- Qt::color0 (zero pixel value) and Qt::color1 (non-zero pixel value)
- are special colors for drawing in QBitmaps. Painting with Qt::color0
- sets the bitmap bits to 0 (transparent; i.e., background), and painting

+
+ \brief The QColorConstants namespace contains QColor predefined constants.
+
+ These constants are usable everywhere a QColor object is expected:
+
+ \code
+ painter.setBrush(QColorConstants::Svg::lightblue);
+ \endcode
+
+ Their usage is much cheaper than e.g. passing a string to QColor's constructor,
+ as they don't require any parsing of the string, and always result in a valid
+ QColor object:
+
+ \badcode
+ object.setColor(QColor("lightblue")); // expensive
+ \endcode
+
+ \section1 Qt Colors
