Some questions regarding image manipulation (.net -> QT)

Hio, i just started with QT and I want to port some of my stuff from win to mac.

But currently I'm a bit stuck at this point:

I use lockbits in vb.net to get the most speed to manipulate images (as far as I know this should be the fastest way in vb.net). This is a small example how to invert an image

Code:

---

Public Shared Function Invert_Image(ByVal doImage As Bitmap) As Bitmap
 
        Dim imageData As BitmapData = doImage.LockBits(New Rectangle(0, 0, doImage.Width, doImage.Height), _
        System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
 
        Dim pointer0 As IntPtr = imageData.Scan0
        Dim stride As Integer = imageData.Stride
 
        Dim pixels(doImage.Width * doImage.Height - 1) As Integer
 
        Copy(pointer0, pixels, 0, pixels.Length)
 
        For i As Integer = 0 To pixels.Length - 1
            pixels(i) = (Not pixels(i) And &HFFFFFF) Or (pixels(i) And &HFF000000)
        Next i
 
        Copy(pixels, 0, pointer0, pixels.Length)
 
        doImage.UnlockBits(imageData)
 
        Return doImage
    End Function

And this is the point where my questions starts...is there a similar way to manipulate images in QT?
I've read the documentation for QImage but I still don't understand wether QImage got something like this lockbits or wether QT got maybe some even faster methode.

Would some one clarify this to me maybe with some small example?

Thx in advance

Yes, see QImage::bits().

Example:

Code:

---

quint32 *p = (quint32*)image->bits();
    quint32 *end = (quint32*)(image->bits() + image->byteCount());
    uint xorbits = 0x00ffffff;
 
    while (p < end)
        *p++ ^= xorbits;
 
    QImage fixedImage(resultSize, QImage::Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied);
    QPainter painter(&fixedImage);
    painter.drawImage(imagePos(*image), *image);
    painter.end();
    ui->label->setPixmap(QPixmap::fromImage(fixedImage));
 
    *image = fixedImage;

---

Where image is a QImage pointer.
And ui->label is a QLabel.

thx for the answers.
But is this the fastest way to manipulate an image using QT(i mean not using some asm inside QT)?

i gonna test this later tbscope, thx

Yes, this is the fastest way. bits() gives you direct access to pixel data.
