Have to give the command twice to perform a function

thescouse

Hi everyone.
I developed a function that draws a rectangle. It works just fine, takes the input from mouse events and all, but there is just this one quirk...I have to press the rectangle button on the toolbar twice to draw the rectangle. When I first click on the button and draw on the screen...nothing is visible. But when I press the button again the rectangle turns visible. Can anyone tel me what the problem can be?

Hi,

Can you paste the relevent code ?

@void paint::drawrectangle()
{@

@ QPainter painter(&image);
painter.setPen(QPen(PenColor, PenWidth, Qt::SolidLine, Qt::RoundCap,
Qt::MiterJoin));@
@painter.drawRect(rectangle);
int rad = (PenWidth / 2) + 2;@
@update(rectangle.normalized().adjusted(-rad, -rad, +rad, +rad));
if(i==0)
{
++i;
drawrectangle();
}

}

Sorry to say but i can't understand your code. Can you just explain what gets called when ? Also what is "rectangle" that you have passed to drawRect() ? Is i initialised to 0 before ?

@void ImageViewer::rectangle()
{

if(count == 0)
{
    painter =  new paint;
    imageLabel->clear();
    setCentralWidget(painter);
    painter->openImage(file);
    count++;

}
painter->pen = false;
painter->drawrectangle();

}@

Sorry, forgot this.

What is the "rectangle" in painter.drawRect(rectangle) ?
