Detailed Description

This is a widget used to display animation using multiple individual pixmaps. This widget allows you to deal with variable size icons (e.g., ones that will change based on a global setting) as it loads the icons internally. All you need to do is pass along a list of icon names and their size and everything else is taken care of.

This widget also emits a 'clicked()' signal when it received a mouse press event.

A quick example:


 QStringList icons;
 icons.append("one");
 icons.append("two");
 icons.append("three");
 KAnimWidget *anim = new KAnimWidget(icons, 0, this);
 anim->start();

That example will search for the pixmaps "one.png", "two.png", and "three.png" in the share/icons/small/ directories as well as the app's pics directory.

 KAnimWidget ( const QStringList& icons, int size = 0, QWidget *parent = 0L, const char *name = 0L )

This is the most common constructor. Pass along your list of icons to use for the animation and an optional size to load and you're set. If you omit the size, the default size will be used.

Parameters:
iconsThe icons to use for the animation
sizeThe size to load You don't have to set it if the parent is a KToolBar; in this case it will use the toolbar's size.
parentThe standard parent
nameThe standard internal name

 KAnimWidget ( QWidget *parent = 0L, const char *name = 0L )

Default constructor. This will not do anything until you use setIcons later.

Parameters:
parentThe standard parent
nameThe standard internal name

Parameters:
sizeThe size of the icons

void  setIcons ( const QStringList& icons )
