## Member Function Documentation

### `[since 5.15]` QPicture QLabel::picture(Qt::ReturnByValueConstant) const

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. 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.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.15.

See also setPicture().

### `[since 5.15]` QPixmap QLabel::pixmap(Qt::ReturnByValueConstant) const

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. 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);

This function was introduced in Qt 5.15.
