+<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
+
+
+The TQPixmap class is an off-screen, pixel-based paint device.
+<p>
+
+
+
+<p> TQPixmap is one of the two classes TQt provides for dealing with
+images; the other is <a href="ntqimage.html">TQImage</a>. TQPixmap is designed and optimized
+for drawing; TQImage is designed and optimized for I/O and for
+direct pixel access/manipulation. There are (slow) functions to
+convert between TQImage and TQPixmap: <a href="#convertToImage">convertToImage</a>() and
+<a href="#convertFromImage">convertFromImage</a>().
+<p> One common use of the TQPixmap class is to enable smooth updating
+of widgets. Whenever something complex needs to be drawn, you can
+use a pixmap to obtain flicker-free drawing, like this:
+<p> <ol type=1>
+<li> Create a pixmap with the same size as the widget.
+<li> Fill the pixmap with the widget background color.
+<li> Paint the pixmap.
+<li> <a href="ntqpaintdevice.html#bitBlt">bitBlt</a>() the pixmap contents onto the widget.
+</ol>
+<p> Pixel data in a pixmap is internal and is managed by the
+underlying window system. Pixels can be accessed only through
+<a href="ntqpainter.html">TQPainter</a> functions, through bitBlt(), and by converting the
+TQPixmap to a TQImage.
+<p> You can easily display a TQPixmap on the screen using
+<a href="ntqlabel.html#setPixmap">TQLabel::setPixmap</a>(). For example, all the <a href="ntqbutton.html">TQButton</a> subclasses
+support pixmap use.
+<p> The TQPixmap class uses <a href="shclass.html">copy-on-write</a>,
+so it is practical to pass TQPixmap objects by value.
+<p> You can retrieve the <a href="#width">width</a>(), <a href="#height">height</a>(), <a href="#depth">depth</a>() and <a href="#size">size</a>() of a
+pixmap. The enclosing rectangle is given by <a href="#rect">rect</a>(). Pixmaps can be
+filled with <a href="#fill">fill</a>() and resized with <a href="#resize">resize</a>(). You can create and
+set a mask with <a href="#createHeuristicMask">createHeuristicMask</a>() and <a href="#setMask">setMask</a>(). Use
+<a href="#selfMask">selfMask</a>() to see if the pixmap is identical to its mask.
+<p> In addition to loading a pixmap from file using <a href="#load">load</a>() you can
+also <a href="#loadFromData">loadFromData</a>(). You can control optimization with
+<a href="#setOptimization">setOptimization</a>() and obtain a transformed version of the pixmap
+using <a href="#xForm">xForm</a>()
+<p> Note regarding Windows 95 and 98: on Windows 9x the system crashes
+if you create more than about 1000 pixmaps, independent of the
+size of the pixmaps or installed RAM. Windows NT-systems (including
+2000, XP and following versions) do not have the same limitation,
+but depending on the graphics etquipment the system will fail to
+allocate pixmap objects at some point (due to system running out of
+GDI resources).
+<p> TQt tries to work around the resource limitation. If you set the
+pixmap optimization to <a href="#Optimization-enum">TQPixmap::MemoryOptim</a> and the width of
+your pixmap is less than or equal to 128 pixels, TQt stores the
+pixmap in a way that is very memory-efficient when there are many
