Detailed Description

The PySide.QtGui.QTransform class specifies 2D transformations of a coordinate system.

A transformation specifies how to translate, scale, shear, rotate or project the coordinate system, and is typically used when rendering graphics.

PySide.QtGui.QTransform differs from PySide.QtGui.QMatrix in that it is a true 3x3 matrix, allowing perspective transformations. PySide.QtGui.QTransform ‘s PySide.QtGui.QTransform.toAffine() method allows casting PySide.QtGui.QTransform to PySide.QtGui.QMatrix . If a perspective transformation has been specified on the matrix, then the conversion will cause loss of data.

PySide.QtGui.QTransform is the recommended transformation class in Qt.

A PySide.QtGui.QTransform object can be built using the PySide.QtGui.QTransform.setMatrix() , PySide.QtGui.QTransform.scale() , PySide.QtGui.QTransform.rotate() , PySide.QtGui.QTransform.translate() and PySide.QtGui.QTransform.shear() functions. Alternatively, it can be built by applying basic matrix operations . The matrix can also be defined when constructed, and it can be reset to the identity matrix (the default) using the PySide.QtGui.QTransform.reset() function.

The PySide.QtGui.QTransform class supports mapping of graphic primitives: A given point, line, polygon, region, or painter path can be mapped to the coordinate system defined by this matrix using the PySide.QtGui.QTransform.map() function. In case of a rectangle, its coordinates can be transformed using the PySide.QtGui.QTransform.mapRect() function. A rectangle can also be transformed into a polygon (mapped to the coordinate system defined by this matrix), using the PySide.QtGui.QTransform.mapToPolygon() function.

PySide.QtGui.QTransform provides the PySide.QtGui.QTransform.isIdentity() function which returns true if the matrix is the identity matrix, and the PySide.QtGui.QTransform.isInvertible() function which returns true if the matrix is non-singular (i.e. AB = BA = I). The PySide.QtGui.QTransform.inverted() function returns an inverted copy of this matrix if it is invertible (otherwise it returns the identity matrix), and PySide.QtGui.QTransform.adjoint() returns the matrix’s classical adjoint. In addition, PySide.QtGui.QTransform provides the PySide.QtGui.QTransform.determinant() function which returns the matrix’s determinant.

Finally, the PySide.QtGui.QTransform class supports matrix multiplication, addition and subtraction, and objects of the class can be streamed as well as compared.

Rendering Graphics

When rendering graphics, the matrix defines the transformations but the actual transformation is performed by the drawing routines in PySide.QtGui.QPainter .

By default, PySide.QtGui.QPainter operates on the associated device’s own coordinate system. The standard coordinate system of a PySide.QtGui.QPaintDevice has its origin located at the top-left position. The x values increase to the right; y values increase downward. For a complete description, see the coordinate system documentation.

PySide.QtGui.QPainter has functions to translate, scale, shear and rotate the coordinate system without using a PySide.QtGui.QTransform . For example:

../../_images/qtransform-simpletransformation.png
def paintEvent(self, event)
    painter = QPainter(self)
    painter.setPen(QPen(Qt.blue, 1, Qt.DashLine))
    painter.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100)

    painter.rotate(45)

    painter.setFont(QFont("Helvetica", 24))
    painter.setPen(QPen(Qt.black, 1))
    painter.drawText(20, 10, "QTransform")

Although these functions are very convenient, it can be more efficient to build a PySide.QtGui.QTransform and call QPainter.setTransform() if you want to perform more than a single transform operation. For example:

../../_images/qtransform-combinedtransformation.png
def paintEvent(self, event)
    painter = QPainter(self)
    painter.setPen(QPen(Qt.blue, 1, Qt.DashLine))
    painter.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100)

    transform = QTransform()
    transform.translate(50, 50)
    transform.rotate(45)
    transform.scale(0.5, 1.0)
    painter.setTransform(transform)

    painter.setFont(QFont("Helvetica", 24))
    painter.setPen(QPen(Qt.black, 1))
    painter.drawText(20, 10, "QTransform")

Basic Matrix Operations

../../_images/qtransform-representation.png

A PySide.QtGui.QTransform object contains a 3 x 3 matrix. The m31 (dx ) and m32 (dy ) elements specify horizontal and vertical translation. The m11 and m22 elements specify horizontal and vertical scaling. The m21 and m12 elements specify horizontal and vertical shearing . And finally, the m13 and m23 elements specify horizontal and vertical projection, with m33 as an additional projection factor.

