The QImageWriter class provides a format independent interface for writing images to files or other devices.
C++ class: QImageWriter
.
The QImageWriter class provides a format independent interface for writing images to files or other devices.
QImageWriter supports setting format specific options, such as the gamma level, compression level and quality, prior to storing the image. If you do not need such options, you can use QImage::save() or QPixmap::save() instead.
To store an image, you start by constructing a QImageWriter object. Pass either a file name or a device pointer, and the image format to QImageWriter's constructor. You can then set several options, such as the gamma level (by calling setGamma()) and quality (by calling setQuality()). canWrite() returns true
if QImageWriter can write the image (i.e., the image format is supported and the device is open for writing). Call write() to write the image to the device.
If any error occurs when writing the image, write() will return false. You can then call error() to find the type of error that occurred, or errorString() to get a human readable description of what went wrong.
Call supportedImageFormats() for a list of formats that QImageWriter can write. QImageWriter supports all built-in image formats, in addition to any image format plugins that support writing.

Sets the quality setting of the image format to quality.
Some image formats, in particular lossy ones, entail a tradeoff between a) visual quality of the resulting image, and b) encoding execution time and compression level. This function sets the level of that tradeoff for image formats that support it. For other formats, this value is ignored.
The value range of quality depends on the image format. For example, the "jpeg" format supports a quality range from 0 (low visual quality, high compression) to 100 (high visual quality, low compression).

.
This is an image format specific function that sets the subtype of the image to type. Subtype can be used by a handler to determine which format it should use while saving the image.
For example, saving an image in DDS format with A8R8G8R8 subtype:
QImageWriter writer(“some/image.dds”); if (writer.supportsOption(QImageIOHandler::SubType)) writer.setSubType(“A8R8G8B8”); writer.write(image);
This function was introduced in Qt 5.4.
See also subType().

text: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>
)
pub unsafe fn set_text( &self, key: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>>, text: impl CastInto<Ref<QString>> )

Calls C++ function: void QImageWriter::setText(const QString& key, const QString& text)
.

QImage image("some/image.jpeg"); QImageWriter writer("images/outimage.png", "png"); writer.setText("Author", "John Smith"); writer.write(image);
If you want to store a single block of data (e.g., a comment), you can pass an empty key, or use a generic key like "Description".
The key and text will be embedded into the image data after calling write().
Support for this option is implemented through QImageIOHandler::Description.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.1.
See also QImage::setText() and QImageReader::text().
