Use QPainter with QPixmap contain QImage

kevin32

Hi everyone, again me can you help me please ?

I convert Mat image to qimage and display in qlabel

QImage img= QImage((uchar*) frame.data, frame.cols, frame.rows, frame.step, QImage::Format_RGB888);
    // create Qpixmap from Qimage
    QPixmap pix = QPixmap::fromImage(img);
 // display the pixmap on the label
    ui->label->setPixmap(pix);

I want to use painter for display other image, my code dont work

   QPixmap pix = QPixmap::fromImage(img);
// problem here
        QPainter *painter=new QPainter(pix);
        painter->drawPixmap(0, 0, 100, 100, QPixmap("C://Users//user//Pictures//a.png"));
        painter->end();
       ui->label->setPixmap(*pix);

error: no matching function for call to 'QPainter::QPainter(QPixmap&)'
         QPainter *painter=new QPainter(pix);

how use qpainter with existing qpixmap and no create new ?

thanks :)

It's QPainter::QPainter(QPaintDevice *device) so instead of...

QPainter *painter=new QPainter(pix);

it has to be...

QPainter *painter=new QPainter(&pix);

BTW: Do you really need to create the painter in this way? Maybe it's better to just:

QPainter painter(&pix);

@Wieland thanks, but i have ```

 error: cannot convert 'QPixmap*' to 'QPainter*' in initialization
         QPainter *painter(&pix);


 // create Qpixmap from Qimage
    QPixmap pix = QPixmap::fromImage(img);


        QPainter *painter(&pix);
        painter->drawPixmap(0, 0, 100, 100, QPixmap("C://Users//user//Pictures//a.png"));
        painter->end();
       ui->label->setPixmap(pix);

Have you a idea please?

You have a typo in your code:

QPainter *painter(&pix);

Must be:

QPainter painter(&pix);
