Function Documentation

QString GammaRay::Util::addressToString

(

const void *

p

)

Returns a string version (as a hex number starting with "0x") of the memory address p.

Parameters

p	is a pointer to an address in memory.

Returns

a QString containing the human readable address string.

bool GammaRay::Util::descendantOf	(	const QObject *	ascendant,
		const QObject *	object
	)

Determines if the QObject obj is a descendant of the QObject ascendant.

Parameters

ascendant	is a pointer to a QObject.
object	is a pointer to a QObject.

Returns

true if obj is a descendant of ascendant; false otherwise.

QString GammaRay::Util::displayString

(

const QObject *

object

)

Returns a human readable string name of the specified QObject. This does include the type name.

Parameters

object

is a pointer to a valid or null QObject.

Returns

a QString containing the human readable display string.

void GammaRay::Util::drawTransparencyPattern	(	QPainter *	painter,
		const QRect &	rect,
		int	squareSize = 8
	)

Draws a transparency pattern, i.e. the common checkerboard pattern into rect.

size The size of the individual checkerboard squares.

QString GammaRay::Util::enumToString	(	const QVariant &	value,
		const char *	typeName = 0,
		const QObject *	object = 0
	)

Translates an enum or flag value into a human readable text.

Parameters

value	The numerical value. Type information from the QVariant are used to find the corresponding QMetaEnum.
typeName	Use this if the value has type int (e.g. the case for QMetaProperty::read).
object	Additional QObject to search for QMetaEnums.

Returns

a QString containing the string version of the specified value.

template<typename T >

QString GammaRay::Util::enumToString ( T  value, const char *  typeName = 0, const QObject *  object = 0  )

inline

Convenience wrapper for the above, in case the enum value is not available in a QVariant already.

template<typename T >

T* GammaRay::Util::findParentOfType

(

QObject *

object

)

Finds the parent QObject of the specified type T, if such exists.

Parameters

object

is a pointer to a QObject.

Returns

zero on failure; else a pointer to a data type T.

QVariant GammaRay::Util::iconForObject

(

const QObject *

object

)

Returns an icon for the given object. In normal operation a QIcon is returned containing the icon most closely associated with the data type pointed to by object

Parameters

object

is a pointer to a QObject.

Returns

on failure QVariant() is returned; else a QIcon

QString GammaRay::Util::prettyMethodSignature

(

const QMetaMethod &

method

)

Returns a display string for method. This includes return types and argument names, if available.

QString GammaRay::Util::shortDisplayString

(

const QObject *

object

)

Short display string for a QObject, either the object name or the address. This does not include the type name.

Parameters

object

valid or 0 QObject

int GammaRay::Util::signalIndexToMethodIndex	(	const QMetaObject *	metaObject,
		int	signalIndex
	)

Turns a signal index into a method index. Signals indexes are used internally by QObject as an optimization and are usually not exposed in public API. If you get them nevertheless, by using internals of QObject this method turns them into method indexes that work with public QMetaObject API.

Parameters

metaObject

The meta object the signal belongs so

Since

2.2

QString GammaRay::Util::tooltipForObject

(

const QObject *

object

)

Returns a suitable rich text tooltip string for object.

Parameters

object

a pointer to a valid or null QObject.
