Detailed Description▲
A point is specified by a x coordinate and an y coordinate which can be accessed using the x() and y() functions. The isNull() function returns true if both x and y are set to 0. The coordinates can be set (or altered) using the setX() and setY() functions, or alternatively the rx() and ry() functions which return references to the coordinates (allowing direct manipulation).
Given a point p, the following statements are all equivalent:
QPoint p;
p.setX(p.x() + 1);
p += QPoint(1, 0);
p.rx()++;A QPoint object can also be used as a vector: Addition and subtraction are defined as for vectors (each component is added separately). A QPoint object can also be divided or multiplied by an int or a qreal.
In addition, the QPoint class provides the manhattanLength() function which gives an inexpensive approximation of the length of the QPoint object interpreted as a vector. Finally, QPoint objects can be streamed as well as compared.

Member Function Documentation▲
[constexpr] QPoint::QPoint()▲
[constexpr] QPoint::QPoint(int xpos, int ypos)▲
[static constexpr, since 5.1] int QPoint::dotProduct(const QPoint &p1, const QPoint &p2)▲
QPoint p( 3, 7);
QPoint q(-1, 4);
int dotProduct = QPoint::dotProduct(p, q); // dotProduct becomes 25Returns the dot product of p1 and p2.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.1.
[constexpr] bool QPoint::isNull() const▲
Returns true if both the x and y coordinates are set to 0, otherwise returns false.
[constexpr] int QPoint::manhattanLength() const▲
Returns the sum of the absolute values of x() and y(), traditionally known as the "Manhattan length" of the vector from the origin to the point. For example:
QPoint oldPosition;
MyWidget::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
QPoint point = event->pos() - oldPosition;
if (point.manhattanLength() > 3)
// the mouse has moved more than 3 pixels since the oldPosition
}This is a useful, and quick to calculate, approximation to the true length:
double trueLength = std::sqrt(std::pow(x(), 2) + std::pow(y(), 2));The tradition of "Manhattan length" arises because such distances apply to travelers who can only travel on a rectangular grid, like the streets of Manhattan.
[constexpr] int &QPoint::rx()▲
Returns a reference to the x coordinate of this point.
Using a reference makes it possible to directly manipulate x. For example:
QPoint p(1, 2);
p.rx()--; // p becomes (0, 2)See Also▲
[constexpr] int &QPoint::ry()▲
Returns a reference to the y coordinate of this point.
Using a reference makes it possible to directly manipulate y. For example:
QPoint p(1, 2);
p.ry()++; // p becomes (1, 3)See Also▲

[constexpr] void QPoint::setY(int y)▲
