    Hi there.
    This is my code for an eraser:
    @void Imageviewer::penErase()
    {
    QColor newcolor = QColorDialog::getColor();;
    if(count==0)
    {
    painter=new paint;
    imagelabel->clear();
    setCentralWidget(painter);
    painter->openImage(fileName);
    count++;
    }@
    @painter->setPenColor(255,255,255);@

    I want to set the color for the brush as white so that it acts as an eraser. can anyone help me make the required changes

      do you mean QBrush? Because it's not clear whats the base class type of "paint".

      QBrush has an "constructor":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qbrush.html#QBrush-3 which accepts a QColor as parameter.

          ok but a QPainter doesn't have a method called setPenColor(). So i guess you have implemented it?!
          If so it should be analog for the brush.

            I created that function:
            void paint::setPenColor(const QColor &newColor)
            //! [5] //! [6]
            {
            myPenColor = newColor;
            }

            Parts declared in paint.h header file{
            void setPenColor(const QColor &newColor);

            QColor myPenColor;}

            These are the extra info. related to the function

                QPainter::setPen(QColor) and QPainter::setBrush(QColor)

                but i don't know what you actually are doing. :)

                you defined the method as
                @paint::setPenColor(const QColor &newColor)@
                but using it as
                @painter->setPenColor(255,255,255);@

                This can't work.

                    use the 2 QPainter methods i've posted.

                    and as i said, the code you've posted isn't clear to me, so i can't help you with the information you have posted so far.

                      hmm...okay...so like I have to choose the white color. How to use the setpen method?
                      what's the exact code for that...
                      (sorry for asking the exact thing...usually i would have worked it out, but i have to show this in half an hour...so, i think u can understand the desperation) :P

                        @
                        painter; //your QPainter instance

                        painter->setPen( QColor(Qt::white) );
                        painter->setBrush( QColor(Qt::white) );
                        @

                        good luck!

                            okay..I implemented what you said.
                            But now it shows these errors:
                            invalid use of incomplete type 'struct ImageViewer'
                            &
                            forward declaration of 'struct ImageViewer'

                            before this it didn't show these...what's the problem?