+pixmaps.
+<p> If your application uses dozens or hundreds of pixmaps (for
+example on tool bar buttons and in popup menus), and you plan to
+run it on Windows 95 or Windows 98, we recommend using code like
+this:
+<p> <pre>
+ TQPixmap::<a href="#setDefaultOptimization">setDefaultOptimization</a>( TQPixmap::<a href="#Optimization-enum">MemoryOptim</a> );
+ while ( ... ) {
+ // load tool bar pixmaps etc.
+ TQPixmap *pixmap = new TQPixmap(fileName);
+ }
+ TQPixmap::<a href="#setDefaultOptimization">setDefaultOptimization</a>( TQPixmap::<a href="#Optimization-enum">NormalOptim</a> );
+ </pre>
+
+<p> In general it is recommended to make as much use of TQPixmap's
+<a href="shclass.html#implicit-sharing">implicit sharing</a> and the <a href="ntqpixmapcache.html">TQPixmapCache</a> as possible.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="ntqbitmap.html">TQBitmap</a>, <a href="ntqimage.html">TQImage</a>, <a href="qimageio.html">TQImageIO</a>, <a href="shclass.html">Shared Classes</a>, <a href="graphics.html">Graphics Classes</a>, <a href="images.html">Image Processing Classes</a>, and <a href="shared.html">Implicitly and Explicitly Shared Classes</a>.
+
+<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2>
+<h3 class=fn><a name="ColorMode-enum"></a>TQPixmap::ColorMode</h3>
+
+<p> This enum type defines the color modes that exist for converting
+<a href="ntqimage.html">TQImage</a> objects to TQPixmap.
+<ul>
+<li><tt>TQPixmap::Auto</tt> - Select <a href="#ColorMode-enum">Color</a> or <a href="#ColorMode-enum">Mono</a> on a case-by-case basis.
+<li><tt>TQPixmap::Color</tt> - Always create colored pixmaps.
+<li><tt>TQPixmap::Mono</tt> - Always create bitmaps.
+</ul>
+<h3 class=fn><a name="Optimization-enum"></a>TQPixmap::Optimization</h3>
+
+<p> TQPixmap has the choice of optimizing for speed or memory in a few
+places; the best choice varies from pixmap to pixmap but can
+generally be derived heuristically. This enum type defines a
+number of optimization modes that you can set for any pixmap to
+tweak the speed/memory tradeoffs:
+<ul>
+<li><tt>TQPixmap::DefaultOptim</tt> - Whatever <a href="#defaultOptimization">TQPixmap::defaultOptimization</a>()
+returns. A pixmap with this optimization will have whatever
+the current default optimization is. If the default
+optimization is changed using <a href="#setDefaultOptimization">setDefaultOptimization</a>(), then
+this will not effect any pixmaps that have already been
+created.
+<li><tt>TQPixmap::NoOptim</tt> - No optimization (currently the same as <a href="#Optimization-enum">MemoryOptim</a>).
+<li><tt>TQPixmap::MemoryOptim</tt> - Optimize for minimal memory use on Windows
+9x and X11 systems.
+<li><tt>TQPixmap::NormalOptim</tt> - Optimize for typical usage. Often uses more
+memory than <a href="#Optimization-enum">MemoryOptim</a>, and is often faster.
+<li><tt>TQPixmap::BestOptim</tt> - Optimize for pixmaps that are drawn very often
+and where performance is critical. Generally uses more memory
+than <a href="#Optimization-enum">NormalOptim</a> and may provide a little more speed.
+</ul><p> We recommend using <a href="#Optimization-enum">DefaultOptim</a>.

