Detailed Description

The PySide.QtCore.QLineF class provides a two-dimensional vector using floating point precision.

A PySide.QtCore.QLineF describes a finite length line (or line segment) on a two-dimensional surface. PySide.QtCore.QLineF defines the start and end points of the line using floating point accuracy for coordinates. Use the PySide.QtCore.QLineF.toLine() function to retrieve an integer based copy of this line.

The positions of the line’s start and end points can be retrieved using the PySide.QtCore.QLineF.p1() , PySide.QtCore.QLineF.x1() , PySide.QtCore.QLineF.y1() , PySide.QtCore.QLineF.p2() , PySide.QtCore.QLineF.x2() , and PySide.QtCore.QLineF.y2() functions. The PySide.QtCore.QLineF.dx() and PySide.QtCore.QLineF.dy() functions return the horizontal and vertical components of the line, respectively.

The line’s length can be retrieved using the PySide.QtCore.QLineF.length() function, and altered using the PySide.QtCore.QLineF.setLength() function. Similarly, PySide.QtCore.QLineF.angle() and PySide.QtCore.QLineF.setAngle() are respectively used for retrieving and altering the angle of the line. Use the PySide.QtCore.QLineF.isNull() function to determine whether the PySide.QtCore.QLineF represents a valid line or a null line.

The PySide.QtCore.QLineF.intersect() function determines the QLineF.IntersectType for this line and a given line, while the PySide.QtCore.QLineF.angle() function returns the angle between the lines. In addition, the PySide.QtCore.QLineF.unitVector() function returns a line that has the same starting point as this line, but with a length of only 1, while the PySide.QtCore.QLineF.normalVector() function returns a line that is perpendicular to this line with the same starting point and length.

Finally, the line can be translated a given offset using the PySide.QtCore.QLineF.translate() function, and can be traversed using the PySide.QtCore.QLineF.pointAt() function.

PySide.QtCore.QLineF.IntersectType

Describes the intersection between two lines.

QLineF.UnboundedIntersection	QLineF.BoundedIntersection

Constant	Description
QLineF.NoIntersection	Indicates that the lines do not intersect; i.e. they are parallel.
QLineF.UnboundedIntersection	The two lines intersect, but not within the range defined by their lengths. This will be the case if the lines are not parallel.

PySide.QtCore.QLineF.intersect() will also return this value if the intersect point is within the start and end point of only one of the lines.

Constant	Description
QLineF.BoundedIntersection	The two lines intersect with each other within the start and end points of each line.

PySide.QtCore.QLineF.angle(l)

Parameters:l – PySide.QtCore.QLineF Return type:PySide.QtCore.qreal

Returns the angle (in degrees) between this line and the given line , taking the direction of the lines into account. If the lines do not intersect within their range, it is the intersection point of the extended lines that serves as origin (see QLineF.UnboundedIntersection ).

When the lines are parallel, this function returns 0 if they have the same direction; otherwise it returns 180.
