💖 QIconFactory 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to QIconFactory(3qt) — the lil class that makes pixmaps for a QIconSet, and honestly? it's giving backstage crew energy. nobody claps for it but nothing works without it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

QIconFactory — literally just here to create pixmaps for a QIconSet. that's the whole job. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qiconset.h>

👑 Public Members

QIconFactory ()
virtual ~QIconFactory ()
virtual QPixmap * createPixmap ( const QIconSet & iconSet,
    QIconSet::Size size, QIconSet::Mode mode, QIconSet::State state )
void setAutoDelete ( bool autoDelete )
bool autoDelete () const

🧚 Static Public Members

QIconFactory * defaultFactory ()
void installDefaultFactory ( QIconFactory * factory )

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the QIconFactory class is used to create pixmaps for a QIconSet. that's it, that's the vibe. 💅

here's the slay part: by reimplementing createPixmap(), you can override QIconSet's default algorithm for computing pixmaps that the user didn't supply. you're basically taking over the aux cord. main character energy fr fr. 🔥

and if you want the factory to automatically delete itself once QIconSet doesn't need it anymore, call setAutoDelete(TRUE). self-care, honestly. 🌈

also see QIconSet and Advanced Widgets — they're the other half of this whole situation. 🫶

💜 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 💜

QIconFactory::QIconFactory ()

constructs an icon factory. congrats, it exists now. ✨

QIconFactory::~QIconFactory () [virtual]

destroys the object and frees any allocated resources. rip bestie, you did great. 😭

bool QIconFactory::autoDelete () const

returns TRUE if auto-deletion is enabled; otherwise returns FALSE. simple as that, no plot twist. 🎀

see also setAutoDelete().

QPixmap * QIconFactory::createPixmap ( const QIconSet & iconSet, QIconSet::Size size, QIconSet::Mode mode, QIconSet::State state ) [virtual]

creates a pixmap for iconSet with a certain size, mode, and state. 💖

returns 0 if the default QIconSet algorithm should be used to create a pixmap that wasn't supplied by the user.

⚠️ heads up: it is the caller's responsibility to delete the returned pixmap. the factory is not your mom, it's not cleaning that up for you. 💀

the default implementation always returns 0. iconically lazy of it, honestly. 🙈

QIconFactory * QIconFactory::defaultFactory () [static]

returns the default icon factory. the og. the blueprint. 👑

see also installDefaultFactory().

void QIconFactory::installDefaultFactory ( QIconFactory * factory ) [static]

replaces the default icon factory with factory. out with the old, in with the new. 💅

void QIconFactory::setAutoDelete ( bool autoDelete )

if autoDelete is TRUE, sets the icon factory to automatically delete itself when it is no longer referenced by any QIconSet and isn't the default factory. 🧚

if autoDelete is FALSE (the default), auto-deletion is disabled. so by default it just... stays. iconic behavior honestly.

see also autoDelete() and defaultFactory().
