`(deprecated)` QPixmap | pixmap(Qt::ReturnByValueConstant) const

## Member Function Documentation

### `[since 5.15]` 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.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.15.

See also setPicture().

### `[since 5.15]` 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);

This function was introduced in Qt 5.15.

See also setPixmap().
