<!-- $$$QImageReader-description -->
<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QImageReader class provides a format independent interface for reading images from files or other devices.</p>
<p>The most common way to read images is through <a href="qimage.html">QImage</a> and <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a>'s constructors, or by calling <a href="qimage.html#load">QImage::load</a>() and <a href="qpixmap.html#load">QPixmap::load</a>(). QImageReader is a specialized class which gives you more control when reading images. For example, you can read an image into a specific size by calling <a href="qimagereader.html#setScaledSize">setScaledSize</a>(), and you can select a clip rect, effectively loading only parts of an image, by calling <a href="qimagereader.html#setClipRect">setClipRect</a>(). Depending on the underlying support in the image format, this can save memory and speed up loading of images.</p>
<p>To read an image, you start by constructing a QImageReader object. Pass either a file name or a device pointer, and the image format to QImageReader's constructor. You can then set several options, such as the clip rect (by calling <a href="qimagereader.html#setClipRect">setClipRect</a>()) and scaled size (by calling <a href="qimagereader.html#setScaledSize">setScaledSize</a>()). <a href="qimagereader.html#canRead">canRead</a>() returns the image if the QImageReader can read the image (i.e., the image format is supported and the device is open for reading). Call <a href="qimagereader.html#read">read</a>() to read the image.</p>
<p>If any error occurs when reading the image, <a href="qimagereader.html#read">read</a>() will return a null <a href="qimage.html">QImage</a>. You can then call <a href="qimagereader.html#error">error</a>() to find the type of error that occurred, or <a href="qimagereader.html#errorString">errorString</a>() to get a human readable description of what went wrong.</p>
<p>Call <a href="qimagereader.html#supportedImageFormats">supportedImageFormats</a>() for a list of formats that QImageReader can read. QImageReader supports all built-in image formats, in addition to any image format plugins that support reading.</p>
<p>QImageReader autodetects the image format by default, by looking at the provided (optional) format string, the file name suffix, and the data stream contents. You can enable or disable this feature, by calling <a href="qimagereader.html#setAutoDetectImageFormat">setAutoDetectImageFormat</a>().</p>

It then uses the following approach to detect the image format:</p>
<ul>
<li>Image plugins are queried first, based on either the optional format string, or the file name suffix (if the source device is a file). No content detection is done at this stage. <a href="qimagereader.html">QImageReader</a> will choose the first plugin that supports reading for this format.</li>
<li>If no plugin supports the image format, Qt's built-in handlers are checked based on either the optional format string, or the file name suffix.</li>
<li>If no capable plugins or built-in handlers are found, each plugin is tested by inspecting the content of the data stream.</li>
<li>If no plugins could detect the image format based on data contents, each built-in image handler is tested by inspecting the contents.</li>
<li>Finally, if all above approaches fail, <a href="qimagereader.html">QImageReader</a> will report failure when trying to read the image.</li>
</ul>
<p>By disabling image format autodetection, <a href="qimagereader.html">QImageReader</a> will only query the plugins and built-in handlers based on the format string (i.e., no file name extensions are tested).</p>

<p>Reading and writing SVG files is supported through Qt's <a href="qtsvg.html">SVG Module</a>.</p>
<p>TGA support only extends to reading non-RLE compressed files. In particular calls to <a href="http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qimageioplugin.html#capabilities">capabilities</a> for the tga plugin returns only <a href="qimageioplugin.html#Capability-enum">QImageIOPlugin::CanRead</a>, not <a href="qimageioplugin.html#Capability-enum">QImageIOPlugin::CanWrite</a>.</p>
<p>To configure Qt with GIF support, pass <tt>-qt-gif</tt> to the <tt>configure</tt> script or check the appropriate option in the graphical installer.</p>
<p>Note that the <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a> instance must be created before this function is called.</p>

<p>Different image formats support different options. Call this function to determine whether a certain option is supported by the current format. For example, the PNG format allows you to embed text into the image's metadata (see <a href="qimagereader.html#text">text</a>()), and the BMP format allows you to determine the image's size without loading the whole image into memory (see <a href="qimagereader.html#size">size</a>()).</p>
