[deprecated] QPicture QLabel::picture(Qt::ReturnByValueConstant) const

This function is deprecated. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Use the overload without argument instead.

Returns the label's picture.

Previously, Qt provided a version of picture() which returned the picture by-pointer. That version is now removed. This overload allowed to explicitly differentiate between the by-pointer function and the by-value.

See also setPicture().

[deprecated] QPixmap QLabel::pixmap(Qt::ReturnByValueConstant) const

This function is deprecated. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Use the overload without argument instead.

Returns the label's pixmap.

Previously, Qt provided a version of pixmap() which returned the pixmap by-pointer. That version has now been removed. This overload allowed to explicitly differentiate between the by-pointer function and the by-value.

 QPixmap pixmapVal = label->pixmap(Qt::ReturnByValue);
