How to transffer QImage or QPixmap from one window to another using signals and slots

[swansorter]

Hi i want send Qimage or Qpixmap from one window to another ?

[jsulm]

@swansorter What exactly is the problem?
Create a signal with QImage* or QPixmap* parameter and also a slot with same parameter...

[swansorter]

@jsulm Hi i tried

I defined onGetImage on Mainwindow.h
public slots:
void onGetImage(const QImage &img);

I defined sendImage on my_qlabel.h
signals:
void sendImage(const QImage &frame);

my_qlabel *test_label=new my_qlabel();
connect(test_label,&my_qlabel::sendImage,this,&MainWindow::onGetImage);

but it is not displaying the image

What is "not displaying the image"? Your code, as shown, does not do anything about putting the received image into anything on Mainwindow in the slot!

[swansorter]

@JonB After receiving the image in the main window i am displaying the the image on qlable .there am not able to see the image.

void MainWindow::onGetImage(const QImage dat)
{

ui->label_2->setPixmap(QPixmap::fromImage(dat)); //show "image"
}

Hi,

How do you create that image ?
Is it valid ?
Are you sure that your slot is called ?

[swansorter]

@SGaist Yea its not even going to slot function only y?

[swansorter]

@swansorter I am receiving the rgb data over tcp client and then after framing the image i am sending it to mainwndow

[JonB]

@swansorter
You show a connect() but no emit sendImage(...). If you are not getting to the slot, where are you emitting the signal?

[swansorter]

@JonB
QImage img(1024, 150, QImage::Format_RGB888);

       int pixel=0;
       for (int y =  150-1; y>= 0; y--)
       {
          for (int x = 0; x < 1024; x++)
          {
               img.setPixel(x,y,qRgb(((data[pixel+2]) ),(data[pixel+1]), (data[pixel+0])));
               pixel+=3;
          }

       } 
      emit sendImage(img);

@swansorter
Either you do not hit that code or you have not connected the correct signal instance to the correct slot instance, if you say the slot is not hit. Put a qDebug() << "Slot" as first statement in onGetImage() and see whether it gets printed or not.

[swansorter]

@JonB it is not printing i tried

[JonB]

@swansorter
Then as I said

Either you do not hit that [emit] code or you have not connected the correct signal instance to the correct slot instance

[swansorter]

@JonB i tried qDebug() << "EMIT" near the emit signal. and it is executing

[JonB]

@swansorter
Then

or you have not connected the correct signal instance to the correct slot instance

(or, for example, your signal or slot objects have gone out of scope or life-time. I don't know what else to say. You know that signals & slots work, so there is a problem in your code.

Produce a minimal example. To rule out a problem with transferring a const QImage & as the parameter, temporarily change signal & slot to transfer, say, a QString, and emit sendImage("Hello"); till you get that working....

[swansorter]

@JonB i changed to Qstring and hello is not displaying. how to rectify this problem

@swansorter said in How to transffer QImage or QPixmap from one window to another using signals and slots:

my_qlabel *test_label=new my_qlabel();
connect(test_label,&my_qlabel::sendImage,this,&MainWindow::onGetImage);

Is it possible that you're creating another test_label somewhere and emit the signal there?
Without more information (code) we can't treally help.

Are you sure the connect() statement was successful?
Are you sure to use the right class instance?
Can you show my_qlabel class header?

Like I said, produce a minimal example, paste the code, and we will tell you what you are doing wrong.....
