<class name="QPaintDeviceInterface" doc="/**
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDevice.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QPaintDevice&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; class is the base class of objects that can be painted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A paint device is an abstraction of a two-dimensional space that can be drawn using a &lt;a href=&quot;QPainter.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QPainter&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Its default coordinate system has its origin located at the top-left position. X increases to the right and Y increases downwards. The unit is one pixel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The drawing capabilities of &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDevice.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QPaintDevice&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; are currently implemented by the &lt;a href=&quot;QWidget.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QWidget&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;QImage.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QImage&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;QPixmap.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QPixmap&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;%2E%2E/opengl/QGLPixelBuffer.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QGLPixelBuffer&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;QPicture.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QPicture&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;QPrinter.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QPrinter&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; subclasses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To implement support for a new backend, you must derive from &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDevice.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QPaintDevice&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and reimplement the virtual &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDeviceInterface.html#paintEngine()&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;paintEngine&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; function to tell &lt;a href=&quot;QPainter.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QPainter&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; which paint engine should be used to draw on this particular device. Note that you also must create a corresponding paint engine to be able to draw on the device, i.e derive from &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintEngine.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QPaintEngine&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and reimplement its virtual functions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Warning:&lt;/b&gt; Qt requires that a &lt;a href=&quot;QApplication.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QApplication&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; object exists before any paint devices can be created. Paint devices access window system resources, and these resources are not initialized before an application object is created.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDevice.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QPaintDevice&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; class provides several functions returning the various device metrics: The &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDeviceInterface.html#depth()&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;depth&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; function returns its bit depth (number of bit planes). The &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDeviceInterface.html#height()&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;height&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; function returns its height in default coordinate system units (e.g&amp;#x2e; pixels for &lt;a href=&quot;QPixmap.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QPixmap&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;QWidget.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QWidget&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) while &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDeviceInterface.html#heightMM()&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;heightMM&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; returns the height of the device in millimeters. Similiarily, the &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDeviceInterface.html#width()&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;width&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDeviceInterface.html#widthMM()&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;widthMM&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; functions return the width of the device in default coordinate system units and in millimeters, respectively. Alternatively, the protected &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDeviceInterface.html#metric(com.trolltech.qt.gui.QPaintDevice.PaintDeviceMetric)&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;metric&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; function can be used to retrieve the metric information by specifying the desired PaintDeviceMetric as argument.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDeviceInterface.html#logicalDpiX()&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;logicalDpiX&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDeviceInterface.html#logicalDpiY()&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;logicalDpiY&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; functions return the horizontal and vertical resolution of the device in dots per inch. The &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDeviceInterface.html#physicalDpiX()&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;physicalDpiX&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDeviceInterface.html#physicalDpiY()&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;physicalDpiY&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; functions also return the resolution of the device in dots per inch, but note that if the logical and vertical resolution differ, the corresponding &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintEngine.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QPaintEngine&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; must handle the mapping. Finally, the &lt;a href=&quot;QPaintDeviceInterface.html#numColors()&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;numColors&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; function returns the number of different colors available for the paint device.&lt;/p&gt;
