connections can be made via <a href="#connectResize">connectResize</a>() and <a href="#connectUpdate">connectUpdate</a>() to receive notification of size and pixmap changes. All decoding is driven by the normal event-processing mechanisms. <p> The movie begins playing as soon as the QMovie is created (actually, once control returns to the event loop). When the last frame in the movie has been played, it may loop back to the start if such looping is defined in the input source. <p> QMovie objects are <a href="shclass.html#explicitly-shared">explicitly shared</a>. This means that a QMovie copied from another QMovie will be displaying the same frame at all times. If one shared movie pauses, all pause. To make <em>independent</em> movies, they must be constructed separately. <p> The set of data formats supported by QMovie is determined by the decoder factories that have been installed; the format of the input is determined as the input is decoded. <p> The supported formats are MNG (if Qt is configured with MNG support enabled) and GIF (if Qt is configured with GIF support enabled, see qgif.h). <p> If Qt is configured to support GIF reading, we are required to state that "The Graphics Interchange Format(c) is the Copyright property of CompuServe Incorporated. GIF(sm) is a Service Mark property of CompuServe Incorporated. <p> <b>Warning:</b> If you are in a country that recognizes software patents and in which Unisys holds a patent on LZW compression and/or decompression and you want to use GIF, Unisys may require you to license that technology. Such countries include Canada, Japan, the USA, France, Germany, Italy and the UK. <p> GIF support may be removed completely in a future version of Qt. We recommend using the MNG or PNG format. <p> <center><img src="qmovie.png" alt="QMovie"></center> <p> <p>See also <a href="qlabel.html#setMovie">QLabel::setMovie</a>(), <a href="graphics.html">Graphics Classes</a>, <a href="images.html">Image Processing Classes</a>, and <a href="multimedia.html">Multimedia Classes</a>. <hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2> <h3 class=fn><a name="Status-enum"></a>QMovie::Status</h3> <ul> <li><tt>QMovie::SourceEmpty</tt> <li><tt>QMovie::UnrecognizedFormat</tt> <li><tt>QMovie::Paused</tt> <li><tt>QMovie::EndOfFrame</tt> <li><tt>QMovie::EndOfLoop</tt> <li><tt>QMovie::EndOfMovie</tt> <li><tt>QMovie::SpeedChanged</tt> </ul> <hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> <h3 class=fn><a name="QMovie"></a>QMovie::QMovie () </h3> Constructs a null QMovie.

You should later call <a href="#pushData">pushData</a>() to send incoming animation data to the movie. <p> The <em>bufsize</em> argument sets the maximum amount of data the movie will transfer from the data source per event loop.

The source must be allocated dynamically, because QMovie will take ownership of it and will destroy it when the movie is destroyed. The movie starts playing as soon as event processing continues. <p> The <em>bufsize</em> argument sets the maximum amount of data the movie will transfer from the data source per event loop.

If the background color isValid(), the pixmap will never have a mask because the background color will be used in transparent regions of the image. <p> <p>See also <a href="#backgroundColor">backgroundColor</a>(). <h3 class=fn>void <a name="setSpeed"></a>QMovie::setSpeed ( int percent ) </h3> Sets the movie's play speed as a percentage, to <em>percent</em>.
