DESCRIPTION
The QRect class defines a rectangle in the plane.

A rectangle is internally represented as an upper left corner and a bottom right corner, but it is normally expressed as an upper left corner and a size.

The coordinate type is QCOORD (defined in qwindowdefs.h as int). The minimum value of QCOORD is QCOORD_MIN (-2147483648) and the maximum value is QCOORD_MAX (2147483647).

Note that the size (width and height) of a rectangle might be different from what you are used to. If the top left corner and the bottom right corner are the same, then the height and the width of the rectangle will both be 1.

Generally, width = right - left + 1 and height = bottom - top + 1. We designed it this way to make it correspond to rectangular spaces used by drawing functions, where the width and height denote a number of pixels. For example, drawing a rectangle with width and height 1 draws a single pixel.

The default coordinate system has origin (0,0) in the top left corner, the positive direction of the y axis is downwards and the positive x axis is from the left to the right.

See also QPoint and QSize.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

QRect::QRect ()
Constructs an invalid rectangle.

QRect::QRect ( const QPoint & topLeft, const QPoint & bottomRight )
Constructs a rectangle with topLeft as the top left corner and bottomRight as the bottom right corner.

QRect::QRect ( const QPoint & topLeft, const QSize & size )
Constructs a rectangle with topLeft as the top left corner and size as the rectangle size.

QRect::QRect ( int left, int top, int width, int height )
Constructs a rectangle with the top, left corner and width and height.

Example (creates three identical rectangles):

    QRect r1( QPoint(100,200), QPoint(110,215) );
    QRect r2( QPoint(100,200), QSize(11,16) );
    QRect r3( 100, 200, 11, 16 );

int QRect::bottom () const
Returns the bottom coordinate of the rectangle.

See also top(), setBottom(), bottomLeft() and bottomRight().

Examples: desktop/desktop.cpp

QPoint QRect::bottomLeft () const
Returns the bottom left position of the rectangle.

See also moveBottomLeft(), bottomRight(), topLeft(), topRight(), bottom() and left().

QPoint QRect::bottomRight () const
Returns the bottom right position of the rectangle.

See also moveBottomRight(), bottomLeft(), topLeft(), topRight(), bottom() and right().

QPoint QRect::center () const
Returns the center point of the rectangle.

See also moveCenter(), topLeft(), topRight(), bottomLeft() and bottomRight().

bool QRect::contains ( const QPoint & p, bool proper=FALSE ) const
Returns TRUE if the point p is inside or on the edge of the rectangle.

If proper is TRUE, this function returns TRUE only if p is inside (not on the edge).

bool QRect::contains ( const QRect & r, bool proper=FALSE ) const
Returns TRUE if the rectangle r is inside this rectangle.

If proper is TRUE, this function returns TRUE only if r is entirely inside (not on the edge).

See also unite(), intersect() and intersects().

bool QRect::contains ( int x, int y, bool proper=FALSE ) const
\overload bool QRect::contains( const QPoint &p, bool proper ) const.

void QRect::coords ( int * xp1, int * yp1, int * xp2, int * yp2 ) const
Extracts the rectangle parameters as the top left point and the bottom right point.

See also setCoords() and rect().

int QRect::height () const
Returns the height of the rectangle. The height includes both the top and bottom edges, ie. height = bottom - top + 1.

See also width(), size() and setHeight().

Examples: xform/xform.cpp desktop/desktop.cpp movies/main.cpp

QRect QRect::intersect ( const QRect & r ) const
 r.intersect(s)
is equivalent to

 r&s

bool QRect::intersects ( const QRect & r ) const
Returns TRUE if this rectangle intersects with r (there is at least one pixel which is within both rectangles).

See also intersect() and contains().

bool QRect::isEmpty () const
Returns TRUE if the rectangle is empty, otherwise FALSE.

An empty rectangle has a left() > right() or top() > bottom().

An empty rectangle is not valid.

 isEmpty() == !isValid()

See also isNull() and isValid().

bool QRect::isNull () const
Returns TRUE if the rectangle is a null rectangle, otherwise FALSE.

A null rectangle has both the width and the height set to 0, that is right() == left() - 1 and bottom() == top() - 1.

Remember that if right() == left() and bottom() == top(), then the rectangle has width 1 and height 1.

A null rectangle is also empty.

A null rectangle is not valid.

See also isEmpty() and isValid().

bool QRect::isValid () const
Returns TRUE if the rectangle is valid, or FALSE if it is invalid (empty).

A valid rectangle has a left() <= right() and top() <= bottom().

 isValid() == !isEmpty()

See also isNull(), isEmpty() and normalize().

int QRect::left () const
Returns the left coordinate of the rectangle. Identical to x().

See also x(), top(), right(), setLeft(), topLeft() and bottomLeft().

Examples: xform/xform.cpp desktop/desktop.cpp

void QRect::moveBottomLeft ( const QPoint & p )
Sets the bottom left position of the rectangle to p, leaving the size unchanged.

See also bottomLeft(), moveBottomRight(), moveTopLeft(), moveTopRight(), setBottom() and setLeft().

void QRect::moveBottomRight ( const QPoint & p )
Sets the bottom right position of the rectangle to p, leaving the size unchanged.

See also bottomRight(), moveBottomLeft(), moveTopLeft(), moveTopRight(), setBottom() and setRight().

void QRect::moveBy ( int dx, int dy )
Moves the rectangle dx along the X axis and dy along the Y axis, relative to the current position. (Positive values moves the rectangle rightwards and/or downwards.).

Examples: xform/xform.cpp

void QRect::moveCenter ( const QPoint & p )
Sets the center point of the rectangle to p, leaving the size unchanged.

See also center(), moveTopLeft(), moveTopRight(), moveBottomLeft() and moveBottomRight().

void QRect::moveTopLeft ( const QPoint & p )
Sets the top left position of the rectangle to p, leaving the size unchanged.

See also topLeft(), moveTopRight(), moveBottomLeft(), moveBottomRight(), setTop() and setLeft().

Examples: xform/xform.cpp

void QRect::moveTopRight ( const QPoint & p )
Sets the top right position of the rectangle to p, leaving the size unchanged.

See also topRight(), moveTopLeft(), moveBottomLeft(), moveBottomRight(), setTop() and setRight().

QRect QRect::normalize () const
Returns a normalized rectangle, i.e. one that has a non-negative width and height.

It swaps left and right if left() > right(), and swaps top and bottom if top() > bottom().
