Detailed Description

Widget class for video playing

This widget is a xanim wrapper to easily allow the video playing on your applications.

KXAnim(QWidget *parent, const char *name=0) [public]

Constructor. The parent argumet is NOT optional.

void setFile(QString file) [public]

Use this method to tell the player the name of the file to play. The file will not start to play until you call the play() slot. You need to call stop() before you can set a new filename.

After call this method, you should wait for an stopped signal. Just then, the information about the file will be available.

Also check for KXAnim::getErrorNumber and getErrorString to know if there was some error.

void setAutoResize(bool val) [public]

If val==true, the widget will resize by himself after the setFile() to fit to the size of the video. If val==false, the video size will be adjusted to fit to the widget size.

The size of the widget is automatically updated by setFile and play But if you need to know the effective size of the widget *before* you call play, you need to call updateSize manually.

Default is true

bool getAutoResize() [public]

Returns the auto-resize state (see setAutoResize ).

void updateSize() [public]

Updates the widget size to fit video size (taking care of the scale factors that applies). See setAutoResize .

void setLoop(bool val) [public]

If val==true, the video will loop forever.

Default is true

bool getLoop() [public]

Returns the loop state ( see setLoop ).

QString getVideoFileName() [public]

Returns the current video file name (or an empty string, if there's no video yet).

int getVideoHeight() [public]

Returns the video height (in pixels).

int getVideoWidth() [public]

Returns the video height (in pixels).

float getVideoSpeed() [public]

Returns the video playback speed (in frames per second).

int getVideoFrames() [public]

Returns the number of frames in the video.

QString getVideoCodec() [public]

Returns the string that describes the video codec.

QString getErrorCode() [public]

Returns the the error code number. You should check this number after a setFile . If the code is zero, the there were no errors. To get a string containing a description see getErrorCode .

QString getErrorString() [public]

Returns the string that describes the error during setFile .

bool isPlaying() [public]

Returns true is the video is in play mode. Otherwise it reurns false.

bool isActive() [public]

Returns true is the video is active. Otherwise it reurns false. The widget is NOT Active only when it's stopped. Therefore, you can use this method to check if the video is REALLY stopped.

void resetXAnimDefaults() [public]

This method reset all the configuration parameters to their default values.

void setAudio(bool val) [public]

If val==true, enables sound output.

Default is true

void setAudioSync(bool val) [public]

If val==true, allows xanim skip video frames for audio sync.

Default is true

void setInitialVolume(int val) [public]

Sets the initial audio volume.

Default is 40

enum colorMap ( static332, lookupTable, grayScale, none ) [public]

See setColorMapping .

void setColorMapping(colorMap val) [public]

Tells KXAnim wich type of color mappint to use for non truecolor displays.

If val==KXAnim::static322, xanim will convert truecolor anims to static 322.

If val==KXAnim::lookupTable, xanim will sample the color of truecolor animations ahead of time and forms a color lookup table.

If val==KXAnim::grayScale, xanim will convert TrueColor animations to gray scale.

Those three option are ignored for TrueColor and DirectColor displays.

if val==KXAnim::none, xanim will use the default color mapping.

Default is KXAnim::none

void setColorAhead(int val) [public]

This sets the number of frames ahead to use for the look up table when using KXAnim::lookupTable in setColorMapping .

Default is 5

void setGammaDisplay(float val) [public]

Set gamma of display. Gamma's greater than 1.0 typically brighten the animation.

Default is 1.0

void setResizing(bool val) [public]

If val==true, the video size can be changed "on the fly".

Default is true

void setScaleFactor(float val) [public]

Scale the size of anim by "val" before displaying.

Default is 1.0 (no scaling)

void setScaleHFactor(float val) [public]

Scale the horizontal size of anim by "val" before displaying.

Default is 1.0 (no scaling)

void setScaleVFactor(float val) [public]

Scale the vertical size of anim by "val" before displaying.

Default is 1.0 (no scaling)

void setScaleWidth(int val) [public]

Scale the animation to have width "val" before displaying.

Default is 0 (no scaling)

void setScaleHeight(int val) [public]

Scale the animation to have height "val" before displaying.

Default is 0 (no scaling)

void setScaleDisplayToBuffer(bool val) [public]

Copy display scaling factors to buffering scaling factors.

Default is false.

void setScaleFactorB(float val) [public]

Scale the size of anim by "val" before buffering it.

Default is 1.0 (no scaling)

void setScaleHFactorB(float val) [public]

Scale the horizontal size of anim by "val" before buffering it.

Default is 1.0 (no scaling)

void setScaleVFactorB(float val) [public]

Scale the vertical size of anim by "val" before buffering it.

Default is 1.0 (no scaling)

void setScaleWidthB(int val) [public]

Scale the animation to have width "val" before buffering it.

Default is 0 (no scaling)

void setScaleHeightB(int val) [public]

Scale the animation to have height "val" before buffering it.

Default is 0 (no scaling)

void setScaleBufferToDisplay(bool val) [public]

Copy buffering scaling factors to display scaling factors.

Default is false.

void setLoading(int val) [public]

0: KXAnim will load the entire video into memory.

1: KXAnim will load and decompress the animation entirely into memory before displaying.

2: KXAnim will read each sector only when needed

Default is 2.

void setX11Shared(bool val) [public]

If val==true, KXAnim will use X11 shared memory (this is mutually exclusive with setPreload .

Default is false.

void setMultiBuffer(bool val) [public]

If val==true, KXAnim will use X11 Buffering (if present) to smooth animations by double-buffering.

Default is true.

void setUsePixmap(bool val) [public]

If val==true, KXAnim will use Pixmap instead of Image in X11shared. This option has no effect if the animation is buffered.

Default is false.

void setX11VisualClass( const char *val) [public]

Select the best "X11 Visual of Class..." when displaying the animation. val can be anyone of the following strings and is case insensitive:

default staticgray grayscale staticcolor pseudocolor truecolor directcolor

Default is "default".

void setPauseAt(int val) [public]

This will pause XAnim at frame "val". val=-1 disables this option.

Default is -1 (no pause).

void setExtraParameters(const char *val) [public]

Use this method to pass any extra parametrs you want to xanim (separated by spaces).

void setExecutable(const char *val) [public]

Use this method to set the executable name for xanim. Dafault is "xanim", but you can change it, for instance, if you don't have xanim in the path.

void play() [public slot]

Start playing the video.

void pause() [public slot]

Pauses the video playing (xanim is still runnig).

void stop() [public slot]

Stops the video and exit xanim (don't worry about it, it's transparent for the class user).

Note: calling this slot doesn't mean that the video will stop inmediatly. Use the stopped signal to know exactly when the player is set to the inactive mode (see isActive ).

void stepForward() [public slot]

Single step forward one frame. Pauses the video playing.

void stepBack() [public slot]

Single step back one frame. Pauses the video playing.

void stepForwardWA() [public slot]

Single step forward one frame staying with anim. Pauses the video playing.

void stepBackWA() [public slot]

Increase animation playback speed.

void slower() [public slot]

Decrease animation playback speed.

void resetSpeed() [public slot]

Reset animation playback speed to original values.

void changeProperty( const char * c) [protected]

Don't use it!. This is internally used for the communication with xanim.

void stopped() [signal]

This signal is emitted after a call to the stop() slot, and means that the player has REALLY stop the playing (it is: that xanim is inactive) (see stop ).

void mouseClick( QMouseEvent *) [signal]

This signal is emitted when the user clicks into the widget.
