Display xml on qlabel

jss193

Hello,

Im trying to display coordinates file into a qlabel from xml file :

$MOL

  5  6  2  0        0
  6  1  1  0        0
M  END

From this I want to see a molecule, could someone give me an idea about how to do this from file into a qlabel??

Thank you very much

Hi,

I don't want to nitpick but this is not XML at all.

Do you mean, you want to draw some sort of molecule based on this content ?

jss193

Yes, thats exactly what I wish, to display it on a qlabel, is it possible??

Thank you for your help

You'll have to start by painting on a QPixmap first.

Hi
Here is a sample of drawing on pixmap and show in a label.

int GetBarHeight(int MAX) {
  return rand() % (MAX-5)+5;
}

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_released() {
  int h = ui->label->height();
  int w = ui->label->width();
  QPixmap pix(w, h);
  QPainter paint(&pix);
  pix.fill( Qt::white );
  paint.setPen(QColor(0, 0, 0, 255));
  int y = 0;
  int x = 0;
  int bw = 10; // bar width
  for (int barcount = 0; barcount < 12; ++barcount) {
    paint.setBrush(QColor(255-x, 34+x, 255, 255));
    paint.drawRect(x, h - GetBarHeight(h),  bw, h );
    x += bw + 4;
  }
  paint.end();
  ui->label->setPixmap(pix);
}

However, to draw a molecule, you have to read that format correctly. Is it your own format or
something you found/got from another source?
It sounds a bit like https://fileinfo.com/extension/mol
which is used to describe something like
alt text
It comes in various version and contains heaps of information.
What exactly do you want to draw ?

jss193

Thats exactly what I want, but Im not sure about how to display it, creating a qpixmap object from that file?

I want to paste the code and the program to display the molecule automatically.

So grateful for your help

Hi
Well first step is to understand the format
alt text

Have you worked with this before?

mrjj

Hi
Just as update if someone finds this later.

Poster found a library http://openbabel.org/wiki/Main_Page
that can read this format and it turned out it can also export it as SVG image format.

QString smiles = ui->textEdit->toPlainText(); // this is input
string smi1 = smiles.toUtf8().constData();
OpenBabel::OBConversion conv;
conv.SetInAndOutFormats("smi","svg");
OpenBabel::OBMol mol;
conv.ReadString(&mol,smi1);
conv.WriteFile(&mol,"/path/jsfbn.svg");

and we rendered it at the wanted size and displayed in a label.

void setSVG(QLabel *label, QString FileName, int width, int height)
{
QSvgRenderer render(FileName);
render.setViewBox(QRect(0, 0, width, height));
QPixmap pix(QSize(width, height));
pix.fill(Qt::white);
QPainter p(&pix);
render.render(&p, QRect(0, 0, width, height));
label->setPixmap(pix);
label->update();

}

void MainWindow::showEvent(QShowEvent *event)
{
setSVG(ui->label, "e:/Bi0.svg", ui->label->width(), ui->label->height());
}

Just asking QLabel to show it, would scale oddly. so we used QSvgRenderer directly.
