DESCRIPTION
The QStyleOption class specifies optional parameters for QStyle functions.

Some QStyle functions take an optional argument specifying extra information that is required for a paritical primitive or control. So that the QStyle class can be extended, QStyleOption is use to give a variable-argument for these options.

The QStyleOption class has constructors for each type of optional argument, and this set of constructors may be extended in future Qt releases. There are also corresponding access functions that return the optional arguments - these too may be extended.

For each constructor, you should refer to the documentation of the QStyle functions to see the meaning of the arguments.

When calling QStyle functions from your own widgets, you must only pass either the default QStyleOption or the argument that QStyle is documented to accept. For example, if the function expects QStyleOption(QMenuItem *, int), passing QStyleOption(QMenuItem *) leaves the optional integer argument uninitialized.

When subclassing QStyle, you must similarly only expect the default or documented arguments. The other arguments will have uninitialized values.

If you make your own QStyle subclasses and your own widgets, you can make a subclass of QStyleOption to pass additional arguments to your QStyle subclass. You will need to cast the "const QStyleOption&" argument to your subclass, so be sure your style has been called from your widget.

Pass four integers, in1, in2, in3 and in4.

QStyleOption::QStyleOption ( QMenuItem * m )
Pass a menu item, m.

QStyleOption::QStyleOption ( QMenuItem * m, int in1 )
Pass a menu item and an integer, m and in1.

QStyleOption::QStyleOption ( QMenuItem * m, int in1, int in2 )
Pass a menu item and two integers, m, in1 and in2.

QStyleOption::QStyleOption ( const QColor & c )
Pass a color, c.

QStyleOption::QStyleOption ( QTab * t )

QStyleOption::QStyleOption ( Qt::ArrowType a )
Pass an Qt::ArrowType, a.

Qt::ArrowType QStyleOption::arrowType () const

int QStyleOption::maxIconWidth () const
Returns the maximum width of the menu item check area if the appropriate constructor was called, else undefined.

QMenuItem * QStyleOption::menuItem () const
Returns a menu item if the appropriate constructor was called, else undefined.

int QStyleOption::midLineWidth () const
