Detailed Description

Paint events are sent to widgets that need to update themselves, for instance when a part of a widget is exposed because an overlying widget is moved away.

The event handler QWidget::paintEvent() receives paint events.

See also QPainter, QWidget::update() and QWidget::repaint().
