For example, a picture created under +Windows can be read on a Sun SPARC. +<p> Pictures are called meta-files on some platforms. +<p> Qt pictures use a proprietary binary format. Unlike native picture +(meta-file) formats on many window systems, Qt pictures have no +limitations regarding their contents. Everything that can be +painted can also be stored in a picture, e.g. fonts, pixmaps, +regions, transformed graphics, etc. +<p> QPicture is an <a href="shclass.html">implicitly shared</a> class. +<p> Example of how to record a picture: +<pre> + QPicture pic; + <a href="qpainter.html">QPainter</a> p; + p.<a href="qpainter.html#begin">begin</a>( &pic ); // paint in picture + p.<a href="qpainter.html#drawEllipse">drawEllipse</a>( 10,20, 80,70 ); // draw an ellipse + p.<a href="qpainter.html#end">end</a>(); // painting done + pic.<a href="#save">save</a>( "drawing.pic" ); // save picture + </pre> + +<p> Example of how to replay a picture: +<pre> + QPicture pic; + pic.<a href="#load">load</a>( "drawing.pic" ); // load picture + <a href="qpainter.html">QPainter</a> p; + p.<a href="qpainter.html#begin">begin</a>( &myWidget ); // paint in myWidget + p.<a href="qpainter.html#drawPicture">drawPicture</a>( pic ); // draw the picture + p.<a href="qpainter.html#end">end</a>(); // painting done + </pre> + +<p> Pictures can also be drawn using <a href="#play">play</a>().
