object for caching the pixmaps.
The cache associates a pixmap with a string as a key or with a QPixmapCache::Key.
- The QPixmapCache::Key is faster than using strings as key.
+ The QPixmapCache::Key is faster than using strings as key. The string API is
+ very convenient for complex keys but the QPixmapCache::Key API will be very efficient
+ and convenient for a 1 object <-> 1 pixmap mapping (then you can store the key as
+ a member).
If two pixmaps are inserted into the cache using equal keys, then the
last pixmap will hide the first pixmap. The QHash and QCache classes do
exactly the same.
