QPixmap QtMac::fromCGImageRef(CGImageRef image)

Returns a QPixmap that is equivalent to the given image.

This function is not available in Qt 5.x until 5.0.2 and will return a null pixmap in earlier versions.

See also toCGImageRef() and Pixmap Conversion.

void QtMac::setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(int number)
