    public class QTextFrame

extends QTextObject

The QTextFrame class represents a frame in a `QTextDocument`. Text frames provide structure for the text in a document. They are used as generic containers for other document elements. Frames are usually created by using `QTextCursor::insertFrame()`.

Frames can be used to create hierarchical structures in rich text documents. Each document has a root frame (`QTextDocument::rootFrame()`), and each frame beneath the root frame has a parent frame and a (possibly empty) list of child frames. The parent frame can be found with `parentFrame()`, and the `childFrames()` function provides a list of child frames.

Each frame contains at least one text block to enable text cursors to insert new document elements within. As a result, the QTextFrame::iterator class is used to traverse both the blocks and child frames within a given frame. The first and last child elements in the frame can be found with `begin()` and `end()`.

A frame also has a format (specified using `QTextFrameFormat`) which can be set with `setFormat()` and read with `format()`.

Text cursors can be obtained that point to the first and last valid cursor positions within a frame; use the `firstCursorPosition()` and `lastCursorPosition()` functions for this. The frame's extent in the document can be found with `firstPosition()` and `lastPosition()`.

You can iterate over a frame's contents using the QTextFrame::iterator class: this provides read-only access to its internal list of text blocks and child frames.

  `QTextCursor`, and `QTextDocument`.

Constructor Detail

### QTextFrame

    public QTextFrame(QTextDocument doc)

  Creates a new empty frame for the text `document`.

Method Detail

### begin

    public final QTextFrame_iterator begin()

  Returns an iterator pointing to the first document element inside the frame.

See also:
  `end()`.

### childFrames

    public final java.util.List childFrames()

  Returns a (possibly empty) list of the frame's child frames.

See also:
  `parentFrame()`.

### end

    public final QTextFrame_iterator end()

  Returns an iterator pointing to the last document element inside the frame.

See also:
  `begin()`.

### firstCursorPosition

    public final QTextCursor firstCursorPosition()

  Returns the first cursor position inside the frame.

See also:
  `lastCursorPosition()`, `firstPosition()`, and `lastPosition()`.

### firstPosition

    public final int firstPosition()

  Returns the first document position inside the frame.

See also:
  `lastPosition()`, `firstCursorPosition()`, and `lastCursorPosition()`.

### frameFormat

    public final QTextFrameFormat frameFormat()

  Returns the frame's format.

See also:
  `setFrameFormat()`.

### lastCursorPosition

    public final QTextCursor lastCursorPosition()

  Returns the last cursor position inside the frame.

See also:
  `firstCursorPosition()`, `firstPosition()`, and `lastPosition()`.

### lastPosition

    public final int lastPosition()

  Returns the last document position inside the frame.

See also:
  `firstPosition()`, `firstCursorPosition()`, and `lastCursorPosition()`.

### parentFrame

    public final QTextFrame parentFrame()

  Returns the frame's parent frame. If the frame is the root frame of a document, this will return 0.

See also:
  `childFrames()`, and `QTextDocument::rootFrame()`.

### setFrameFormat

    public final void setFrameFormat(QTextFrameFormat format)

  Sets the frame's `format`.

See also:
  `frameFormat()`.
