Line drawing using qpainter

[deathholes]

After trying many things and failed, i finally came here to do what i was trying.
I want to display lines which are stored in a file named "line.txt" in comma seperated values.
i have successfully read the values, but unable to draw them on the screen.
please help.

Hi!

You need to re-implement

@void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *);@

Inside it, create a QPainter. With it, call drawLine (look "here":https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qpainter.html#drawLine). Hope this helps.

the method you likely want is the drawText().

Notice that you may just want to use a QTextDocument, which has a paint method too.

Or even higher level, use the QTextEdit widget.

i have tried it but somehow it is not working. It is working for a single line. but for drawing multiple lines it doesn't show them all.

Ok , i tried again and succeeded this time.
method used:
read all the lines from the file into a qvector<qline> and used qpainter::drawlines() to draw the lines all at a time.
