returns true if it is a null image, otherwise returns false.
A null image has all parameters set to zero and no allocated data.
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 not specified (which is the default), 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 Resource System overview for details on how to embed images and other resource files in the application's executable.
See also Reading and Writing Image Files.

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.
Loads an image from the given QByteArray data.
Returns a mirror of the image, mirrored in the horizontal and/or the vertical direction depending on whether horizontal and vertical are set to true or false.
Note that the original image is not changed.
See also Image Transformations.
Returns the number of bytes occupied by the image data.
See also bytesPerLine(), bits(), and Image Information.
Returns the size of the color table for the image.
Notice that numColors() returns 0 for 32-bpp images because these images do not use color tables, but instead encode pixel values as ARGB quadruplets.
See also setNumColors() and Image Information.
Returns the number of pixels by which the image is intended to be offset by when positioning relative to other images.
See also setOffset() and Image Information.
Returns the color of the pixel at the given coordinates.
If (x, y) is not valid, the results are undefined.
See also setPixel(), valid(), and Pixel Manipulation.
Returns the pixel index at the given coordinates.
If (x, y) is not valid, or if the image is not a paletted image (depth() > 8), the results are undefined.
See also valid(), depth(), and Pixel Manipulation.

Returns true if the image was successfully saved; otherwise returns false.
See also Reading and Writing Image Files.
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.
This function writes a QImage to the given device.
This can, for example, be used to save an image directly into a QByteArray:
QImage image;
QByteArray ba;
QBuffer buffer(&ba);
buffer.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly);
image.save(&buffer, "PNG"); // writes image into ba in PNG format
Returns a copy of the image scaled to a rectangle defined by the given size according to the given aspectRatioMode and transformMode.

See also isNull() and Image Transformations.
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.
Returns a copy of the image scaled to a rectangle with the given width and height according to the given aspectRatioMode and transformMode.
If either the width or the height is zero or negative, this function returns a null image.
Returns a scaled copy of the image. The returned image is scaled to the given height using the specified transformation mode.
This function automatically calculates the width of the image so that the ratio of the image is preserved.
If the given height is 0 or negative, a null image is returned.
See also Image Transformations.
Returns a scaled copy of the image. The returned image is scaled to the given width using the specified transformation mode.

See also Image Transformations.
Returns a pointer to the pixel data at the scanline with index i. The first scanline is at index 0.
The scanline data is aligned on a 32-bit boundary.
Warning: If you are accessing 32-bpp image data, cast the returned pointer to QRgb* (QRgb has a 32-bit size) and use it to read/write the pixel value. You cannot use the uchar* pointer directly, because the pixel format depends on the byte order on the underlying platform. Use qRed(), qGreen(), qBlue(), and qAlpha() to access the pixels.
See also bytesPerLine(), bits(), and Pixel Manipulation.
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.
Returns a number that uniquely identifies the contents of this QImage object.
This means that multiple QImage objects can only have the same serial number as long as they refer to the same contents. A null image has always a serial number of 0.
The serial number is useful is when caching QImages.
See also Image Information.
Sets the alpha channel of this image to the given alphaChannel.
If alphaChannel is an 8 bit grayscale image, the intensity values are written into this buffer directly. Otherwise, alphaChannel is converted to 32 bit and the intensity of the RGB pixel values is used.
Note that the image will be converted to the Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied format if the function succeeds.
See also alphaChannel(), Image Transformations, and Image Formats.

Together with dotsPerMeterY(), this number defines the intended scale and aspect ratio of the image.
See also dotsPerMeterX() and Image Information.
Sets the number of pixels that fit vertically in a physical meter, to y.
Together with dotsPerMeterX(), this number defines the intended scale and aspect ratio of the image.
See also dotsPerMeterY() and Image Information.
Resizes the color table to contain numColors entries.
If the color table is expanded, all the extra colors will be set to transparent (i.e qRgba(0, 0, 0, 0)).
See also numColors(), colorTable(), and Image Transformations.
Sets the the number of pixels by which the image is intended to be offset by when positioning relative to other images, to offset.
See also offset() and Image Information.
Sets the pixel index or color at the coordinates (x, y) 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.
If (x, y) is not valid coordinates in the image, or if index_or_rgb >= numColors() in the case of monochrome and 8-bit images, the result is undefined.
See also pixel() and Pixel Manipulation.
Sets the image text to the given text 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().
See also text() and textKeys().
Returns the size of the image, i.e. its width() and height().
See also Image Information.
Returns the image text associated with the given key. If the specified key is an empty string, the whole image text is returned, with each key-text pair separated by a newline.
See also setText() and textKeys().
Returns the text keys for this image.
You can use these keys with text() to list the image text for a certain key.
See also text().
Returns a copy of the image that is transformed using the given transformation matrix and transformation mode.
The transformation matrix is internally adjusted to compensate for unwanted translation; i.e. the image produced is the smallest image that contains all the transformed points of the original image. Use the trueMatrix() function to retrieve the actual matrix used for transforming an image
See also trueMatrix() and Image Transformations.
Returns the actual matrix used for transforming an image with the given width, height and matrix.
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.
See also transformed() and Image Transformations.
Returns true if (x, y) is valid coordinates within the image; otherwise returns false.
Returns the width of the image.
See also Image Information.

The comparison can be slow, unless there is some obvious difference, such as different widths, in which case the function will return quickly.
See also operator=().
Assigns a shallow copy of the given image to this image and returns a reference to this image.
For more information about shallow copies, see the Implicit Data Sharing documentation.
