<![CDATA[QPainterPath::contains - Docs too brief]]>@bool QPainterPath::contains ( const QRectF & rectangle ) const

Returns true if the given rectangle is inside the path, otherwise returns false.@

Does it mean completely contained? Partially contained? All corners contained? All lines contained?

I wouldn't dare to update the documentation based on some trial and error. The docs need to describe how the method is expected to perform (and any deviation from that is then a good basis for a bug report).

You can test, and maybe update the documentation with your findings (or file a bug report for that).

But for example, if I have a painter path in form of a pac man (circle with open triangular mouth), and a rectangle which is completely inside the pac man's bounding rectangle, but partially visible in the mouth - is that rectangle considered "contained"?

It's usually hard to say for sure when dealing with floating point numbers.
