    Hi,
    I want to paint a lot of shape via QPainter so I need Scroll to show all of them.
    I make a QScrollArea and must to add a widget to it but I can't handle QPainter where to paint shapes.

    this function draw a line that is too long.
    @
    void MainWindow::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *)
    {
    QPainter painter(this);
    painter.setPen(Qt::blue);
    painter.drawLine(30,30,30,300);
    painter.drawLine(30,300,3000000,300);
    }
    @

    this is the Constructor of mianwindow that I want to handle Scroll:
    @
    MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
    {
    ui->setupUi(this);
    QScrollArea *area = new QScrollArea();
    (......)
    }
    @

    so what i should to do in (......) ??!!

      Please check out the forum for "writing tags around your code sections.":http://qt-project.org/wiki/ForumHelp#e3f82045ad0f480d3fb9e0ac2d58fb01

      Did you check out already the "image viewer example?":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/widgets-imageviewer.html It uses a painter too.

      Vote the answer(s) that helped you to solve your issue(s)

          why wasn't it useful?

          Beside you can use QGraphicsView if you like.

          If you want to stick to the QPainter approach you shouldn't override MainWindow::paintEvent() and do the painting there.Instead you should cretae a simple QWidget subclass, do the painting there and add this widget to the QScrollArea.
