Class QRegion

    public class QRegion

extends QtJambiObject
implements java.lang.Cloneable

The `QRegion` class specifies a clip region for a painter. `QRegion` is used with `QPainter::setClipRegion()` to limit the paint area to what needs to be painted. There is also a `QWidget::repaint()` function that takes a `QRegion` parameter. `QRegion` is the best tool for reducing flicker.

A region can be created from a rectangle, an ellipse, a polygon or a bitmap. Complex regions may be created by combining simple regions using `united()`, `intersected()`, `subtracted()`, or `xored()` (exclusive or). You can move a region using `translate()`.

You can test whether a region `isEmpty()` or if it `contains()` a `QPoint` or `QRect`. The bounding rectangle can be found with `boundingRect()`.

The function `rects()` gives a decomposition of the region into rectangles.

Example of using complex regions:

        protected void paintEvent(QPaintEvent e) {
            // r1: elliptic region
            QRegion r1 = new QRegion(new QRect(100, 100, 200, 80),
                                     QRegion.RegionType.Ellipse);

            // r2: rectangular region
            QRegion r2 = new QRegion(new QRect(100, 120, 90, 30));

            // r3: intersection
            QRegion r3 = r1.intersected(r2);

            QPainter painter = new QPainter(this);
            painter.setClipRegion(r3);

            // paint clipped graphics
        }

`QRegion` is an implicitly shared class.

Warning: Due to window system limitations, the whole coordinate space for a region is limited to the points between -32767 and 32767 on Windows 95/98/ME. You can circumvent this limitation by using a `QPainterPath`.

Constructor Detail

### QRegion

    public QRegion()

  Constructs an empty region.

See also:
  `isEmpty()`.

### QRegion

    public QRegion(QBitmap bitmap)

  Constructs a region from the bitmap `bm`.

  The resulting region consists of the pixels in bitmap `bm` that are `Qt::color1` , as if each pixel was a 1 by 1 rectangle.

  This constructor may create complex regions that will slow down painting when used. Note that drawing masked pixmaps can be done much faster using `QPixmap::setMask()`.

### QRegion

    public QRegion(QPolygon pa)

  Constructs a polygon region from the point array `a` with the fill rule specified by `fillRule`.

  If `fillRule` is `Qt::WindingFill` , the polygon region is defined using the winding algorithm; if it is `Qt::OddEvenFill` , the odd-even fill algorithm is used.

  Warning: This constructor can be used to create complex regions that will slow down painting when used.

### QRegion

    public QRegion(QPolygon pa,
                   Qt.FillRule fillRule)

  Constructs a polygon region from the point array `a` with the fill rule specified by `fillRule`.

  If `fillRule` is `Qt::WindingFill` , the polygon region is defined using the winding algorithm; if it is `Qt::OddEvenFill` , the odd-even fill algorithm is used.

  Warning: This constructor can be used to create complex regions that will slow down painting when used.

### QRegion

    public QRegion(QRect r)

  Create a region based on the rectange `r` with region type `t`.

  If the rectangle is invalid a null region will be created.

See also:

### QRegion

    public QRegion(QRect r,
                   QRegion.RegionType t)

                   int h)

  Constructs a rectangular or elliptic region.

  If `t` is `Rectangle`, the region is the filled rectangle (`x`, `y`, `w`, `h`). If `t` is `Ellipse`, the region is the filled ellipse with center at (`x` + `w` / 2, `y` + `h` / 2) and size (`w` ,`h`).

### QRegion

    public QRegion(int x,
                   int y,
