\class QPaintDevice
\brief The QPaintDevice class is the base class of objects that
can be painted.
\ingroup painting
A paint device is an abstraction of a two-dimensional space that
can be drawn using a QPainter. Its default coordinate system has
its origin located at the top-left position. X increases to the
right and Y increases downwards. The unit is one pixel.
The drawing capabilities of QPaintDevice are currently implemented
by the QWidget, QImage, QPixmap, QGLPixelBuffer, QPicture, and
QPrinter subclasses.
To implement support for a new backend, you must derive from
QPaintDevice and reimplement the virtual paintEngine() function to
tell QPainter which paint engine should be used to draw on this
particular device. Note that you also must create a corresponding
paint engine to be able to draw on the device, i.e derive from
QPaintEngine and reimplement its virtual functions.
\warning Qt requires that a QApplication object exists before
any paint devices can be created. Paint devices access window
system resources, and these resources are not initialized before
an application object is created.
The QPaintDevice class provides several functions returning the
various device metrics: The depth() function returns its bit depth
(number of bit planes). The height() function returns its height
in default coordinate system units (e.g. pixels for QPixmap and
QWidget) while heightMM() returns the height of the device in
millimeters. Similiarily, the width() and widthMM() functions
return the width of the device in default coordinate system units
and in millimeters, respectively. Alternatively, the protected
metric() function can be used to retrieve the metric information
by specifying the desired PaintDeviceMetric as argument.
The logicalDpiX() and logicalDpiY() functions return the
horizontal and vertical resolution of the device in dots per
inch. The physicalDpiX() and physicalDpiY() functions also return
the resolution of the device in dots per inch, but note that if
the logical and physical resolution differ, the corresponding
QPaintEngine must handle the mapping. Finally, the colorCount()
function returns the number of different colors available for the
paint device.

\enum QPaintDevice::PaintDeviceMetric
Describes the various metrics of a paint device.

Destroys the paint device and frees window system resources.

Returns the device type identifier, which is QInternal::Widget
if the device is a QWidget, QInternal::Pixmap if it's a
QPixmap, QInternal::Printer if it's a QPrinter,
QInternal::Picture if it's a QPicture, or
QInternal::UnknownDevice in other cases.

called QPainter::begin() but not yet called QPainter::end() for
this device; otherwise returns false.

system units (e.g. pixels for QPixmap and QWidget).

Use colorCount() instead.
Returns the number of different colors available for the paint
device. Since this value is an int, it will not be sufficient to
represent the number of colors on 32 bit displays, in this case
INT_MAX is returned instead.
