    public abstract class QStyle

extends QObject

The QStyle class is an abstract base class that encapsulates the look and feel of a GUI. Qt contains a set of QStyle subclasses that emulate the styles of the different platforms supported by Qt (`QWindowsStyle`, QMacStyle, `QMotifStyle`, etc.). By default, these styles are built into the QtGui library. Styles can also be made available as plugins.

Qt's built-in widgets use QStyle to perform nearly all of their drawing, ensuring that they look exactly like the equivalent native widgets. The diagram below shows a `QComboBox` in eight different styles.

Topics:

- Setting a Style
- Developing Style-Aware Custom Widgets
- Creating a Custom Style
- Using a Custom Style
- Right-to-Left Desktops
- Styles in Item Views

## Setting a Style

The style of the entire application can be set using the `QApplication::setStyle()` function. It can also be specified by the user of the application, using the `-style` command-line option:

            ./myapplication -style motif

If no style is specified, Qt will choose the most appropriate style for the user's platform or desktop environment.

A style can also be set on an individual widget using the `QWidget::setStyle()` function.

## Developing Style-Aware Custom Widgets

If you are developing custom widgets and want them to look good on all platforms, you can use QStyle functions to perform parts of the widget drawing, such as `drawItemText()`, `drawItemPixmap()`, `drawPrimitive()`, `drawControl()`, and `drawComplexControl()`.

Most QStyle draw functions take four arguments:

- an enum value specifying which graphical element to draw
- a `QStyleOption` specifying how and where to render that element
- a `QPainter` that should be used to draw the element
- a `QWidget` on which the drawing is performed (optional)

For example, if you want to draw a focus rectangle on your widget, you can write:

        protected void paintEvent(QPaintEvent event)

        {

            QPainter painter = new QPainter(this);

            QStyleOptionFocusRect option = new QStyleOptionFocusRect();
            option.initFrom(this);
            option.setBackgroundColor(palette().color(QPalette.ColorRole.Window));

            style().drawPrimitive(QStyle.PrimitiveElement.PE_FrameFocusRect,
                                  option, painter, this);

        }

QStyle gets all the information it needs to render the graphical element from `QStyleOption`. The widget is passed as the last argument in case the style needs it to perform special effects (such as animated default buttons on Mac OS X), but it isn't mandatory. In fact, you can use QStyle to draw on any paint device, not just widgets, by setting the `QPainter` properly.

`QStyleOption` has various subclasses for the various types of graphical elements that can be drawn. For example, `PE_FrameFocusRect` expects a `QStyleOptionFocusRect` argument.

To ensure that drawing operations are as fast as possible, `QStyleOption` and its subclasses have public data members. See the `QStyleOption` class documentation for details on how to use it.

For convenience, Qt provides the `QStylePainter` class, which combines a QStyle, a `QPainter`, and a `QWidget`. This makes it possible to write

            QStylePainter painter = new QStylePainter(this);
        ...
            painter.drawPrimitive(QStyle.PrimitiveElement.PE_FrameFocusRect, option);

instead of

            QPainter painter = new QPainter(this);
        ...
            style().drawPrimitive(QStyle.PrimitiveElement.PE_FrameFocusRect,
                                  option, painter, this);

## Creating a Custom Style

If you want to design a custom look and feel for your application, the first step is to pick one of the styles provided with Qt to build your custom style from. The choice will depend on which existing style resembles your style the most. The most general class that you can use as base is `QCommonStyle` (and not QStyle). This is because Qt requires its styles to be `QCommonStyle`s.

Depending on which parts of the base style you want to change, you must reimplement the functions that are used to draw those parts of the interface. To illustrate this, we will modify the look of the spin box arrows drawn by `QWindowsStyle`. The arrows are primitive elements that are drawn by the `drawPrimitive()` function, so we need to reimplement that function. We need the following class declaration:

    public class CustomStyle extends QWindowsStyle
    {
        public CustomStyle() { ... }

        public void drawPrimitive(QStyle.PrimitiveElement element, QStyleOption option,
                                  QPainter painter, QWidget widget)
        {
            ...
        }
    }

