Set tableWidget item background color 60% red and 40% white

[qDebug]

Hello!

I had an idea to visualize results displayed in a tableWidget by setting the background color. Lets say 60% voted for Pizza, i though it may be a nice idea to set the background like a progress bar to visualize it. At the moment i use QLinearGradient and it does look very nice.

QLinearGradient linearGrad(QPointF(0, 25), QPointF(fillme, 25));
linearGrad.setColorAt(0, Qt::red);
linearGrad.setColorAt(1, Qt::white);

ui->tableWidget->item(row, 8)->setBackground(linearGrad);

The downside of QLinearGradient is this fluent transition between the colors, because there is no exact endpoint. I know, i kind of use it for the wrong reason, but so far i did fail to paint the background partial. I was able to set colors and images for the background but so far only for the whole background of the item, not the just 60% of it.

Can i disable the color transition in QLinearGradient?
Is there a better solution to my problem?

Thank you!

Do you mean something like this?

QLinearGradient linearGrad(QPointF(0, 25), QPointF(fillme, 25));
linearGrad.setColorAt(0, Qt::red);
linearGrad.setColorAt(0.6, Qt::red);
linearGrad.setColorAt(0.600000001, Qt::white);
linearGrad.setColorAt(1, Qt::white);

ui->tableWidget->item(row, 8)->setBackground(linearGrad);

Not the most beautiful solution but it works.

Thank you!

Just perfect! :D
