Rotating a QWidget containing a QQuickView

agiova

Hi,

I need to rotate a qml map object but the map is an external plugin-in and doesn't support bearing. So since the map is contained into a QWidget I thought I can be able to rotate the QWidget si that the QQuickView will rotate and with it also the map.

This is my piece of cose that actually I use to set the QQuickView to the containe QWidget:

    view = new QQuickView();
    view->setResizeMode(QQuickView::SizeRootObjectToView);
    container = QWidget::createWindowContainer(view, this);
    container->setFocusPolicy(Qt::TabFocus);
    view->setSource(QUrl("qrc:/qml/Map.qml"));
    container->setGeometry(10,10,400,400);

I also tried implementing the solution posted here but without any success. The following is the code I tried with the above suggestion:

    view = new QQuickView();
    view->setResizeMode(QQuickView::SizeRootObjectToView);
    container = QWidget::createWindowContainer(view, this);
    container->setFocusPolicy(Qt::TabFocus);
    view->setSource(QUrl("qrc:/qml/Map.qml"));
    container->setGeometry(10,10,400,400);
    rotating = new RotateWidget(this);
    rotating->setBaseWidget(container);

Please cosider that container is a QWidget while view of course QQuickView, while rotating is a RotateWidget class, that is the class implemented in the post linked above.

I'm using Qt 5.9.1 minGW 32bit on windows.

What I would like to do is just to rotate the map putting the north-up (the default), south-up, east-up or west-up, but I'm stuck on this.
Every suggestion will be helpful.

Thanks in advance!
