@mayyy said in How can I locate an image in a specific cell of a grid?:
the last one is the method display and it is empty
What display method?
One more thing: the painting must be done in paintEvent, not in constructor!

ok, i will repeat the code , I i thought it is correct coz didn't show any error and thank u

Hi
So you could have a list of the cells
int boardList [8][8];
and put zero in for it being free and else a number indicating
what piece is there?
You can use an enum to make it more readable
enum PieceType {free, king, queen, rook, bishop, knight, pawn };
and do
boardList[1][2] = pawn;
and do
boardList[2][2] =boardList[1][2]
boardList[1][2] =free;
to move it to 2,2 and set 1,2 to freeThis is very basic. a nicer version could be made.

}Hi ,thank you @mrjj for the idea.

Because your painter does not know where to paint - set the device:
QPainter painter(this); // Or whatever widget you want to paint on
