QEventPoint Class

Property Documentation

accepted : bool

This property holds the accepted state of the event point.

In widget-based applications, this property is not used, as it's only meaningful for a widget to accept or reject a complete QInputEvent.

In Qt Quick however, it's normal for an Item or Event Handler to accept only the individual points in a QTouchEvent that are actually participating in a gesture, while other points can be delivered to other items or handlers. For the sake of consistency, that applies to any QPointerEvent; and delivery is done only when all points in a QPointerEvent have been accepted.

Access functions:

See also QEvent::accepted.

[read-only] device : QPointingDevice* const

This property holds the pointing device from which this event point originates.

Access functions:

[read-only] ellipseDiameters : const QSizeF

This property holds the width and height of the bounding ellipse of the touch point.

The return value is in logical pixels. Most touchscreens do not detect the shape of the contact point, and no mice or tablet devices can detect it, so a null size is the most common value. On some touchscreens the diameters may be nonzero and always equal (the ellipse is approximated as a circle).

Access functions:

[read-only] globalGrabPosition : const QPointF

This property holds the global position at which this point was grabbed.

The global position is relative to the screen or virtual desktop.

Access functions:

See also globalPosition, grabPosition, and sceneGrabPosition.

[read-only] globalLastPosition : const QPointF

This property holds the global position of this point from the previous press or move event.

The global position is relative to the screen or virtual desktop.

Access functions:

See also globalPosition, lastPosition, and sceneLastPosition.

[read-only] globalPosition : const QPointF

This property holds the global position of this point.

The global position is relative to the screen or virtual desktop.

Access functions:

See also globalPressPosition, position, and scenePosition.

[read-only] globalPressPosition : const QPointF

This property holds the global position at which this point was pressed.

The global position is relative to the screen or virtual desktop.

Access functions:

See also globalPosition, pressPosition, and scenePressPosition.

[read-only] grabPosition : const QPointF

This property holds the position at which this point was grabbed.

The position is relative to the widget or item that received the event.

Access functions:

See also position.

[read-only] id : const int

This property holds the ID number of this event point.

Access functions:

[read-only] lastPosition : const QPointF

This property holds the position of this point from the previous press or move event.

The position is relative to the widget or item that received the event.

Access functions:

See also position and pressPosition.

[read-only] lastTimestamp : const ulong

This property holds the time from the previous QPointerEvent that contained this point.

Access functions:

See also globalLastPosition.

[read-only] position : const QPointF

This property holds the position of this point.

The position is relative to the widget or item that received the event.

Access functions:

[read-only] pressPosition : const QPointF

This property holds the position at which this point was pressed.

The position is relative to the widget or item that received the event.

Access functions:

See also position.

[read-only] pressTimestamp : const ulong

This property holds the most recent time at which this point was pressed.

Access functions:

See also timestamp.

[read-only] pressure : const qreal

This property holds the pressure of this point.

The return value is in the range 0.0 to 1.0.

Access functions:

[read-only] rotation : const qreal

This property holds the angular orientation of this point.

The return value is in degrees, where zero (the default) indicates the finger, token or stylus is pointing upwards, a negative angle means it's rotated to the left, and a positive angle means it's rotated to the right. Most touchscreens do not detect rotation, so zero is the most common value.

Access functions:

[read-only] sceneGrabPosition : const QPointF

This property holds the scene position at which this point was grabbed.

The scene position is the position relative to QQuickWindow if handled in QQuickItem::event(), in QGraphicsScene coordinates if handled by an override of QGraphicsItem::touchEvent(), or the window position in widget applications.

Access functions:

See also scenePosition, grabPosition, and globalGrabPosition.

[read-only] sceneLastPosition : const QPointF

This property holds the scene position of this point from the previous press or move event.

The scene position is the position relative to QQuickWindow if handled in QQuickItem::event(), in QGraphicsScene coordinates if handled by an override of QGraphicsItem::touchEvent(), or the window position in widget applications.

Access functions:

See also scenePosition and scenePressPosition.

[read-only] scenePosition : const QPointF

This property holds the scene position of this point.

The scene position is the position relative to QQuickWindow if handled in QQuickItem::event(), in QGraphicsScene coordinates if handled by an override of QGraphicsItem::touchEvent(), or the window position in widget applications.

Access functions:

See also scenePressPosition, position, and globalPosition.

[read-only] scenePressPosition : const QPointF

This property holds the scene position at which this point was pressed.

The scene position is the position relative to QQuickWindow if handled in QQuickItem::event(), in QGraphicsScene coordinates if handled by an override of QGraphicsItem::touchEvent(), or the window position in widget applications.

Access functions:

See also scenePosition, pressPosition, and globalPressPosition.

[read-only] state : const State

This property holds the current state of the event point.

Access functions:

[read-only] timeHeld : const qreal

This property holds the duration, in milliseconds, since this point was pressed and not released.

Access functions:

See also pressTimestamp and timestamp.

[read-only] timestamp : const ulong

This property holds the most recent time at which this point was included in a QPointerEvent.

Access functions:

See also QPointerEvent::timestamp().

[read-only] uniqueId : const QPointingDeviceUniqueId

This property holds the unique ID of this point or token, if any.

It is often invalid (see isValid()), because touchscreens cannot uniquely identify fingers.

When it comes from a QTabletEvent, it identifies the serial number of the stylus in use.

It may identify a specific token (fiducial object) when the TUIO driver is in use with a touchscreen that supports them.

Access functions:

[read-only] velocity : const QVector2D

This property holds a velocity vector, in units of pixels per second, in the coordinate. system of the screen or desktop.

Access functions:

See also QInputDevice::capabilities() and QInputEvent::device().
