Detailed Description

Methods to get information about image format names and the corresponding mime type.

Also, you can get information about supported image types without loading all the imageformat plugins.

The image processing backends are written as image handlers compatible with the QImageIOHandler format. The backends are Qt imageformat plugins. Each format can be identified by a unique type id string.

Formats:

Currently supported formats include:

• BMP <read> <write>
• EPS <read> <write>
• EXR <read>
• G3 <read>
• GIF <read>
• ICO <read>
• JP2 <read> <write>
• JPEG <read> <write>
• NETPBM <read> <write>
• PCX <read> <write>
• PNG <read> <write, only with newer libraries>
• TGA <read> <write>
• TIFF <read>
• XBM <read> <write>
• XPM <read> <write>
• XV <read> <write>

Enumeration Type Documentation

Mode

enum KImageIO::Mode

Possible image file access modes.

Used in various KImageIO static function.

Definition at line 53 of file kimageio.h.

Function Documentation

isSupported()

bool KImageIO::isSupported	(	const QString &	mimeType,
		Mode	mode = Writing
	)

Test to see whether a MIME type is supported to reading/writing.

Parameters

_mimeType	the MIME type to check
_mode	Tells whether to check for reading or writing capabilities

Returns

true if the type is supported

Deprecated:

since 5.0, use QImageReader/QImageWriter::supportedMimeTypes() instead.

Definition at line 102 of file kimageio.cpp.

mimeTypes()

QStringList KImageIO::mimeTypes

(

Mode

mode = Writing

)

Returns a list of MIME types for all KImageIO supported formats.

Parameters

mode	Tells whether to retrieve modes that can be read or written.

Returns

a list if MIME types of the supported formats

Deprecated:

since 5.0, use QImageReader/QImageWriter::supportedMimeTypes() instead.

Definition at line 69 of file kimageio.cpp.

pattern()

QString KImageIO::pattern

(

Mode

mode = Reading

)

Returns a list of patterns of all KImageIO supported formats.

kimgio.h – Implementation of interface to the KDE Image IO library.

These patterns can be passed to KFileDialog::getOpenFileName() or KFileDialog::getSaveFileName(), for example.

Parameters

mode	Tells whether to retrieve modes that can be read or written.

Returns

a space-separated list of file globs that describe the supported formats

Deprecated:

since 5.0, use QIMageReader/QImageWriter::supportedMimeTypes() and QFileDialog::setMimeTypeFilters() instead.

typeForMime()

QStringList KImageIO::typeForMime

(

const QString &

mimeType

)

Returns the type of a MIME type.

Parameters

mimeType

the MIME type to search

Returns

type id(s) of the MIME type or QStringList() if the MIME type is not supported

Deprecated:

since 5.0, use QMimeType::suffixes() instead().

Definition at line 54 of file kimageio.cpp.

types()

QStringList KImageIO::types

(

Mode

mode = Writing

)

Returns a list of all KImageIO supported formats.

Parameters

mode	Tells whether to retrieve modes that can be read or written.

Returns

a list of the type ids

Deprecated:

since 5.0, use QImageReader/QImageWriter::supportedImageFormats() instead.
