\class QPaintDevice
\brief The QPaintDevice class is the base class of objects that
can be painted on with QPainter.
\ingroup painting
\inmodule QtGui
A paint device is an abstraction of a two-dimensional space that
can be drawn on using a QPainter. Its default coordinate system has
its origin located at the top-left position. X increases to the
right and Y increases downwards. The unit is one pixel.
The drawing capabilities of QPaintDevice are currently implemented
by the QWidget, QImage, QPixmap, QPicture, and QPrinter subclasses.
To implement support for a new backend, you must derive from
QPaintDevice and reimplement the virtual paintEngine() function to
tell QPainter which paint engine should be used to draw on this
particular device. Note that you also must create a corresponding
paint engine to be able to draw on the device, i.e derive from
QPaintEngine and reimplement its virtual functions.
\warning Qt requires that a QGuiApplication object exists before
any paint devices can be created. Paint devices access window
system resources, and these resources are not initialized before
an application object is created.
The QPaintDevice class provides several functions returning the
various device metrics: The depth() function returns its bit depth
(number of bit planes). The height() function returns its height
in default coordinate system units (e.g. pixels for QPixmap and
QWidget) while heightMM() returns the height of the device in
millimeters. Similiarily, the width() and widthMM() functions
return the width of the device in default coordinate system units
and in millimeters, respectively. Alternatively, the protected
metric() function can be used to retrieve the metric information
by specifying the desired PaintDeviceMetric as argument.
The logicalDpiX() and logicalDpiY() functions return the
horizontal and vertical resolution of the device in dots per
inch. The physicalDpiX() and physicalDpiY() functions also return
the resolution of the device in dots per inch, but note that if
the logical and physical resolution differ, the corresponding
QPaintEngine must handle the mapping. Finally, the colorCount()
function returns the number of different colors available for the
paint device.

\enum QPaintDevice::PaintDeviceMetric
Describes the various metrics of a paint device.
\value PdmWidth The width of the paint device in default
coordinate system units (e.g. pixels for QPixmap and QWidget). See
also width().
\value PdmHeight The height of the paint device in default
coordinate system units (e.g. pixels for QPixmap and QWidget). See
also height().
\value PdmWidthMM The width of the paint device in millimeters. See
also widthMM().
\value PdmHeightMM The height of the paint device in millimeters. See
also heightMM().
\value PdmNumColors The number of different colors available for
the paint device. See also colorCount().
\value PdmDepth The bit depth (number of bit planes) of the paint
device. See also depth().
\value PdmDpiX The horizontal resolution of the device in dots per
inch. See also logicalDpiX().
\value PdmDpiY The vertical resolution of the device in dots per inch. See
also logicalDpiY().
\value PdmPhysicalDpiX The horizontal resolution of the device in
dots per inch. See also physicalDpiX().
\value PdmPhysicalDpiY The vertical resolution of the device in
dots per inch. See also physicalDpiY().
\value PdmDevicePixelRatio The device pixel ratio for device. Common
values are 1 for normal-dpi displays and 2 for high-dpi "retina"
displays.
\value PdmDevicePixelRatioScaled The scaled device pixel ratio for the device.
This is identical to PdmDevicePixelRatio, except that the value is scaled by a
constant factor in order to support paint devices with fractional scale factors.
The constant scaling factor used is devicePixelRatioFScale(). This enum value
has been introduced in Qt 5.6.