To draw its up and down arrows, `QSpinBox` uses the `PE_IndicatorSpinUp` and `PE_IndicatorSpinDown` primitive elements. Here's how to reimplement the `drawPrimitive()` function to draw them differently:

        public void drawPrimitive(QStyle.PrimitiveElement element, QStyleOption option,
                                  QPainter painter, QWidget widget)
        {
            if (element.equals(QStyle.PrimitiveElement.PE_IndicatorSpinUp) ||
                element.equals(QStyle.PrimitiveElement.PE_IndicatorSpinDown)) {
            QPolygon points = new QPolygon(3);
            int x = option.rect().x();
            int y = option.rect().y();
            int w = option.rect().width() / 2;
            int h = option.rect().height() / 2;
            x += (option.rect().width() - w) / 2;
            y += (option.rect().height() - h) / 2;

            if (element.equals(QStyle.PrimitiveElement.PE_IndicatorSpinUp)) {
                points.add(new QPoint(x, y + h));
                points.add(new QPoint(x + w, y + h));
                points.add(new QPoint(x + w / 2, y));
            } else { // PE_SpinBoxDown
                points.add(new QPoint(x, y));
                points.add(new QPoint(x + w, y));
                points.add(new QPoint(x + w / 2, y + h));
            }

            if (option.state().isSet(QStyle.StateFlag.State_Enabled)) {
                painter.setPen(option.palette().mid().color());
                painter.setBrush(option.palette().buttonText());
            } else {
                painter.setPen(option.palette().buttonText().color());
                painter.setBrush(option.palette().mid());
            }
            painter.drawPolygon(points);
            } else {
            super.drawPrimitive(element, option, painter, widget);

            }

        }

Notice that we don't use the `widget` argument, except to pass it on to the QWindowStyle::drawPrimitive() function. As mentioned earlier, the information about what is to be drawn and how it should be drawn is specified by a `QStyleOption` object, so there is no need to ask the widget.

If you need to use the `widget` argument to obtain additional information, be careful to ensure that it isn't 0 and that it is of the correct type before using it. For example:

            if (widget instanceof QSpinBox) {
                QSpinBox spinBox = (QSpinBox) widget;
        ...
            }

When implementing a custom style, you cannot assume that the widget is a `QSpinBox` just because the enum value is called `PE_IndicatorSpinUp` or `PE_IndicatorSpinDown` .

The documentation for the Styles example covers this topic in more detail.

Warning: Qt style sheets are currently not supported for custom QStyle subclasses. We plan to address this in some future release.

## Using a Custom Style

There are several ways of using a custom style in a Qt application. The simplest way is call the `QApplication::setStyle()` static function before creating the `QApplication` object:
The following code example is written in c++.

    #include <QtGui>

    #include "customstyle.h"

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        QApplication::setStyle(new CustomStyle);
        QApplication app(argc, argv);
        QSpinBox spinBox;
        spinBox.show();
        return app.exec();
    }

You can call `QApplication::setStyle()` at any time, but by calling it before the constructor, you ensure that the user's preference, set using the `-style` command-line option, is respected.

You may want to make your style available for use in other applications, some of which may not be yours and are not available for you to recompile. The Qt Plugin system makes it possible to create styles as plugins. Styles created as plugins are loaded as shared objects at runtime by Qt itself. Please refer to the Qt Plugin documentation for more information on how to go about creating a style plugin.

Compile your plugin and put it into Qt's `plugins/styles` directory. We now have a pluggable style that Qt can load automatically. To use your new style with existing applications, simply start the application with the following argument:

            ./myapplication -style custom

The application will use the look and feel from the custom style you implemented.

## Right-to-Left Desktops

Languages written from right to left (such as Arabic and Hebrew) usually also mirror the whole layout of widgets, and require the light to come from the screen's top-right corner instead of top-left.

If you create a custom style, you should take special care when drawing asymmetric elements to make sure that they also look correct in a mirrored layout. An easy way to test your styles is to run applications with the `-reverse` command-line option or to call `QApplication::setLayoutDirection()` in your `main()` function.

Here are some things to keep in mind when making a style work well in a right-to-left environment:

- `subControlRect()` and `subElementRect()` return rectangles in screen coordinates
- QStyleOption::direction indicates in which direction the item should be drawn in
- If a style is not right-to-left aware it will display items as if it were left-to-right
- `visualRect()`, `visualPos()`, and `visualAlignment()` are helpful functions that will translate from logical to screen representations.
- `alignedRect()` will return a logical rect aligned for the current direction

## Styles in Item Views

The painting of items in views is performed by a delegate. Qt's default delegate, `QStyledItemDelegate`, is also used for for calculating bounding rectangles of items, and their sub-elements for the various kind of item `data roles` `QStyledItemDelegate` supports. See the `QStyledItemDelegate` class description to find out which datatypes and roles are supported. You can read more about item data roles in Model/View Programming.

