Detailed Description

Interface to the KDE Image IO plugin architecture.

This library allows KDE applications to read and write images in a variety of formats, transparently via the QImage and QPixmap load and save methods.

The image processing backends are written as image handlers compatible with the QImageIO handler format. The backends are loaded on demand when a particular format is requested.

Formats

Currently supported formats include:

Usage

Simply call the KImageIO::registerFormats() static method declared in kimgageio.h.

Example 


	#include
 	#include

	int main( int argc, char **argv )
	{
		....
		KImageIO::registerFormats();
		
		...	// start main program
	}