PySide.QtGui.QTransform transforms a point in the plane to another point using the following formulas:

x' = m11*x + m21*y + dx
y' = m22*y + m12*x + dy
if is not affine:
    w' = m13*x + m23*y + m33
    x' /= w'
    y' /= w'

The point (x, y) is the original point, and (x’, y’) is the transformed point. (x’, y’) can be transformed back to (x, y) by performing the same operation on the PySide.QtGui.QTransform.inverted() matrix.

The various matrix elements can be set when constructing the matrix, or by using the PySide.QtGui.QTransform.setMatrix() function later on. They can also be manipulated using the PySide.QtGui.QTransform.translate() , PySide.QtGui.QTransform.rotate() , PySide.QtGui.QTransform.scale() and PySide.QtGui.QTransform.shear() convenience functions. The currently set values can be retrieved using the PySide.QtGui.QTransform.m11() , PySide.QtGui.QTransform.m12() , PySide.QtGui.QTransform.m13() , PySide.QtGui.QTransform.m21() , PySide.QtGui.QTransform.m22() , PySide.QtGui.QTransform.m23() , PySide.QtGui.QTransform.m31() , PySide.QtGui.QTransform.m32() , PySide.QtGui.QTransform.m33() , PySide.QtGui.QTransform.dx() and PySide.QtGui.QTransform.dy() functions.

Translation is the simplest transformation. Setting dx and dy will move the coordinate system dx units along the X axis and dy units along the Y axis. Scaling can be done by setting m11 and m22 . For example, setting m11 to 2 and m22 to 1.5 will double the height and increase the width by 50%. The identity matrix has m11 , m22 , and m33 set to 1 (all others are set to 0) mapping a point to itself. Shearing is controlled by m12 and m21 . Setting these elements to values different from zero will twist the coordinate system. Rotation is achieved by setting both the shearing factors and the scaling factors. Perspective transformation is achieved by setting both the projection factors and the scaling factors.

Here’s the combined transformations example using basic matrix operations:

../../_images/qtransform-combinedtransformation2.png
def paintEvent(self, event)
    pi = 3.14

    a    = pi/180 * 45.0
    sina = sin(a)
    cosa = cos(a)

    translationTransform = QTransform(1, 0, 0, 1, 50.0, 50.0)
    rotationTransform = QTransform(cosa, sina, -sina, cosa, 0, 0)
    scalingTransform = QTransform(0.5, 0, 0, 1.0, 0, 0)

    transform = QTransform()
    transform = scalingTransform * rotationTransform * translationTransform

    painter = QPainter(self)
    painter.setPen(QPen(Qt.blue, 1, Qt.DashLine))
    painter.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100)

    painter.setTransform(transform)

    painter.setFont(QFont("Helvetica", 24))
    painter.setPen(QPen(Qt.black, 1))
    painter.drawText(20, 10, "QTransform")

Polygons and rectangles behave slightly differently when transformed (due to integer rounding), so matrix.map(QPolygon(rectangle)) is not always the same as matrix.mapToPolygon(rectangle) .

The transformation type is the highest enumeration value capturing all of the matrix’s transformations. For example, if the matrix both scales and shears, the type would be TxShear , because TxShear has a higher enumeration value than TxScale .

Knowing the transformation type of a matrix is useful for optimization: you can often handle specific types more optimally than handling the generic case.
