Detailed Description

Base class for visual effects which can be applied to QPicture drawings.

QgsPaintEffect objects can be used to modify QPicture drawings prior to rendering them with a QPainter operation. There are two methods for drawing using an effect, either drawing a picture directly, or by intercepting drawing operations to a render context.

To directly draw a picture, use the render method with a source QPicture and destination render context.

Intercepting drawing operations to a render context is achieved by first calling the begin method, passing a render context. Any drawing operations performed on the render context will not directly affect the context's paint device. When the drawing operations have been completed, call the end method. This will perform the paint effect on the intercepted drawing operations and render the result to the render context's paint device.

Drawing modes for effects.

These modes are used only when effects are drawn as part of an effects stack

Enumerator
Modifier 

the result of the effect is not rendered, but is passed on to following effects in the stack

Render 

the result of the effect is rendered on the destination, but does not affect subsequent effects in the stack

ModifyAndRender 

the result of the effect is both rendered and passed on to subsequent effects in the stack

Member Function Documentation

void QgsPaintEffect::begin ( QgsRenderContext context)
virtual

Begins intercepting paint operations to a render context.

When the corresponding end member is called all intercepted paint operations will be drawn to the render context after being modified by the effect.

Parameters
contextdestination render context
See also
end
render

Definition at line 137 of file qgspainteffect.cpp.

QRectF QgsPaintEffect::boundingRect ( const QRectF rect,
const QgsRenderContext context 
) const
protectedvirtual

Returns the bounding rect required for drawing the effect.

This method can be used to expand the bounding rect of a source picture to account for offset or blurring effects.

Parameters
rectoriginal source bounding rect
contextdestination render context
Returns
modified bounding rect

sourceAsImage

Reimplemented in QgsTransformEffect, QgsGlowEffect, QgsShadowEffect, and QgsBlurEffect.

Definition at line 218 of file qgspainteffect.cpp.

virtual QgsPaintEffect* QgsPaintEffect::clone ( ) const
pure virtual

Duplicates an effect by creating a deep copy of the effect.

Returns
clone of paint effect

Implemented in QgsInnerGlowEffect, QgsDrawSourceEffect, QgsOuterGlowEffect, QgsInnerShadowEffect, QgsDropShadowEffect, QgsEffectStack, QgsBlurEffect, QgsTransformEffect, and QgsColorEffect.

virtual void QgsPaintEffect::draw ( QgsRenderContext context)
protectedpure virtual

Handles drawing of the effect's result on to the specified render context.

Derived classes must reimplement this method to apply any transformations to the source QPicture and draw the result using the context's painter.

Parameters
contextdestination render context
See also
drawSource

Implemented in QgsDrawSourceEffect, QgsTransformEffect, QgsGlowEffect, QgsColorEffect, QgsShadowEffect, QgsEffectStack, and QgsBlurEffect.

DrawMode QgsPaintEffect::drawMode ( ) const
inline

Returns the draw mode for the effect.

This property only has an effect if the paint effect is used in a QgsEffectStack

Returns
draw mode for effect
See also
setDrawMode

Definition at line 151 of file qgspainteffect.h.

void QgsPaintEffect::drawSource ( QPainter painter)
protected

Draws the source QPicture onto the specified painter.

Handles scaling of the picture to account for the destination painter's DPI.

Parameters
painterdestination painter

void QgsPaintEffect::end ( QgsRenderContext context)
virtual

Ends interception of paint operations to a render context, and draws the result to the render context after being modified by the effect.

void QgsPaintEffect::fixQPictureDpi ( QPainter painter) const

Applies a workaround to a QPainter to avoid an issue with incorrect scaling when drawing QPictures.

This may need to be called by derived classes prior to rendering results onto a painter.

Parameters
