AFAIK a picture is non-destructive, ie. it doesn't destroy the vector data
which is used to render the image.
On the other hand it is non editable, because you have no way to change the
vector data.

There still exist the QPicture, containing the calls to the render API which
were used
to render the image? This meta file can later be replayed on another
QPainter.

Is a KWord picture more sucha meta file, ore merely a QImage where the ector
data, like EPS, isn't discarded?

Would it be useful to be able to "export" a Karbon document to a "picture",
and vice versa?

Would it be possible to use the IMHO more powerful rendering model of Karbon
for other Office applications? This could mean that that Painter API should
be extended, because it is not really complete?
This would also allow that a KWord picture could contains calls for the more
advanced VPainter API instead of the current QPainter API (if it really is a
QPIcture)

Dirk
