QPixMap management

[JacobNovitsky]

I need to place some objects in QWindow
Qty = 80xQPixMap
I want to set dimensions for each and automatically place it and browse those images with pushButton

I can have needed effect with TableView, but it does not look as enterprise variant
If still to consider TableView, I could use it if you can hide visible TableView components

Basically I need sane and flexible way to manage QPixMap within QWindow or any other GUI interface

@JacobNovitsky
Especially if your images are different sizes you may want to consider Flow Layout Example rather than a tabular layout.

[JacobNovitsky]

@JonB Is there any sample available so I can see ready product?

[JonB]

@JacobNovitsky How do you mean, it is already "ready"? Download from https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/examples/widgets/layouts/flowlayout?h=6.8

How can I integrate images to be used with below?

@JacobNovitsky
Images are shown on QLabels. Use those as the widgets you add to the FlowLayout.
