Returns a new rectangle with dx1, dy1, dx2 and dy2 added respectively to the existing coordinates of this rectangle.

See also setBottom(), bottomLeft(), and bottomRight().

QPoint QRect::bottomLeft() const

Returns the position of the rectangle's bottom-left corner. Note that for historical reasons this function returns QPoint(left(), top() + height() - 1).

See also setBottomLeft(), bottom(), and left().

QPoint QRect::bottomRight() const

Returns the position of the rectangle's bottom-right corner.

Note that for historical reasons this function returns QPoint(left() + width() -1, top() + height() - 1).

See also setBottomRight(), bottom(), and right().

QPoint QRect::center() const

Returns the center point of the rectangle.

See also moveCenter().

bool QRect::contains(const QPoint &point, bool proper = false) const

Returns true if the given point is inside or on the edge of the rectangle, otherwise returns false. If proper is true, this function only returns true if the given point is inside the rectangle (i.e., not on the edge).

See also intersects().

bool QRect::contains(const QRect &rectangle, bool proper = false) const

This is an overloaded function.

Returns true if the given rectangle is inside this rectangle. otherwise returns false. If proper is true, this function only returns true if the rectangle is entirely inside this rectangle (not on the edge).

bool QRect::contains(int x, int y) const

This is an overloaded function.

Returns true if the point (x, y) is inside this rectangle, otherwise returns false.

bool QRect::contains(int x, int y, bool proper) const

This is an overloaded function.

Returns true if the point (x, y) is inside or on the edge of the rectangle, otherwise returns false. If proper is true, this function only returns true if the point is entirely inside the rectangle(not on the edge).

void QRect::getCoords(int *x1, int *y1, int *x2, int *y2) const

See also setHeight(), width(), and size().

QRect QRect::intersected(const QRect &rectangle) const

Returns the intersection of this rectangle and the given rectangle. Note that r.intersected(s) is equivalent to r & s.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

See also intersects(), united(), and operator&=().

bool QRect::intersects(const QRect &rectangle) const

The intersection rectangle can be retrieved using the intersected() function.

See also contains().

bool QRect::isEmpty() const

Returns true if the rectangle is empty, otherwise returns false.

An empty rectangle has a left() > right() or top() > bottom(). An empty rectangle is not valid (i.e., isEmpty() == !isValid()).

Use the normalized() function to retrieve a rectangle where the corners are swapped.

See also isNull(), isValid(), and normalized().

bool QRect::isNull() const

Returns true if the rectangle is a null rectangle, otherwise returns false.

A null rectangle has both the width and the height set to 0 (i.e., right() == left() - 1 and bottom() == top() - 1). A null rectangle is also empty, and hence is not valid.

See also isEmpty() and isValid().

bool QRect::isValid() const

Returns true if the rectangle is valid, otherwise returns false.

A valid rectangle has a left() <= right() and top() <= bottom(). Note that non-trivial operations like intersections are not defined for invalid rectangles. A valid rectangle is not empty (i.e., isValid() == !isEmpty()).

See also isNull(), isEmpty(), and normalized().