When `QStyledItemDelegate` paints its items, it draws `CE_ItemViewItem` , and calculates their size with `CT_ItemViewItem` . Note also that it uses `SE_ItemViewItemText` to set the size of editors. When implementing a style to customize drawing of item views, you need to check the implementation of `QCommonStyle` (and any other subclasses from which your style inherits). This way, you find out which and how other style elements are painted, and you can then reimplement the painting of elements that should be drawn differently.

We include a small example where we customize the drawing of item backgrounds.
The following code example is written in c++.

        switch (element) {
            case (PE_PanelItemViewItem): {
                painter->save();

                QPoint topLeft = option->rect.topLeft();
                QPoint bottomRight = option->rect.topRight();
                QLinearGradient backgroundGradient(topLeft, bottomRight);
                backgroundGradient.setColorAt(0.0, QColor(Qt::yellow).lighter(190));
                backgroundGradient.setColorAt(1.0, Qt::white);
                painter->fillRect(option->rect, QBrush(backgroundGradient));

                painter->restore();
            break;
            }
            default:
                QWindowsStyle::drawPrimitive(element, option, painter, widget);
        }

The primitive element `PE_PanelItemViewItem` is responsible for painting the background of items, and is called from `QCommonStyle`'s implementation of `CE_ItemViewItem` .

To add support for drawing of new datatypes and item data roles, it is necessary to create a custom delegate. But if you only need to support the datatypes implemented by the default delegate, a custom style does not need an accompanying delegate. The `QStyledItemDelegate` class description gives more information on custom delegates.

The drawing of item view headers is also done by the style, giving control over size of header items and row and column sizes.

  Constructs a style object.

Method Detail

### layoutSpacingImplementation

    protected final int layoutSpacingImplementation(QSizePolicy.ControlType control1,
                                                    QSizePolicy.ControlType control2,
                                                    Qt.Orientation orientation,
                                                    QStyleOption option)

  This slot is called by `layoutSpacing()` to determine the spacing that should be used between `control1` and `control2` in a layout. `orientation` specifies whether the controls are laid out side by side or stacked vertically. The `option` parameter can be used to pass extra information about the parent widget. The `widget` parameter is optional and can also be used if `option` is 0.

  If you want to provide custom layout spacings in a QStyle subclass, implement a slot called `layoutSpacingImplementation()` in your subclass. Be aware that this slot will only be called if `PM_LayoutHorizontalSpacing` or `PM_LayoutVerticalSpacing` returns a negative value.

  The default implementation returns -1.

  `layoutSpacing()`, and `combinedLayoutSpacing()`.

  This slot is called by `layoutSpacing()` to determine the spacing that should be used between `control1` and `control2` in a layout. `orientation` specifies whether the controls are laid out side by side or stacked vertically. The `option` parameter can be used to pass extra information about the parent widget. The `widget` parameter is optional and can also be used if `option` is 0.

  If you want to provide custom layout spacings in a QStyle subclass, implement a slot called `layoutSpacingImplementation()` in your subclass. Be aware that this slot will only be called if `PM_LayoutHorizontalSpacing` or `PM_LayoutVerticalSpacing` returns a negative value.

  The default implementation returns -1.

  Draws the given primitive `element` with the provided `painter` using the style options specified by `option`.

  The `widget` argument is optional and may contain a widget that may aid in drawing the primitive element.

  The table below is listing the primitive elements and their associated style option subclasses. The style options contain all the parameters required to draw the elements, including QStyleOption::state which holds the style flags that are used when drawing. The table also describes which flags that are set when casting the given option to the appropriate subclass.

  Note that if a primitive element is not listed here, it is because it uses a plain `QStyleOption` object.

  Primitive Element | `QStyleOption` Subclass | Style Flag | Remark

                              java.lang.String text)

  Returns the area within the given `rectangle` in which to draw the provided `text` according to the specified font `metrics` and `alignment`. The `enabled` parameter indicates whether or not the associated item is enabled.

  If the given `rectangle` is larger than the area needed to render the `text`, the rectangle that is returned will be offset within `rectangle` according to the specified `alignment`. For example, if `alignment` is `Qt::AlignCenter` , the returned rectangle will be centered within `rectangle`. If the given `rectangle` is smaller than the area needed, the returned rectangle will be the smallest rectangle large enough to render the `text`.

### pixelMetric

    public final int pixelMetric(QStyle.PixelMetric metric,
                                 QStyleOption option)

  Returns the value of the given pixel `metric`.

  The specified `option` and `widget` can be used for calculating the metric. In general, the `widget` argument is not used. The `option` can be cast to the appropriate type using the qstyleoption_cast() function. Note that the `option` may be zero even for PixelMetrics that can make use of it.