+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQPixmap"></a>TQPixmap::TQPixmap ()
+</h3>
+Constructs a null pixmap.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#isNull">isNull</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQPixmap-2"></a>TQPixmap::TQPixmap ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqimage.html">TQImage</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;image )
+</h3>
+Constructs a pixmap from the <a href="ntqimage.html">TQImage</a> <em>image</em>.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#convertFromImage">convertFromImage</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQPixmap-3"></a>TQPixmap::TQPixmap ( int&nbsp;w, int&nbsp;h, int&nbsp;depth = -1, <a href="ntqpixmap.html#Optimization-enum">Optimization</a>&nbsp;optimization = DefaultOptim )
+</h3>
+Constructs a pixmap with <em>w</em> width, <em>h</em> height and <em>depth</em> bits
+per pixel. The pixmap is optimized in accordance with the <em>optimization</em> value.
+<p> The contents of the pixmap is uninitialized.
+<p> The <em>depth</em> can be either 1 (monochrome) or the depth of the
+current video mode. If <em>depth</em> is negative, then the hardware
+depth of the current video mode will be used.
+<p> If either <em>w</em> or <em>h</em> is zero, a null pixmap is constructed.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#isNull">isNull</a>() and <a href="#Optimization-enum">TQPixmap::Optimization</a>.
+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQPixmap-4"></a>TQPixmap::TQPixmap ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqsize.html">TQSize</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;size, int&nbsp;depth = -1, <a href="ntqpixmap.html#Optimization-enum">Optimization</a>&nbsp;optimization = DefaultOptim )
+</h3>
+This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
+<p> Constructs a pixmap of size <em>size</em>, <em>depth</em> bits per pixel,
+optimized in accordance with the <em>optimization</em> value.
+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQPixmap-5"></a>TQPixmap::TQPixmap ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;fileName, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;format = 0, <a href="ntqpixmap.html#ColorMode-enum">ColorMode</a>&nbsp;mode = Auto )
+</h3>
+Constructs a pixmap from the file <em>fileName</em>. If the file does
+not exist or is of an unknown format, the pixmap becomes a null
+pixmap.
+<p> The <em>fileName</em>, <em>format</em> and <em>mode</em> parameters are passed on to
+<a href="#load">load</a>(). This means that the data in <em>fileName</em> is not compiled
+into the binary. If <em>fileName</em> contains a relative path (e.g. the
+filename only) the relevant file must be found relative to the
+runtime working directory.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#ColorMode-enum">TQPixmap::ColorMode</a>, <a href="#isNull">isNull</a>(), <a href="#load">load</a>(), <a href="#loadFromData">loadFromData</a>(), <a href="#save">save</a>(), and <a href="#imageFormat">imageFormat</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQPixmap-6"></a>TQPixmap::TQPixmap ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;fileName, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;format, int&nbsp;conversion_flags )
+</h3>
+Constructs a pixmap from the file <em>fileName</em>. If the file does
+not exist or is of an unknown format, the pixmap becomes a null
+pixmap.
+<p> The <em>fileName</em>, <em>format</em> and <em>conversion_flags</em> parameters are
+passed on to <a href="#load">load</a>(). This means that the data in <em>fileName</em> is
+not compiled into the binary. If <em>fileName</em> contains a relative
+path (e.g. the filename only) the relevant file must be found
+relative to the runtime working directory.
+<p> If the image needs to be modified to fit in a lower-resolution
+result (e.g. converting from 32-bit to 8-bit), use the <em>conversion_flags</em> to specify how you'd prefer this to happen.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="ntqt.html#ImageConversionFlags-enum">TQt::ImageConversionFlags</a>, <a href="#isNull">isNull</a>(), <a href="#load">load</a>(), <a href="#loadFromData">loadFromData</a>(), <a href="#save">save</a>(), and <a href="#imageFormat">imageFormat</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQPixmap-7"></a>TQPixmap::TQPixmap ( const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;xpm[] )
+</h3>
+Constructs a pixmap from <em>xpm</em>, which must be a valid XPM image.
+<p> Errors are silently ignored.
+<p> Note that it's possible to squeeze the XPM variable a little bit
+by using an unusual declaration:
+<p> <pre>
+ static const char * const start_xpm[]={
+ "16 15 8 1",
+ "a c #cec6bd",
+ ....
+ </pre>
+
+<p> The extra <tt>const</tt> makes the entire definition read-only, which is
+slightly more efficient (for example, when the code is in a shared
+library) and ROMable when the application is to be stored in ROM.
+<p> In order to use that sort of declaration you must cast the
+variable back to <tt>const char **</tt> when you create the TQPixmap.
+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQPixmap-8"></a>TQPixmap::TQPixmap ( const&nbsp;<a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;img_data )
+</h3>
+Constructs a pixmaps by loading from <em>img_data</em>. The data can be
+in any image format supported by TQt.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#loadFromData">loadFromData</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQPixmap-9"></a>TQPixmap::TQPixmap ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqpixmap.html">TQPixmap</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;pixmap )
+</h3>
+Constructs a pixmap that is a copy of <em>pixmap</em>.
+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQPixmap-a"></a>TQPixmap::TQPixmap ( int&nbsp;w, int&nbsp;h, const&nbsp;uchar&nbsp;*&nbsp;bits, bool&nbsp;isXbitmap )<tt> [protected]</tt>
+</h3>
+Constructs a monochrome pixmap, with width <em>w</em> and height <em>h</em>,
+that is initialized with the data in <em>bits</em>. The <em>isXbitmap</em>
+indicates whether the data is an X bitmap and defaults to FALSE.
+This constructor is protected and used by the <a href="ntqbitmap.html">TQBitmap</a> class.
+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQPixmap"></a>TQPixmap::~TQPixmap ()
+</h3>
+Destroys the pixmap.
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="convertFromImage"></a>TQPixmap::convertFromImage ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqimage.html">TQImage</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;img, int&nbsp;conversion_flags )
+</h3>
+Converts image <em>img</em> and sets this pixmap. Returns TRUE if

