## Method Documentation

__init__ | ( |  | self ) |

Create a new invalid shape gesture.

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QPolygon | shape
| ) |  |  |

Creates a new gesture consisting of given shape. If the gesture belongs to a KAction, and the user draws approximately the same shape on the screen while holding down the right mouse button, the action will trigger. shape must be a "reasonable" polygon. It must contain at least two points and it should contain at most 50 for performance reasons. No two consecutive points are allowed to be at the same position.

Parameters:

  | shape | shape to draw to trigger this gesture

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QString | description
| ) |  |  |

Creates a new gesture from a string description.

Parameters:

  | description | create gesture according to this

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | KShapeGesture | other
| ) |  |  |

Copies the given gesture.

Parameters:

  | other | gesture to copy

float distance | ( | self, |
|  | KShapeGesture | other,
|  | float | abortThreshold
| ) |  |  |

Return a difference measurement betwenn this gesture and the other gesture. Abort comparison if difference is larger than abortThreshold and return a very large difference in that case. Usual return values range from x to y //TODO: fill in x and y

long hashable | ( |  | self ) |

Return an opaque value for use in hash tables

bool isValid | ( |  | self ) |

Return true if this gesture is valid.

bool operator != | ( | self, |
|  | KShapeGesture | other
| ) |  |  |

Return the opposite of operator==()

bool operator == | ( | self, |
|  | KShapeGesture | other
| ) |  |  |

Return whether this gesture is equal to the other gesture.

setShape | ( | self, |
|  | QPolygon | shape
| ) |  |  |

Set the shape to draw to trigger this gesture.

setShapeName | ( | self, |
|  | QString | friendlyName
| ) |  |  |

set a user-visible name for this gesture's shape, like "triangle" or "line".

QString shapeName | ( |  | self ) |

Return the user-visible name for this gesture's shape, like "triangle" or "line".

QString toString | ( |  | self ) |

Return a string representation of this gesture. Return empty string if invalid. This function is mainly for use with config files.

  shapeName()

QByteArray toSvg | ( | self, |
|  | QString | attributes=QString()
| ) |  |  |

Return an idealized SVG image of this gesture. Return an empty image if invalid.

Parameters:

  | attributes | SVG attributes to apply to the SVG "path" element that makes up the drawing of the gesture. By default, only a 'fill="none"' attribute will be set.
