bool QPixmap::load ( const QString & fileName, const char * format = 0, Qt::ImageConversionFlags flags = Qt::AutoColor )
Loads a pixmap from the file with the given fileName. Returns true if the pixmap was successfully loaded; otherwise returns false.
The loader attempts to read the pixmap using the specified format. If the format is not specified (which is the default), the loader probes the file for a header to guess the file format.
The file name can either refer to an actual file on disk or to one of the application's embedded resources. See the Resource System overview for details on how to embed pixmaps and other resource files in the application's executable.
If the data needs to be modified to fit in a lower-resolution result (e.g. converting from 32-bit to 8-bit), use the flags to control the conversion.
Note that QPixmaps are automatically added to the QPixmapCache when loaded from a file; the key used is internal and can not be acquired.
