Qt5 documentation QLayout.getContentsMargins()

[VinsS]

Hi,
In the doc [1], the method getContentsMargins() of QLayout take four arguments and doesn't return nothing.

Is it a bug in the doc ?

If I do:

(PyQt user)
layout = QtWidgets.QGridLayout()
print('Margins:', layout.getContentsMargins())

Margins: (9, 9, 9, 9)

[1] http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/qlayout.html

the method takes pointers (IN parameters):
@
int left,
int top,
int right,
int bottom,
layout->getContentsMargins(&left,&top,&right,&bottom);
qDebug() << left << top << right << bottom; //variables contain margin values
@
the method sets the values on the pointers (if they are not NULL).
So it's not a bug ;)

Note: there is also another method which return a QMargins object: QLayout::contentsMargins()

Ok, the usage is just different by the language C++ >> Python.

Thanks.

ye...seems like the python binding doesn't take arguments for getContentsMargins() and returns a list with 4 elements.
