# Qt 3 Support Members for QPixmap

The following class members are part of the Qt 3 support layer. They are provided to help you port old code to Qt 4. We advise against using them in new code.

- QPixmap class reference

### Public Types

- enum ColorMode { Auto, Color, Mono }

### Public Functions

- QPixmap ( const QString & fileName, const char * format, ColorMode mode )
- bool convertFromImage ( const QImage & image, ColorMode mode )
- bool convertFromImage ( const QImage & image, Qt::ImageConversionFlags flags = Qt::AutoColor )
- QImage convertToImage () const
- bool load ( const QString & fileName, const char * format, ColorMode mode )
- bool loadFromData ( const uchar * buf, uint len, const char * format, ColorMode mode )
- QPixmap xForm ( const QMatrix & matrix ) const
- operator QImage () const

- 8 public functions inherited from QPaintDevice

## Member Type Documentation

### enum QPixmap::ColorMode

This enum type defines the color modes that exist for converting QImage objects to QPixmap.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QPixmap::Auto` | `0` | Select `Color` or `Mono` on a case-by-case basis.
`QPixmap::Color` | `1` | Always create colored pixmaps.
`QPixmap::Mono` | `2` | Always create bitmaps.

## Member Function Documentation

### QPixmap::QPixmap ( const QString & fileName, const char * format, ColorMode mode )

Use the constructor that takes a Qt::ImageConversionFlag instead.

See also ColorMode and Qt::ImageConversionFlag.

### bool QPixmap::convertFromImage ( const QImage & image, ColorMode mode )

Use fromImage() instead.

### bool QPixmap::convertFromImage ( const QImage & image, Qt::ImageConversionFlags flags = Qt::AutoColor )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Use fromImage() instead.

### QImage QPixmap::convertToImage () const

Use toImage() instead.

### bool QPixmap::load ( const QString & fileName, const char * format, ColorMode mode )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Use the load() function that takes a Qt::ImageConversionFlag instead.

See also ColorMode and Qt::ImageConversionFlag.

### bool QPixmap::loadFromData ( const uchar * buf, uint len, const char * format, ColorMode mode )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Use the loadFromData() function that takes a Qt::ImageConversionFlag instead.

See also ColorMode and Qt::ImageConversionFlag.

### QPixmap QPixmap::xForm ( const QMatrix & matrix ) const

Use transform() instead.

### QPixmap::operator QImage () const

Returns the pixmap as a QImage.

This automatic conversion is disabled when `QT3_SUPPORT` is not defined. Use toImage() instead.
