Detailed DescriptionThe Q3PaintDeviceMetrics class provides information about a paint device. Sometimes when drawing graphics it is necessary to obtain information about the physical characteristics of a paint device. This class provides the information. For example, to compute the aspect ratio of a paint device: Q3PaintDeviceMetrics pdm(myWidget); double aspect = (double)pdm.widthMM() / (double)pdm.heightMM(); Q3PaintDeviceMetrics contains methods to provide the width and height of a device in both pixels (width() and height()) and millimeters (widthMM() and heightMM()), the number of colors the device supports (numColors()), the number of bit planes (depth()), and the resolution of the device (logicalDpiX() and logicalDpiY()). It is not always possible for Q3PaintDeviceMetrics to compute the values you ask for, particularly for external devices. The ultimate example is asking for the resolution of of a QPrinter that is set to "print to file": who knows what printer that file will end up on? Member Function Documentation
