Like QPrinter, it is + designed as a write-only device that generates output in a specific format. + + To write an SVG file, you first need to configure the output by setting the \l fileName + or \l outputDevice properties. It is usually necessary to specify the size of the drawing + by setting the \l size property, and in some cases where the drawing will be included in + another, the \l viewBox property also needs to be set. + + \snippet examples/painting/svggenerator/window.cpp configure SVG generator + + Other meta-data can be specified by setting the \a title, \a description and \a resolution + properties. + + As with other QPaintDevice subclasses, a QPainter object is used to paint onto an instance + of this class: + + \snippet examples/painting/svggenerator/window.cpp begin painting + \dots + \snippet examples/painting/svggenerator/window.cpp end painting + + Painting is performed in the same way as for any other paint device. However, + it is necessary to use the QPainter::begin() and \l{QPainter::}{end()} to + explicitly begin and end painting on the device. + + The \l{SVG Generator Example} shows how the same painting commands can be used + for painting a widget and writing an SVG file. + + \sa QSvgRenderer, QSvgWidget, {About SVG} */ /*! |
