Detailed Description

The length stores a length and converts between units.

This is a trivial class that helps with length storage and conversions. Lengthes are stored intenally in 1/360mm, which allows conversions between units without rounding error.

The class "length" is known to the QMetaType systen and can be used as a custom type in QVariant.

Member Enumeration Documentation

unit

enum length::unit

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

length() [1/2]

length::length ( qreal l, unit u )

inline

Constructs length of given value and unit.

Parameters

l	Scalar value of the length
u	Unit for the length

Definition at line 59 of file length.h.

length() [2/2]

length::length ( QString lstring, bool * ok = 0 )

inlineexplicit

Constructs length from a string.

This is a convenience method that calls set(QString) internally.

Parameters

lstring	A string of the form "<number> unit", such as "12.3 mm".
ok	If the string is not recoginzed *ok is set to false and the paper size if empty. Otherwise, *ok is set to true.

Definition at line 72 of file length.h.

Definition at line 124 of file length.h.

set() [1/2]

void length::set	(	qreal	l,
		unit	u )

Sets length.

Parameters

l	Scalar value of the length
u	Unit for the length

set() [2/2]

bool length::set

(

QString

lstring

)

Constructs length from a string.

Parameters

lstring

A string of the form "<number> unit", such as "12.3 mm".

Returns

If a conversion error occurs, false is returned and the length is undefined. Otherwise, the method returns true.
