QImageFormatPlugin(3qt)

📦 version 3.3.8b, in fedora 43, fedora 44

✨ QImageFormatPlugin ✨

ok so bestie, welcome to the QImageFormatPlugin(3qt) man page 💖 this is from the Qt 3 era and it's giving "abstract base class for custom image format plugins" energy, and honestly? iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

QImageFormatPlugin — the abstract base for custom image format plugins, no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <qimageformatplugin.h>

💅 Public Members

QImageFormatPlugin ()
~QImageFormatPlugin ()
virtual QStringList keys () const = 0
virtual bool installIOHandler ( const QString & format ) = 0

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the QImageFormatPlugin class is literally the abstract base for custom image format plugins. That's the whole vibe.

The image format plugin is a simple plugin interface — and the way it makes it easy to create custom image formats that can be used transparently by applications? obsessed. 💖

Writing an image format plugin is achieved by subclassing this base class, reimplementing the pure virtual functions keys() and installIOHandler(), and exporting the class with the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN macro. That's the recipe, bestie — three steps and you're done. See the Plugins documentation for the deets.

👑 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 👑

QImageFormatPlugin::QImageFormatPlugin ()

Constructs an image format plugin. This one is invoked automatically by the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN macro — so not you doing it, the macro doing it. main character behavior fr.

QImageFormatPlugin::~QImageFormatPlugin ()

Destroys the image format plugin.

You never have to call this explicitly. Qt destroys a plugin automatically when it is no longer used. so like, don't worry about it, it handles itself 💅

bool QImageFormatPlugin::installIOHandler ( const QString & format ) [pure virtual]

Installs a QImageIO image I/O handler for the image format format.

See also: keys().

QStringList QImageFormatPlugin::keys () const [pure virtual]

Returns the list of image formats this plugin supports.

See also: installIOHandler().