+If the background is empty, nothing is done.
+<p> The <em>ofs</em> point is an offset in the widget.
+<p> The point <em>ofs</em> is a point in the widget's coordinate system. The

+</h3>
+Creates a pixmap and paints <em>widget</em> in it.
+<p> If the <em>widget</em> has any children, then they are also painted in

+<p> If you specify <em>x</em>, <em>y</em>, <em>w</em> or <em>h</em>, only the rectangle you
+specify is painted. The defaults are 0, 0 (top-left corner) and
+-1,-1 (which means the entire widget).
+<p> (If <em>w</em> is negative, the function copies everything to the right
+border of the window. If <em>h</em> is negative, the function copies
+everything to the bottom of the window.)
+<p> If <em>widget</em> is 0, or if the rectangle defined by <em>x</em>, <em>y</em>, the
+modified <em>w</em> and the modified <em>h</em> does not overlap the <em>widget</em>->rect(), this function will return a null TQPixmap.
+<p> This function actually asks <em>widget</em> to paint itself (and its
+children to paint themselves). <a href="#grabWindow">TQPixmap::grabWindow</a>() grabs pixels
+off the screen, which is a bit faster and picks up <em>exactly</em>
+what's on-screen. This function works by calling paintEvent() with

+<a href="#grabWindow">grabWindow</a>() will see them, but not this function.
+<p> If there is overlap, it returns a pixmap of the size you want,
+containing a rendering of <em>widget</em>. If the rectangle you ask for

+Grabs the contents of the window <em>window</em> and makes a pixmap out

+<p> The arguments <em>(x, y)</em> specify the offset in the window, whereas

+border of the window. If <em>h</em> is negative, the function copies
+everything to the bottom of the window.
+<p> Note that <a href="#grabWindow">grabWindow</a>() grabs pixels from the screen, not from the

+<p> Note also that the mouse cursor is generally not grabbed.
+<p> The reason we use a window identifier and not a <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> is to

