The QImageFormatPlugin class provides an abstract base for custom image format plugins.
<p> 
<p> The image format plugin is a simple plugin interface that makes
it easy to create custom image formats that can be used
transparently by applications.
<p> Writing an image format plugin is achieved by subclassing this
base class, reimplementing the pure virtual functions <a href="#keys">keys</a>() and
<a href="#installIOHandler">installIOHandler</a>(), and exporting the class with the
Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN macro.  See the <a href="plugins-howto.html">Plugins
    documentation</a> for details.
<p>See also <a href="plugins.html">Plugins</a>.

<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="QImageFormatPlugin"></a>QImageFormatPlugin::QImageFormatPlugin ()
</h3>
Constructs an image format plugin. This is invoked automatically
by the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN macro.

<h3 class=fn><a name="~QImageFormatPlugin"></a>QImageFormatPlugin::~QImageFormatPlugin ()
</h3>
Destroys the image format plugin.
<p> You never have to call this explicitly. Qt destroys a plugin
automatically when it is no longer used.

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="installIOHandler"></a>QImageFormatPlugin::installIOHandler ( const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;format )<tt> [pure virtual]</tt>
</h3>

<p> Installs a <a href="qimageio.html">QImageIO</a> image I/O handler for the image format <em>format</em>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#keys">keys</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a href="qstringlist.html">QStringList</a> <a name="keys"></a>QImageFormatPlugin::keys () const<tt> [pure virtual]</tt>
</h3>

<p> Returns the list of image formats this plugin supports.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#installIOHandler">installIOHandler</a>().
