Detailed Description

The PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer class is used to draw the contents of SVG files onto paint devices.

Using PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer , Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) can be rendered onto any PySide.QtGui.QPaintDevice subclass, including PySide.QtGui.QWidget , PySide.QtGui.QImage , and PySide.QtOpenGL.QGLWidget .

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer provides an API that supports basic features of SVG rendering, such as loading and rendering of static drawings, and more interactive features like animation. Since the rendering is performed using PySide.QtGui.QPainter , SVG drawings can be rendered on any subclass of PySide.QtGui.QPaintDevice .

SVG drawings are either loaded when an PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer is constructed, or loaded later using the PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.load() functions. Data is either supplied directly as serialized XML, or indirectly using a file name. If a valid file has been loaded, either when the renderer is constructed or at some later time, PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.isValid() returns true; otherwise it returns false. PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer provides the PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.render() slot to render the current document, or the current frame of an animated document, using a given painter.

The PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.defaultSize() function provides information about the amount of space that is required to render the currently loaded SVG file. This is useful for paint devices, such as PySide.QtGui.QWidget , that often need to supply a size hint to their parent layout. The default size of a drawing may differ from its visible area, found using the PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.viewBox() property.

Animated SVG drawings are supported, and can be controlled with a simple collection of functions and properties:

Finally, the PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer class provides the PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.repaintNeeded() signal which is emitted whenever the rendering of the document needs to be updated.

class PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer([parent=None])
class PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer(contents[, parent=None])
class PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer(contents[, parent=None])
class PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer(filename[, parent=None])
Parameters:

Constructs a new renderer with the given parent .

Constructs a new renderer with the given parent and loads the SVG data using the stream reader specified by contents .

Constructs a new renderer with the given parent and loads the SVG data from the byte array specified by contents .

Constructs a new renderer with the given parent and loads the contents of the SVG file with the specified filename .

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.animated()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.bool

Returns true if the current document contains animated elements; otherwise returns false.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.animationDuration()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.int

Returns the number of frames in the animation, or 0 if the current document is not animated.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.boundsOnElement(id)
Parameters:id – unicode
Return type:PySide.QtCore.QRectF

Returns bounding rectangle of the item with the given id . The transformation matrix of parent elements is not affecting the bounds of the element.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.currentFrame()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.int

This property holds the current frame of the document’s animation, or 0 if the document is not animated.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.defaultSize()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.QSize

Returns the default size of the document contents.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.elementExists(id)
Parameters:id – unicode
Return type:PySide.QtCore.bool

Returns true if the element with the given id exists in the currently parsed SVG file and is a renderable element.

Note: this method returns true only for elements that can be rendered. Which implies that elements that are considered part of the fill/stroke style properties, e.g. radialGradients even tough marked with “id” attributes will not be found by this method.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.framesPerSecond()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.int

This property holds the number of frames per second to be shown.

The number of frames per second is 0 if the current document is not animated.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.isValid()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.bool

Returns true if there is a valid current document; otherwise returns false.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.load(contents)
Parameters:contentsPySide.QtCore.QByteArray
Return type:PySide.QtCore.bool

Loads the specified SVG format contents , returning true if the content was successfully parsed; otherwise returns false.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.load(filename)
Parameters:filename – unicode
Return type:PySide.QtCore.bool

Loads the SVG file specified by filename , returning true if the content was successfully parsed; otherwise returns false.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.load(contents)
Parameters:contentsPySide.QtCore.QXmlStreamReader
Return type:PySide.QtCore.bool

Loads the specified SVG in contents , returning true if the content was successfully parsed; otherwise returns false.

The reader will be used from where it currently is positioned. If contents is null , behavior is undefined.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.matrixForElement(id)
Parameters:id – unicode
Return type:PySide.QtGui.QMatrix

Returns the transformation matrix for the element with the given id . The matrix is a product of the transformation of the element’s parents. The transformation of the element itself is not included.

To find the bounding rectangle of the element in logical coordinates, you can apply the matrix on the rectangle returned from PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.boundsOnElement() .

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.render(p, bounds)
Parameters:

Renders the current document, or the current frame of an animated document, using the given painter on the specified bounds within the painter. If the bounding rectangle is not specified the SVG file is mapped to the whole paint device.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.render(p, elementId[, bounds=QRectF()])
Parameters:

Renders the given element with elementId using the given painter on the specified bounds . If the bounding rectangle is not specified the SVG element is mapped to the whole paint device.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.render(p)
Parameters:pPySide.QtGui.QPainter

Renders the current document, or the current frame of an animated document, using the given painter .

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.repaintNeeded()
PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.setCurrentFrame(arg__1)
Parameters:arg__1PySide.QtCore.int

This property holds the current frame of the document’s animation, or 0 if the document is not animated.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.setFramesPerSecond(num)
Parameters:numPySide.QtCore.int

This property holds the number of frames per second to be shown.

The number of frames per second is 0 if the current document is not animated.

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.setViewBox(viewbox)
Parameters:viewboxPySide.QtCore.QRect
PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.setViewBox(viewbox)
Parameters:viewboxPySide.QtCore.QRectF

This property holds the rectangle specifying the visible area of the document in logical coordinates.

Return type:PySide.QtCore.QRect

Returns PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.viewBoxF() . toRect() .

PySide.QtSvg.QSvgRenderer.viewBoxF()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.QRectF

This property holds the rectangle specifying the visible area of the document in logical coordinates.
