<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QPaintDevice class is the base class of objects that can be painted.</p>
<p>A paint device is an abstraction of a two-dimensional space that can be drawn using a <a href="qpainter.html">QPainter</a>. 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.</p>
<p>The drawing capabilities of QPaintDevice are currently implemented by the <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>, <a href="qimage.html">QImage</a>, <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a>, <a href="qglpixelbuffer.html">QGLPixelBuffer</a>, <a href="qpicture.html">QPicture</a>, and <a href="qprinter.html">QPrinter</a> subclasses.</p>
<p>To implement support for a new backend, you must derive from QPaintDevice and reimplement the virtual <a href="qpaintdevice.html#paintEngine">paintEngine</a>() function to tell <a href="qpainter.html">QPainter</a> 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 <a href="qpaintengine.html">QPaintEngine</a> and reimplement its virtual functions.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> Qt requires that a <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a> 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.</p>
<p>The QPaintDevice class provides several functions returning the various device metrics: The <a href="qpaintdevice.html#depth">depth</a>() function returns its bit depth (number of bit planes). The <a href="qpaintdevice.html#height">height</a>() function returns its height in default coordinate system units (e.g. pixels for <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> and <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>) while <a href="qpaintdevice.html#heightMM">heightMM</a>() returns the height of the device in millimeters. Similiarily, the <a href="qpaintdevice.html#width">width</a>() and <a href="qpaintdevice.html#widthMM">widthMM</a>() functions return the width of the device in default coordinate system units and in millimeters, respectively. Alternatively, the protected <a href="qpaintdevice.html#metric">metric</a>() function can be used to retrieve the metric information by specifying the desired <a href="qpaintdevice.html#PaintDeviceMetric-enum">PaintDeviceMetric</a> as argument.</p>
<p>The <a href="qpaintdevice.html#logicalDpiX">logicalDpiX</a>() and <a href="qpaintdevice.html#logicalDpiY">logicalDpiY</a>() functions return the horizontal and vertical resolution of the device in dots per inch. The <a href="qpaintdevice.html#physicalDpiX">physicalDpiX</a>() and <a href="qpaintdevice.html#physicalDpiY">physicalDpiY</a>() functions also return the resolution of the device in dots per inch, but note that if the logical and physical resolution differ, the corresponding <a href="qpaintengine.html">QPaintEngine</a> must handle the mapping. Finally, the <a href="qpaintdevice.html#colorCount">colorCount</a>() function returns the number of different colors available for the paint device.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="physicalDpiY"></a><span class="type">int</span> QPaintDevice::<span class="name">physicalDpiY</span> () const</h3>
<p>Returns the horizontal resolution of the device in dots per inch. For example, when printing, this resolution refers to the physical printer's resolution. The logical DPI on the other hand, refers to the resolution used by the actual paint engine.</p>
<p>Note that if the physicalDpiY() doesn't equal the <a href="qpaintdevice.html#logicalDpiY">logicalDpiY</a>(), the corresponding <a href="qpaintengine.html">QPaintEngine</a> must handle the resolution mapping.</p>
