<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QPolygon class provides a vector of points using integer precision.</p>
<p>A QPolygon object is a <a href="qvector.html">QVector</a><<a href="qpoint.html">QPoint</a>>. The easiest way to add points to a QPolygon is to use <a href="qvector.html">QVector</a>'s streaming operator, as illustrated below:</p>
<pre> QPolygon polygon;
polygon << QPoint(10, 20) << QPoint(20, 30);</pre>
<p>In addition to the functions provided by <a href="qvector.html">QVector</a>, QPolygon provides some point-specific functions.</p>
<p>Each point in a polygon can be retrieved by passing its index to the <a href="qpolygon.html#point">point</a>() function. To populate the polygon, QPolygon provides the <a href="qpolygon.html#setPoint">setPoint</a>() function to set the point at a given index, the <a href="qpolygon.html#setPoints">setPoints</a>() function to set all the points in the polygon (resizing it to the given number of points), and the <a href="qpolygon.html#putPoints">putPoints</a>() function which copies a number of given points into the polygon from a specified index (resizing the polygon if necessary).</p>
<p>QPolygon provides the <a href="qpolygon.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>() and <a href="qpolygon.html#translate">translate</a>() functions for geometry functions. Use the <a href="qmatrix.html#map">QMatrix::map</a>() function for more general transformations of QPolygons.</p>
<p>The QPolygon class is <a href="shared.html#implicit-data-sharing">implicitly shared</a>.</p>

<p>See also <a href="qpolygon.html#setPoints">setPoints</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="QPolygon-5"></a>QPolygon::QPolygon ( const <a href="qrect.html">QRect</a> & <i>rectangle</i>, bool <i>closed</i> = false )</h3>
<p>Constructs a polygon from the given <i>rectangle</i>. If <i>closed</i> is false, the polygon just contains the four points of the rectangle ordered clockwise, otherwise the polygon's fifth point is set to <i>rectangle</i>.topLeft().</p>
<p>Note that the bottom-right corner of the rectangle is located at (rectangle.x() + rectangle.width(), rectangle.y() + rectangle.height()).</p>
<p>See also <a href="qpolygon.html#setPoints">setPoints</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="dtor.QPolygon"></a>QPolygon::~QPolygon ()</h3>
<p>Destroys the polygon.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="boundingRect"></a><a href="qrect.html">QRect</a> QPolygon::boundingRect () const</h3>
<p>Returns the bounding rectangle of the polygon, or <a href="qrect.html">QRect</a>(0, 0, 0, 0) if the polygon is empty.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qvector.html#isEmpty">QVector::isEmpty</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="point"></a>void QPolygon::point ( int <i>index</i>, int * <i>x</i>, int * <i>y</i> ) const</h3>
<p>Extracts the coordinates of the point at the given <i>index</i> to *<i>x</i> and *<i>y</i> (if they are valid pointers).</p>
<p>See also <a href="qpolygon.html#setPoint">setPoint</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="point-2"></a><a href="qpoint.html">QPoint</a> QPolygon::point ( int <i>index</i> ) const</h3>
<p>This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.</p>
<p>Returns the point at the given <i>index</i>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="putPoints"></a>void QPolygon::putPoints ( int <i>index</i>, int <i>nPoints</i>, int <i>firstx</i>, int <i>firsty</i>, ... )</h3>
<p>Copies <i>nPoints</i> points from the variable argument list into this polygon from the given <i>index</i>.</p>
<p>The points are given as a sequence of integers, starting with <i>firstx</i> then <i>firsty</i>, and so on. The polygon is resized if <tt>index+nPoints</tt> exceeds its current size.</p>
<p>The example code creates a polygon with three points (4,5), (6,7) and (8,9), by expanding the polygon from 1 to 3 points:</p>
<pre> QPolygon polygon(1);
polygon[0] = QPoint(4, 5);
polygon.putPoints(1, 2, 6,7, 8,9);</pre>
<p>The following code has the same result, but here the putPoints() function overwrites rather than extends:</p>
<pre> QPolygon polygon(3);
polygon.putPoints(0, 3, 4,5, 0,0, 8,9);
polygon.putPoints(1, 1, 6,7);</pre>
<p>See also <a href="qpolygon.html#setPoints">setPoints</a>().</p>