  Late initialization of the given `application` object.

### polish

    public void polish(QPalette arg__1)

  Changes the `palette` according to style specific requirements for color palettes (if any).

See also:
  `QPalette`, and `QApplication::setPalette()`.

### polish

    public void polish(QWidget arg__1)

  Initializes the appearance of the given `widget`.

  This function is called for every widget at some point after it has been fully created but just before it is shown for the very first time.

  Note that the default implementation does nothing. Reasonable actions in this function might be to call the QWidget::setBackgroundMode() function for the widget. Do not use the function to set, for example, the geometry; reimplementing this function do provide a back-door through which the appearance of a widget can be changed, but with Qt 4.0's style engine there is rarely necessary to implement this function; reimplement the `drawItemPixmap()`, `drawItemText()`, `drawPrimitive()`, etc. instead.

  The QWidget::inherits() function may provide enough information to allow class-specific customizations. But because new QStyle subclasses are expected to work reasonably with all current and future widgets, limited use of hard-coded customization is recommended.

  `unpolish()`.

### sizeFromContents

### unpolish

    public void unpolish(QApplication arg__1)

  Uninitialize the given `application`.

### unpolish

    public void unpolish(QWidget arg__1)

  Uninitialize the given `widget`'s appearance.

  This function is the counterpart to `polish()`. It is called for every polished widget whenever the style is dynamically changed; the former style has to unpolish its settings before the new style can polish them again.

  Note that `unpolish()` will only be called if the widget is destroyed. This can cause problems in some cases, e.g, if you remove a widget from the UI, cache it, and then reinsert it after the style has changed; some of Qt's classes cache their widgets.

See also:
  `polish()`.

                                              int space)

  Converts the given `logicalValue` to a pixel position. The `min` parameter maps to 0, `max` maps to `span` and other values are distributed evenly in-between.

  This function can handle the entire integer range without overflow, providing that `span` is less than 4096.

  By default, this function assumes that the maximum value is on the right for horizontal items and on the bottom for vertical items. Set the `upsideDown` parameter to true to reverse this behavior.

                                              int space)

  Converts the given pixel `position` to a logical value. 0 maps to the `min` parameter, `span` maps to `max` and other values are distributed evenly in-between.

  This function can handle the entire integer range without overflow.

  By default, this function assumes that the maximum value is on the right for horizontal items and on the bottom for vertical items. Set the `upsideDown` parameter to true to reverse this behavior.

                                               Qt.Alignment alignment)

  Transforms an `alignment` of `Qt::AlignLeft` or `Qt::AlignRight` without `Qt::AlignAbsolute` into `Qt::AlignLeft` or `Qt::AlignRight` with `Qt::AlignAbsolute` according to the layout `direction`. The other alignment flags are left untouched.

  If no horizontal alignment was specified, the function returns the default alignment for the given layout `direction`.

### visualPos

    public static QPoint visualPos(Qt.LayoutDirection direction,
                                   QRect boundingRect,
                                   QPoint logicalPos)

  Returns the given `logicalPosition` converted to screen coordinates based on the specified `direction`. The `boundingRectangle` is used when performing the translation.

  `QWidget::layoutDirection`.

### visualRect

    public static QRect visualRect(Qt.LayoutDirection direction,
                                   QRect boundingRect,
                                   QRect logicalRect)

  Returns the given `logicalRectangle` converted to screen coordinates based on the specified `direction`. The `boundingRectangle` is used when performing the translation.

  This function is provided to support right-to-left desktops, and is typically used in implementations of the `subControlRect()` function.

  Returns the spacing that should be used between `controls1` and `controls2` in a layout. `orientation` specifies whether the controls are laid out side by side or stacked vertically. The `option` parameter can be used to pass extra information about the parent widget. The `widget` parameter is optional and can also be used if `option` is 0.

  `controls1` and `controls2` are OR-combination of zero or more control types.

  This function is called by the layout system. It is used only if `PM_LayoutHorizontalSpacing` or `PM_LayoutVerticalSpacing` returns a negative value.

  This function is called by the layout system. It is used only if `PM_LayoutHorizontalSpacing` or `PM_LayoutVerticalSpacing` returns a negative value.

  For binary compatibility reasons, this function is not virtual. If you want to specify custom layout spacings in a QStyle subclass, implement a slot called `layoutSpacingImplementation()`. QStyle will discover the slot at run-time (using Qt's meta-object system) and direct all calls to `layoutSpacing()` to `layoutSpacingImplementation()`.
