QPainter save() and restore()

[Asperamanca]

When using QPainter::save(),
"A save() must be followed by a corresponding restore()"

The safest way to ensure this would be to use the RAII idiom, much like in QMutexLocker and friends.

Does such a convenience class already exist for QPainter?

AFAIK it does not. But it should be easy to create one :-)

[Asperamanca]

Yes it is. Took about 5 Minutes.

Still, it's so easy I thought someone would have already done it in Qt.

You could contribute it to Qt via http://www.qt-project.org/

Or leave it as a snippet in the "wiki":/wiki/Category:Snippets for the time being :)