+can be used, for example, to save a pixmap directly into a
+TQByteArray:
+<pre>
+ TQPixmap pixmap;
+ <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a> ba;
+ <a href="ntqbuffer.html">TQBuffer</a> buffer( ba );
+ buffer.<a href="ntqiodevice.html#open">open</a>( <a href="ntqfile.html#open">IO_WriteOnly</a> );
+ pixmap.<a href="#save">save</a>( &amp;buffer, "PNG" ); // writes pixmap into ba in PNG format
+ </pre>
+
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="selfMask"></a>TQPixmap::selfMask () const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns TRUE if the pixmap's mask is identical to the pixmap
+itself; otherwise returns FALSE.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#mask">mask</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>int <a name="serialNumber"></a>TQPixmap::serialNumber () const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns a number that uniquely identifies the contents of this
+TQPixmap object. This means that multiple TQPixmap objects can have
+the same serial number as long as they refer to the same contents.
+<p> An example of where this is useful is for caching TQPixmaps.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="ntqpixmapcache.html">TQPixmapCache</a>.
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setDefaultOptimization"></a>TQPixmap::setDefaultOptimization ( <a href="ntqpixmap.html#Optimization-enum">Optimization</a>&nbsp;optimization )<tt> [static]</tt>
+</h3>
+Sets the default pixmap optimization.
+<p> All <em>new</em> pixmaps that are created will use this default
+optimization. You may also set optimization for individual pixmaps
+using the <a href="#setOptimization">setOptimization</a>() function.
+<p> The initial default <em>optimization</em> setting is <tt>TQPixmap::Normal</tt>.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#defaultOptimization">defaultOptimization</a>(), <a href="#setOptimization">setOptimization</a>(), and <a href="#optimization">optimization</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setMask"></a>TQPixmap::setMask ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqbitmap.html">TQBitmap</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;newmask )
+</h3>
+Sets a mask bitmap.
+<p> The <em>newmask</em> bitmap defines the clip mask for this pixmap. Every
+pixel in <em>newmask</em> corresponds to a pixel in this pixmap. Pixel
+value 1 means opaque and pixel value 0 means transparent. The mask
+must have the same size as this pixmap.
+<p> <b>Warning:</b> Setting the mask on a pixmap will cause any alpha channel
+data to be cleared. For example:
+<pre>
+ TQPixmap alpha( "image-with-alpha.png" );
+ TQPixmap alphacopy = alpha;
+ alphacopy.<a href="#setMask">setMask</a>( *alphacopy.<a href="#mask">mask</a>() );
+ </pre>
+
+Now, alpha and alphacopy are visually different.
+<p> Setting a <a href="#isNull">null</a> mask resets the mask.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#mask">mask</a>(), <a href="#createHeuristicMask">createHeuristicMask</a>(), and <a href="ntqbitmap.html">TQBitmap</a>.
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setOptimization"></a>TQPixmap::setOptimization ( <a href="ntqpixmap.html#Optimization-enum">Optimization</a>&nbsp;optimization )
+</h3>
+Sets pixmap drawing optimization for this pixmap.
+<p> The <em>optimization</em> setting affects pixmap operations, in
+particular drawing of transparent pixmaps (<a href="ntqpaintdevice.html#bitBlt">bitBlt</a>() a pixmap with
+a mask set) and pixmap transformations (the <a href="#xForm">xForm</a>() function).
+<p> Pixmap optimization involves keeping intermediate results in a
+cache buffer and using the cache to speed up bitBlt() and xForm().
+The cost is more memory consumption, up to twice as much as an
+unoptimized pixmap.
+<p> Use the <a href="#setDefaultOptimization">setDefaultOptimization</a>() to change the default
+optimization for all new pixmaps.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#optimization">optimization</a>(), <a href="#setDefaultOptimization">setDefaultOptimization</a>(), and <a href="#defaultOptimization">defaultOptimization</a>().

+</h3>
+Returns the actual matrix used for transforming a pixmap with <em>w</em>
+width and <em>h</em> height and matrix <em>matrix</em>.
+<p> When transforming a pixmap with <a href="#xForm">xForm</a>(), the <a href="ntqwmatrix.html#TransformationMode">transformation matrix</a>
+is internally adjusted to compensate for unwanted translation,
+i.e. xForm() returns the smallest pixmap containing all
+transformed points of the original pixmap.
+<p> This function returns the modified matrix, which maps points
+correctly from the original pixmap into the new pixmap.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#xForm">xForm</a>() and <a href="ntqwmatrix.html">TQWMatrix</a>.
+
+<h3 class=fn>int <a name="width"></a>TQPixmap::width () const

+
+<p> Returns the width of the pixmap.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#height">height</a>(), <a href="#size">size</a>(), and <a href="#rect">rect</a>().

+<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqpixmap.html">TQPixmap</a> <a name="xForm"></a>TQPixmap::xForm ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqwmatrix.html">TQWMatrix</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;matrix ) const
+</h3>
+Returns a copy of the pixmap that is transformed using <em>matrix</em>.
+The original pixmap is not changed.
+<p> The transformation <em>matrix</em> is internally adjusted to compensate
+for unwanted translation, i.e. <a href="#xForm">xForm</a>() returns the smallest image
+that contains all the transformed points of the original image.
+<p> This function is slow because it involves transformation to a
+<a href="ntqimage.html">TQImage</a>, non-trivial computations and a transformation back to a
+TQPixmap.
