Attempting to change QImage text

Circuits

I have a QImage which I am painting in the constructor like so:

    QImage image(prjcfgISO11783UT_datamaskWidth+2, prjcfgISO11783UT_datamaskHeight+2, QImage::Format_Mono);
    image.fill(1);
    QPainter painter;

    painter.begin(&image);

    painter.setPen(Qt::black);
    painter.drawText(QRect(0, 0, prjcfgISO11783UT_datamaskWidth+2, prjcfgISO11783UT_datamaskHeight+2), Qt::AlignCenter, tr("Some Text..", "header with description"));

    m_image = image;

and I have a translate() method setup like so:

  bool TheObject::event(QEvent *event)
  {
    if (event->type() == QEvent::LanguageChange)
    {
      retranslate();
    }
    return false;
  }

  void DataMaskObject::retranslate()
  {
    
  }

how can I go about re-translating the text of m_image?

Hi,

Put the image setup code in its own method and call it from the constructor and retranslate.

@SGaist Is there no way to change the text created by painter.drawText inline? The QImage setText() doesn't seem to work like I think it should:

m_image.setText(tr("header"), tr("New String"));

SGaist

No, you have to redraw it as setText is for metadata.

What is the issue with the solution I suggested ?
