    @Christian-Ehrlicher double. Eigen::MatrixXd mean a matrix of dynamic size and double type.
    The problem(@jsulm mentioned) is wrong direction.
    I print the value of src_row[x], this is incorrect value.

    // the first pixel in the loop
    qDebug() << src_row[x];
    // output:
    // 1.05908e-319

    Eigen uses expression templates and lazy-evaluation. You're taking a pointer to data contained in an rvalue here src.row(y).data(). Anything can be there after the object goes out of scope.

      I want to convert matrixXd of Eigen to QImage(format, grayscale)。Here is my code, but the result is wrong. I am newer in QT and Eigen.

      ObjWindow::ObjWindow(QWidget *parent) :
          QWidget(parent),
          ui(new Ui::ObjWindow)
      {
          ui->setupUi(this);
          int height = 100;
          int width = 100;
      
          Eigen::MatrixXd doubleM(height, width);
      
          for (int i = 0;i<height; i++)
          {
              for (int k = 0; k<width; k++)
              {
                  if (i>=50) {
                      doubleM(i, k) = 200;
                  };
      
              };
          };
          QImage xx = Eigen2QImage(doubleM);
          ui->label->setPixmap(QPixmap::fromImage(xx));
      
      }
      
      QImage ObjWindow::Eigen2QImage(const MatrixXd &src)
      {
          double scale = 255.0;
          double max_value = src.maxCoeff();
          double min_value = src.minCoeff();
          QImage dest(src.cols(), src.rows(), QImage::Format_Grayscale8);
      
          for (int y = 0; y < src.rows(); ++y)
          {
              const double *src_row = src.row(y).data();
              uchar * destrow = dest.scanLine(y);
              for (int x = 0; x < src.cols() ; ++x)
              {
                  uchar gray = (uchar)(src_row[x] / max_value * 255);
                  destrow[x] = gray;
              }
          }
          return dest;
      }

      @hei6775 said in convert Eigen MatrixXd to QImage:

      I think you should change this to:

      const auto srcRow = src.row(y);
      const double *src_row = srcRow.data();
      

      To not loose temporary container

          This doesn't seem to work

              What is the problem with auto and Eigen?
              Can you explain more, I don't know Eigen and always pleased to complete my knowledge about C++ :)

                I'm going to spare you my personal opinion on auto, but this is it:

                @kshegunov said in convert Eigen MatrixXd to QImage:

                Eigen uses expression templates and lazy-evaluation.

                And here's a reference if you want to read even more: https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/TopicPitfalls.html
                In a nutshell Eigen builds up a sort of a parse tree from its methods and delays evaluation to the last possible moment. It has the advantage that it's really efficient to pack up complex expressions in a single pass, but doesn't play well with auto, because auto captures a type which isn't a real type, but rather an "evaluation step" type.

                  Thanks for the link, so if I understand it right, there should be a call to eval() to ensure getting right type:
                  So this should then work?

                  const auto srcRow = src.row(y).eval();
                  const double *src_row = srcRow.data();

                          It would be better to not use auto but to specify right variable type like:
