"""
. if you search for the above qrc_resources import,
you'll find no obvious references to it;
but instead you'll find things like this:
QIcon(":/editmirror.png")
-- the ":/" tells the system to look in the resource file;
and, that's where it will find editmirror.png .
. after it does the imports,
it will know qrc_resources is the resource file .
. use of a resource file imbedded with the app
is the only way express locations in a way that
works on all platforms .
. making the resource file is a process:
first we make this resources.qrc file:
<!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0">
<qresource>
<file alias="filenew.png">images/filenew.png</file>
...
<file>help/index.html</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>
. then in the top of the examples folder,
you'll find makepyqt.pyw .
. if you run that, then it makes the resource file,
qrc_resources.py, which contains this:
from PyQt4 import QtCore
qt_resource_data = "\x00\x00\x08\x15\..."
qt_resource_struct = "\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00..."
def qInitResources():
QtCore.qRegisterResourceData(0x01, qt_resource_struct,
qt_resource_name, qt_resource_data)
def qCleanupResources():
QtCore.qUnregisterResourceData(0x01,
qt_resource_struct, qt_resource_name, qt_resource_data)
qInitResources()
#. end of file .
. when you import that, it's calling qInitResources,
which in turn calls QtCore.qRegisterResourceData .
. this is convenient for many small resources,
but for large help files, it is quadrupling the size
by translating every byte into a 4byte-hex string .

""". the status bar:
http://qt-project.org/doc/.../QStatusBar.html
The QStatusBar class provides a horizontal bar
suitable for presenting status information.
Each status indicator falls into one of three categories:
# Normal:
. occupies part of the status bar
and may be hidden by temporary messages.
. displayed by creating a small widget
(QLabel, QProgressBar or even QToolButton)
and then adding it using the addWidget();
retrieved using statusBar();
replaced using setStatusBar()
or use removeWidget() .
# Permanent:
. is never hidden. for example, a Caps Lock indicator .
. use addPermanentWidget() .
# Temporary:
. use showMessage(), then use clearMessage(),
or set a time limit when calling showMessage().
currentMessage() retrieves the temporary message .
By default QStatusBar provides a QSizeGrip
in the lower-right corner.
You can disable it using setSizeGripEnabled().
. isSizeGripEnabled() indicates current visibility .
. we turn the sizegrip off because it
"(seems inappropriate when we plan to have
an indicator label that shows the image's dimension)
-- apparently when you reach for the grip,
it shows you the window's current dimensions .
