## Detailed Description

A rectangle is normally expressed as a top-left corner and a size. The size (width and height) of a QRect is always equivalent to the mathematical rectangle that forms the basis for its rendering.

A QRect can be constructed with a set of left, top, width and height integers, or from a QPoint and a QSize. The following code creates two identical rectangles.

     QRect r1(100, 200, 11, 16);
     QRect r2(QPoint(100, 200), QSize(11, 16));

There is a third constructor that creates a QRect using the top-left and bottom-right coordinates, but we recommend that you avoid using it. The rationale is that for historical reasons the values returned by the bottom() and right() functions deviate from the true bottom-right corner of the rectangle.

The QRect class provides a collection of functions that return the various rectangle coordinates, and enable manipulation of these. QRect also provides functions to move the rectangle relative to the various coordinates. In addition there is a moveTo() function that moves the rectangle, leaving its top left corner at the given coordinates. Alternatively, the translate() function moves the rectangle the given offset relative to the current position, and the translated() function returns a translated copy of this rectangle.

The size() function returns the rectangle's dimensions as a QSize. The dimensions can also be retrieved separately using the width() and height() functions. To manipulate the dimensions use the setSize(), setWidth() or setHeight() functions. Alternatively, the size can be changed by applying either of the functions setting the rectangle coordinates, for example, setBottom() or setRight().

The contains() function tells whether a given point is inside the rectangle or not, and the intersects() function returns `true` if this rectangle intersects with a given rectangle. The QRect class also provides the intersected() function which returns the intersection rectangle, and the united() function which returns the rectangle that encloses the given rectangle and this:

intersected() | united()

The isEmpty() function returns `true` if left() > right() or top() > bottom(). Note that an empty rectangle is not valid: The isValid() function returns `true` if left() <= right() and top() <= bottom(). A null rectangle (isNull() == true) on the other hand, has both width and height set to 0.

Note that due to the way QRect and QRectF are defined, an empty QRect is defined in essentially the same way as QRectF.

Finally, QRect objects can be streamed as well as compared.

### Rendering

When using an anti-aliased painter, the boundary line of a QRect will be rendered symmetrically on both sides of the mathematical rectangle's boundary line. But when using an aliased painter (the default) other rules apply.

Then, when rendering with a one pixel wide pen the QRect's boundary line will be rendered to the right and below the mathematical rectangle's boundary line.

When rendering with a two pixels wide pen the boundary line will be split in the middle by the mathematical rectangle. This will be the case whenever the pen is set to an even number of pixels, while rendering with a pen with an odd number of pixels, the spare pixel will be rendered to the right and below the mathematical rectangle as in the one pixel case.

Logical representation | One pixel wide pen
Two pixel wide pen | Three pixel wide pen

### Coordinates

The QRect class provides a collection of functions that return the various rectangle coordinates, and enable manipulation of these. QRect also provides functions to move the rectangle relative to the various coordinates.

For example the left(), setLeft() and moveLeft() functions as an example: left() returns the x-coordinate of the rectangle's left edge, setLeft() sets the left edge of the rectangle to the given x coordinate (it may change the width, but will never change the rectangle's right edge) and moveLeft() moves the entire rectangle horizontally, leaving the rectangle's left edge at the given x coordinate and its size unchanged.

Note that for historical reasons the values returned by the bottom() and right() functions deviate from the true bottom-right corner of the rectangle: The right() function returns left() + width() - 1 and the bottom() function returns top() + height() - 1. The same is the case for the point returned by the bottomRight() convenience function. In addition, the x and y coordinate of the topRight() and bottomLeft() functions, respectively, contain the same deviation from the true right and bottom edges.

We recommend that you use x() + width() and y() + height() to find the true bottom-right corner, and avoid right() and bottom(). Another solution is to use QRectF: The QRectF class defines a rectangle in the plane using floating point accuracy for coordinates, and the QRectF::right() and QRectF::bottom() functions do return the right and bottom coordinates.

It is also possible to add offsets to this rectangle's coordinates using the adjust() function, as well as retrieve a new rectangle based on adjustments of the original one using the adjusted() function. If either of the width and height is negative, use the normalized() function to retrieve a rectangle where the corners are swapped.

In addition, QRect provides the getCoords() function which extracts the position of the rectangle's top-left and bottom-right corner, and the getRect() function which extracts the rectangle's top-left corner, width and height. Use the setCoords() and setRect() function to manipulate the rectangle's coordinates and dimensions in one go.

### Constraints

QRect is limited to the minimum and maximum values for the `int` type. Operations on a QRect that could potentially result in values outside this range will result in undefined behavior.

See also QRectF and QRegion.

See also adjust().

### `[constexpr noexcept]` int QRect::bottom() const

See also setBottom(), bottomLeft(), and bottomRight().

### `[constexpr noexcept]` QPoint QRect::bottomLeft() const

Returns the position of the rectangle's bottom-left corner. Note that for historical reasons this function returns QPoint(left(), top() + height() - 1).

See also setBottomLeft(), bottom(), and left().

### `[constexpr noexcept]` QPoint QRect::bottomRight() const

Returns the position of the rectangle's bottom-right corner.

Note that for historical reasons this function returns QPoint(left() + width() -1, top() + height() - 1).

See also setBottomRight(), bottom(), and right().

See also moveCenter().

### `[noexcept]` bool QRect::contains(const QPoint &point, bool proper = false) const

See also intersects().

### `[noexcept]` bool QRect::contains(const QRect &rectangle, bool proper = false) const

This is an overloaded function.

The intersection rectangle can be retrieved using the intersected() function.

See also contains().

### `[constexpr noexcept]` bool QRect::isEmpty() const

Returns `true` if the rectangle is empty, otherwise returns `false`.

An empty rectangle has a left() > right() or top() > bottom(). An empty rectangle is not valid (i.e., isEmpty() == !isValid()).

Use the normalized() function to retrieve a rectangle where the corners are swapped.

See also isNull(), isValid(), and normalized().

### `[constexpr noexcept]` bool QRect::isNull() const

Returns `true` if the rectangle is a null rectangle, otherwise returns `false`.

A null rectangle has both the width and the height set to 0 (i.e., right() == left() - 1 and bottom() == top() - 1). A null rectangle is also empty, and hence is not valid.

See also isEmpty() and isValid().

### `[constexpr noexcept]` bool QRect::isValid() const

Returns `true` if the rectangle is valid, otherwise returns `false`.

A valid rectangle has a left() <= right() and top() <= bottom(). Note that non-trivial operations like intersections are not defined for invalid rectangles. A valid rectangle is not empty (i.e., isValid() == !isEmpty()).
