|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The QPixmapCache class provides an application-global cache for
|
|
pixmaps.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> This class is a tool for optimized drawing with <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a>. You can
|
|
use it to store temporary pixmaps that are expensive to generate
|
|
without using more storage space than <a href="#cacheLimit">cacheLimit</a>(). Use <a href="#insert">insert</a>()
|
|
to insert pixmaps, <a href="#find">find</a>() to find them and <a href="#clear">clear</a>() to empty the
|
|
cache.
|
|
<p> For example, <a href="qradiobutton.html">QRadioButton</a> has a non-trivial visual representation
|
|
so we don't want to regenerate a pixmap whenever a radio button is
|
|
displayed or changes state. In the function
|
|
<a href="qbutton.html#drawButton">QRadioButton::drawButton</a>(), we do not draw the radio button
|
|
directly. Instead, we first check the global pixmap cache for a
|
|
pixmap with the key "$qt_radio_nnn_", where <tt>nnn</tt> is a numerical
|
|
value that specifies the the radio button state. If a pixmap is
|
|
found, we <a href="qimage.html#bitBlt">bitBlt</a>() it onto the widget and return. Otherwise, we
|
|
create a new pixmap, draw the radio button in the pixmap, and
|
|
finally insert the pixmap in the global pixmap cache, using the
|
|
key above. The bitBlt() is ten times faster than drawing the
|
|
radio button. All radio buttons in the program share the cached
|
|
pixmap since QPixmapCache is application-global.
|
|
<p> QPixmapCache contains no member data, only static functions to
|
|
access the global pixmap cache. It creates an internal <a href="qcache.html">QCache</a> for
|
|
caching the pixmaps.
|
|
<p> The cache associates a pixmap with a string (key). If two pixmaps
|
|
are inserted into the cache using equal keys, then the last pixmap
|
|
will hide the first pixmap. The <a href="qdict.html">QDict</a> and QCache classes do
|
|
exactly the same.
|
|
<p> The cache becomes full when the total size of all pixmaps in the
|
|
cache exceeds <a href="#cacheLimit">cacheLimit</a>(). The initial cache limit is 1024 KByte
|
|
(1 MByte); it is changed with <a href="#setCacheLimit">setCacheLimit</a>(). A pixmap takes
|
|
roughly width*height*depth/8 bytes of memory.
|
|
<p> See the <a href="qcache.html">QCache</a> documentation for more details about the cache
|
|
mechanism.
|
|
<p>See also <a href="environment.html">Environment Classes</a>, <a href="graphics.html">Graphics Classes</a>, and <a href="images.html">Image Processing Classes</a>.

<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
|
|
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="cacheLimit"></a>QPixmapCache::cacheLimit ()<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns the cache limit (in kilobytes).
|
|
<p> The default setting is 1024 kilobytes.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setCacheLimit">setCacheLimit</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clear"></a>QPixmapCache::clear ()<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Removes all pixmaps from the cache.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> * <a name="find"></a>QPixmapCache::find ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & key )<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns the pixmap associated with the <em>key</em> in the cache, or
|
|
null if there is no such pixmap.
|
|
<p> <b>Warning:</b> If valid, you should copy the pixmap immediately (this is
|
|
fast). Subsequent insertions into the cache could cause the
|
|
pointer to become invalid. For this reason, we recommend you use
|
|
<a href="#find">find</a>(const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&, <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a>&) instead.
|
|
<p> Example:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a>* pp;
|
|
<a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> p;
|
|
if ( (pp=QPixmapCache::<a href="#find">find</a>("my_big_image", pm)) ) {
|
|
p = *pp;
|
|
} else {
|
|
p.<a href="qpixmap.html#load">load</a>("bigimage.png");
|
|
QPixmapCache::<a href="#insert">insert</a>("my_big_image", new <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a>(p));
|
|
}
|
|
painter->drawPixmap(0, 0, p);
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="find-2"></a>QPixmapCache::find ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & key, <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> & pm )<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
<p> Looks for a cached pixmap associated with the <em>key</em> in the cache.
|
|
If a pixmap is found, the function sets <em>pm</em> to that pixmap and
|
|
returns TRUE; otherwise leaves <em>pm</em> alone and returns FALSE.
|
|
<p> Example:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> p;
|
|
if ( !QPixmapCache::find("my_big_image", pm) ) {
|
|
pm.load("bigimage.png");
|
|
QPixmapCache::<a href="#insert">insert</a>("my_big_image", pm);
|
|
}
|
|
painter->drawPixmap(0, 0, p);
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="insert"></a>QPixmapCache::insert ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & key, const <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> & pm )<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Inserts a copy of the pixmap <em>pm</em> associated with the <em>key</em> into
|
|
the cache.
|
|
<p> All pixmaps inserted by the Qt library have a key starting with
|
|
"$qt", so your own pixmap keys should never begin "$qt".
|
|
<p> When a pixmap is inserted and the cache is about to exceed its
|
|
limit, it removes pixmaps until there is enough room for the
|
|
pixmap to be inserted.
|
|
<p> The oldest pixmaps (least recently accessed in the cache) are
|
|
deleted when more space is needed.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setCacheLimit">setCacheLimit</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="insert-2"></a>QPixmapCache::insert ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & key, <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> * pm )<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<b>This function is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
|
|
<p> Inserts the pixmap <em>pm</em> associated with <em>key</em> into the cache.
|
|
Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE if the pixmap is too big for the cache.
|
|
<p> <strong>
|
|
Note: <em>pm</em> must be allocated on the heap (using <tt>new</tt>).
|
|
<p> If this function returns FALSE, you must delete <em>pm</em> yourself.
|
|
<p> If this function returns TRUE, do not use <em>pm</em> afterwards or
|
|
keep references to it because any other insertions into the cache,
|
|
whether from anywhere in the application or within Qt itself, could cause
|
|
the pixmap to be discarded from the cache and the pointer to
|
|
become invalid.
|
|
<p> Due to these dangers, we strongly recommend that you use
|
|
<a href="#insert">insert</a>(const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&, const <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a>&) instead.

|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="remove"></a>QPixmapCache::remove ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & key )<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Removes the pixmap associated with <em>key</em> from the cache.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setCacheLimit"></a>QPixmapCache::setCacheLimit ( int n )<tt> [static]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Sets the cache limit to <em>n</em> kilobytes.
|
|
<p> The default setting is 1024 kilobytes.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#cacheLimit">cacheLimit</a>().
