GraphicsView -> Problem when maximizing window

Harish Balakrishnan

Hi, I am a newbie. I have set graphicsview(with a background image) as my central widget. When I Maximize my window , the background image in the graphics view keeps repeating and doesn't get maximized. I have tried almost all of the formatting options in the mainWindow.ui form editor.

My objective is to have a background picture in my window and it should maximize along with the window (when the window is maximized) .

Any sample code or guidance will be helpful.

Thanks in Advance .

Hi ,
The following code is in my mainwindow.cpp file.
I have just included a background-image to my graphicsview. When I build and run my project, the image in the graphicsview takes its own resolution, i.e., it doesn't fit exactly into my graphicsview. And when I maximize my mainwindow to fit the entire screen, the image in the graphicsview repeats ( my screen resolution is larger than the image resolution) .
I am sure I am yet to learn some basic stuff but I just cant figure out what it is.

<mainwindow.cpp>

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
this->setCentralWidget(ui->graphicsView);
ui->graphicsView->setStyleSheet("background-image: url(:/my/coffee-cup-01.jpg)");
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}

Try using border image

@ui->graphicsView->setStyleSheet("border-image: url(:/my/coffee-cup-01.jpg)”);@
