<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QRegion class specifies a clip region for a painter.</p>
<p>QRegion is used with <a href="qpainter.html#setClipRegion">QPainter::setClipRegion</a>() to limit the paint area to what needs to be painted. There is also a <a href="qwidget.html#repaint">QWidget::repaint</a>() function that takes a QRegion parameter. QRegion is the best tool for reducing flicker.</p>
<p>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 <a href="qregion.html#united">united</a>(), <a href="qregion.html#intersected">intersected</a>(), <a href="qregion.html#subtracted">subtracted</a>(), or <a href="qregion.html#xored">xored</a>() (exclusive or). You can move a region using <a href="qregion.html#translate">translate</a>().</p>
<p>You can test whether a region <a href="qregion.html#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>() or if it <a href="qregion.html#contains">contains</a>() a <a href="qpoint.html">QPoint</a> or <a href="qrect.html">QRect</a>. The bounding rectangle can be found with <a href="qregion.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>().</p>
<p>The function <a href="qregion.html#rects">rects</a>() gives a decomposition of the region into rectangles.</p>
<p>Example of using complex regions:</p>
<pre> void MyWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *)
{
QRegion r1(QRect(100, 100, 200, 80), <span class="comment">// r1: elliptic region</span>
QRegion::Ellipse);
QRegion r2(QRect(100, 120, 90, 30)); <span class="comment">// r2: rectangular region</span>
QRegion r3 = r1.intersected(r2); <span class="comment">// r3: intersection</span>
QPainter painter(this);
painter.setClipRegion(r3);
... <span class="comment">// paint clipped graphics</span>
}</pre>
<p>QRegion is an <a href="shared.html">implicitly shared class</a>.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> 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 <a href="qpainterpath.html">QPainterPath</a>.</p>

<h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="QRegion"></a>QRegion::QRegion ()</h3>
<p>Constructs an empty region.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qregion.html#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="QRegion-2"></a>QRegion::QRegion ( int <i>x</i>, int <i>y</i>, int <i>w</i>, int <i>h</i>, <a href="qregion.html#RegionType-enum">RegionType</a> <i>t</i> = Rectangle )</h3>
<p>Constructs a rectangular or elliptic region.</p>
<p>If <i>t</i> is <tt>Rectangle</tt>, the region is the filled rectangle (<i>x</i>, <i>y</i>, <i>w</i>, <i>h</i>). If <i>t</i> is <tt>Ellipse</tt>, the region is the filled ellipse with center at (<i>x</i> + <i>w</i> / 2, <i>y</i> + <i>h</i> / 2) and size (<i>w</i> ,<i>h</i>).</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="QRegion-3"></a>QRegion::QRegion ( const <a href="qpolygon.html">QPolygon</a> & <i>a</i>, <a href="qt.html#FillRule-enum">Qt::FillRule</a> <i>fillRule</i> = Qt::OddEvenFill )</h3>
<p>Constructs a polygon region from the point array <i>a</i> with the fill rule specified by <i>fillRule</i>.</p>
<p>If <i>fillRule</i> is <a href="qt.html#FillRule-enum">Qt::WindingFill</a>, the polygon region is defined using the winding algorithm; if it is <a href="qt.html#FillRule-enum">Qt::OddEvenFill</a>, the odd-even fill algorithm is used.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> This constructor can be used to create complex regions that will slow down painting when used.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="QRegion-5"></a>QRegion::QRegion ( const QRegion & <i>r</i> )</h3>
<p>Constructs a new region which is equal to region <i>r</i>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="QRegion-6"></a>QRegion::QRegion ( const <a href="qbitmap.html">QBitmap</a> & <i>bm</i> )</h3>
<p>Constructs a region from the bitmap <i>bm</i>.</p>
<p>The resulting region consists of the pixels in bitmap <i>bm</i> that are <a href="qt.html#GlobalColor-enum">Qt::color1</a>, as if each pixel was a 1 by 1 rectangle.</p>
<p>This constructor may create complex regions that will slow down painting when used. Note that drawing masked pixmaps can be done much faster using <a href="qpixmap.html#setMask">QPixmap::setMask</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="QRegion-7"></a>QRegion::QRegion ( const <a href="qrect.html">QRect</a> & <i>r</i>, <a href="qregion.html#RegionType-enum">RegionType</a> <i>t</i> = Rectangle )</h3>
<p>Create a region based on the rectange <i>r</i> with region type <i>t</i>.</p>
<p>If the rectangle is invalid a null region will be created.</p>

<p>Destroys the region.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="boundingRect"></a><a href="qrect.html">QRect</a> QRegion::boundingRect () const</h3>
<p>Returns the bounding rectangle of this region. An empty region gives a rectangle that is <a href="qrect.html#isNull">QRect::isNull</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="contains"></a>bool QRegion::contains ( const <a href="qpoint.html">QPoint</a> & <i>p</i> ) const</h3>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="contains-2"></a>bool QRegion::contains ( const <a href="qrect.html">QRect</a> & <i>r</i> ) const</h3>
<p>This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.</p>
<p>Returns true if the region overlaps the rectangle <i>r</i>; otherwise returns false.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="handle"></a>Handle QRegion::handle () const</h3>
<p>Returns a platform-specific region handle. The <tt>Handle</tt> type is <tt>HRGN</tt> on Windows, <tt>Region</tt> on X11, and <tt>RgnHandle</tt> on Mac OS X. On <a href="qtopiacore.html">Qtopia Core</a> it is <tt>void *</tt>.</p>
