DESCRIPTION
The QRect class defines a rectangle in the plane.A rectangle is internally represented as an upper-left corner and a bottom-right corner, but it is normally expressed as an upper-left corner and a size.
The coordinate type is QCOORD (defined in qwindowdefs.h as int). The minimum value of QCOORD is QCOORD_MIN (-2147483648) and the maximum value is QCOORD_MAX (2147483647).
Note that the size (width and height) of a rectangle might be different from what you are used to. If the top-left corner and the bottom-right corner are the same, the height and the width of the rectangle will both be 1.
Generally, width = right - left + 1 and height = bottom - top + 1. We designed it this way to make it correspond to rectangular spaces used by drawing functions in which the width and height denote a number of pixels. For example, drawing a rectangle with width and height 1 draws a single pixel.
The default coordinate system has origin (0, 0) in the top-left corner. The positive direction of the y axis is down, and the positive x axis is from left to right.
A QRect can be constructed with a set of left, top, width and height integers, from two QPoints or from a QPoint and a QSize. After creation the dimensions can be changed, e.g. with setLeft(), setRight(), setTop() and setBottom(), or by setting sizes, e.g. setWidth(), setHeight() and setSize(). The dimensions can also be changed with the move functions, e.g. moveBy(), moveCenter(), moveBottomRight(), etc. You can also add coordinates to a rectangle with addCoords().
You can test to see if a QRect contains a specific point with contains(). You can also test to see if two QRects intersect with intersects() (see also intersect()). To get the bounding rectangle of two QRects use unite().
See also QPoint, QSize, Graphics Classes, and Image Processing Classes.

Example: tooltip/tooltip.cpp.
bool QRect::contains ( const QPoint & p, bool proper = FALSE ) const
Returns TRUE if the point p is inside or on the edge of the rectangle; otherwise returns FALSE.If proper is TRUE, this function returns TRUE only if p is inside (not on the edge).
Example: t14/cannon.cpp.
bool QRect::contains ( int x, int y ) const
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above 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 member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.Returns TRUE if the point x, y is inside this rectangle; otherwise returns FALSE.
If proper is TRUE, this function returns TRUE only if the point is entirely inside (not on the edge).
bool QRect::contains ( const QRect & r, bool proper = FALSE ) const
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.Returns TRUE if the rectangle r is inside this rectangle; otherwise returns FALSE.
If proper is TRUE, this function returns TRUE only if r is entirely inside (not on the edge).
See also unite(), intersect(), and intersects().
void QRect::coords ( int * xp1, int * yp1, int * xp2, int * yp2 ) const
Extracts the rectangle parameters as the top-left point *xp1, *yp1 and the bottom-right point *xp2, *yp2.See also setCoords() and rect().

An empty rectangle is not valid. isEmpty() == !isValid()
See also isNull(), isValid(), and normalize().
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, that is right() == left() - 1 and bottom() == top() - 1.

A null rectangle is not valid.
See also isEmpty() and isValid().
bool QRect::isValid () const
