How do I create a scribble area with Qt Designer

I am using Qt Designer to create a ui file. I want to add a scribble area but I don't see any scribble widget in the sidebar that I can just drag to add a scribble area. How should I do this?

Hi
What is a scribble area ?
There is the example
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-widgets-scribble-example.html

Do you mean how to reuse this or ?

Well the sample is not a plugin so its not available as a widget in Designer.

You will have to add the .cpp and .h files to your project and
then create an instance in code.

Or use the promotion feature
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/designer-using-custom-widgets.html

This is a kind of place holder thing. where you then can use a plain QWidget to design with
and then at run time, it will be your custom widget.

If this is still not what you want/ask, please take an extra moment to give better details of what you mean
by scribble area and "I mean how do I do it with Qt Designer?" :)

A scribble area is either based on QGraphicsView or you use a QPainter to paint on your widget directly.
In both ways, you have to configure your wanted behavior inside your code. There is not ready-to-work plugin or widget, that does that.

Thank you. I will keep that in mind.
