Rotate an QLabel

[CptN3m0]

@jsulm is there any other way to rotate QLabel? Or just an image inside QLabel.

Hi
Yes, you can paint to a pixmap and set that to QLabel.

QPixmap pix(500,500);
QPainter paint (&pix);
.. rotate and draw text..
label->addPixmap(pix);

Hi,

Or you can use QImage::transformed passing it a rotation matrix.

Okey I found a solution for me

QPixmap pixmap(*ui->label->pixmap());
QMatrix rm;
rm.rotate(50);
pixmap = pixmap.transformed(rm);
ui->label->setPixmap(pixmap);

but the problem ist now, Im trying to draw the pixmap every time at the different rotate which was saved at mine vector. what is happening, it´s just rotate further

@CptN3m0
Well the normal solution is to keep the original unrotated bitmap and
assign a copy to the label. Then when new rotate is need , the original image is used
and not the already rotated version.

You can also rotate it back, and rotate to a new angle but that often
distorts the image slowly.

@mrjj can u write an example?

Hi,

Where does your QPixmap come from in the first place ?

@CptN3m0
Wait i just realized. you are just doing it to rotate text right ?
Not the actual image ?
So only the text matters. so u can just clear it and redraw text.

QPixmap pixmap(*ui->label->pixmap());
pixmap.fill( Qr::red ); // just clear old
QMatrix rm;
rm.rotate(50);
pixmap = pixmap.transformed(rm);
...drawtext..
ui->label->setPixmap(pixmap);

@mrjj seems like it is a text, instead .png file

[mrjj]

@CptN3m0
So you have 2.png in a resource file ?
alo, the goal is to rotate text, so the image has nothing u want to show. Just used to draw the text on ?

[CptN3m0]

@mrjj I need to rotate this 2.png inside my QLabel. There is no thext inside

@CptN3m0
Ok, so the the goal is to rotate 2.png ? and not text.
Anyhow, just add a QPixmap to .h and save the
2.png to it.
Then when you rotate always use the copy and not the already rotated one.
