DESCRIPTION
The QGridView class provides an abstract base for fixed-size grids.
A grid view consists of a number of abstract cells organized in rows
and columns. The cells have a fixed size and are identified with a row
index and a column index. The top-left cell is in row 0, column 0. The
bottom-right cell is in row numRows()-1, column numCols()-1.
You can define numRows, numCols, cellWidth and cellHeight. Reimplement
the pure virtual function paintCell() to draw the contents of a cell.
With ensureCellVisible(), you can ensure a certain cell is visible.
With rowAt() and columnAt() you can find a cell based on the given x-
and y-coordinates.
If you need to monitor changes to the grid's dimensions (i.e. when
numRows or numCols is changed), reimplement the dimensionChange()
change handler.
Note: the row and column indices are always given in the order, row
(vertical offset) then column (horizontal offset). This order is the
opposite of all pixel operations, which are given in the order x
(horizontal offset), y (vertical offset).
QGridView is a very simple abstract class based on QScrollView. It is
designed to simplify the task of drawing many cells of the same size in
a potentially scrollable canvas. If you need rows and columns with
different sizes, use a QTable instead. If you need a simple list of
items, use a QListBox. If you need to present hierachical data use a
QListView, and if you need random objects at random positions, consider
using either a QIconView or a QCanvas.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATIONQGridView::QGridView ( QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, WFlags f =
0 )
Constructs a grid view.
The parent, name and widget flag, f, arguments are passed to the
QScrollView constructor.
QGridView::~QGridView ()
Destroys the grid view.
QRect QGridView::cellGeometry ( int row, int column )
Returns the geometry of cell (row, column) in the content coordinate
system.
See also cellRect().
int QGridView::cellHeight () const
Returns the height of a grid row. See the "cellHeight" property for
details.
QRect QGridView::cellRect () const
Returns the geometry of a cell in a cell's coordinate system. This is a
convenience function useful in paintCell(). It is equivalent to QRect(
0, 0, cellWidth(), cellHeight() ).
See also cellGeometry().
int QGridView::cellWidth () const
Returns the width of a grid column. See the "cellWidth" property for
details.
int QGridView::columnAt ( int x ) const
Returns the number of the column at position x. x must be given in
content coordinates.
See also rowAt().
void QGridView::dimensionChange ( int oldNumRows, int oldNumCols ) [virtual
protected]
This change handler is called whenever any of the grid's dimensions
change. oldNumRows and oldNumCols contain the old dimensions, numRows()
and numCols() contain the new dimensions.
void QGridView::ensureCellVisible ( int row, int column )
Ensures cell (row, column) is visible, scrolling the grid view if
necessary.
QSize QGridView::gridSize () const
Returns the size of the grid in pixels.
int QGridView::numCols () const
Returns the number of columns in the grid. See the "numCols" property
for details.
int QGridView::numRows () const
Returns the number of rows in the grid. See the "numRows" property for
details.
void QGridView::paintCell ( QPainter * p, int row, int col ) [pure virtual
protected]
This pure virtual function is called to paint the single cell at (row,
col) using painter p. The painter must be open when paintCell() is
called and must remain open.
The coordinate system is translated so that the origin is at the top-
left corner of the cell to be painted, i.e. cell coordinates. Do not
scale or shear the coordinate system (or if you do, restore the
transformation matrix before you return).
The painter is not clipped by default in order to get maximum
efficiency. If you want clipping, use
p->setClipRect( cellRect(), QPainter::CoordPainter );
//... your drawing code
p->setClipping( FALSE );
void QGridView::paintEmptyArea ( QPainter * p, int cx, int cy, int cw, int ch
) [virtual protected]
This function fills the cw pixels wide and ch pixels high rectangle
starting at position (cx, cy) with the background color using the
painter p.
paintEmptyArea() is invoked by drawContents() to erase or fill unused
areas.
void QGridView::repaintCell ( int row, int column, bool erase = TRUE )
Repaints cell (row, column).
If erase is TRUE, Qt erases the area of the cell before the paintCell()
call; otherwise no erasing takes place.
See also QWidget::repaint().
int QGridView::rowAt ( int y ) const
Returns the number of the row at position y. y must be given in content
coordinates.
See also columnAt().
void QGridView::setCellHeight ( int ) [virtual]
Sets the height of a grid row. See the "cellHeight" property for
details.
void QGridView::setCellWidth ( int ) [virtual]
Sets the width of a grid column. See the "cellWidth" property for
details.
void QGridView::setNumCols ( int ) [virtual]
Sets the number of columns in the grid. See the "numCols" property for
details.
void QGridView::setNumRows ( int ) [virtual]
Sets the number of rows in the grid. See the "numRows" property for
details.
void QGridView::updateCell ( int row, int column )
Updates cell (row, column).
See also QWidget::update().
