how to insert an image in a QFile generated file using HTML

ManiRon

I want to create a report in which i want to display an logo . I have opened a document using Qfile and i am writing data and creating table in that file using html so similarly i want to display the logo in that file . Ya exactly i create an HTML report and want to show or display or print a logo in that file which i am not able to do

Like @jsulm I am still at a loss about what you are asking. I don't know what your code is about either, it opens files (for read/write at that), then doesn't use them....

All you can do is if your HTML contains

<img src="Logo1.png" alt="Test" >

then there needs to be a file named Logo1.png in the directory where that HTML is executed from. How it gets there is irrelevant: it might be something already there, you might create it from code, I don't know, but that's what you need. QFile is not needed, and cannot somehow be "passed" to HTML.

@JonB said in how to insert an image in a QFile generated file using HTML:

<img src="Logo1.png" alt="Test" >

could you please give an example for printing the image using html in a html file using QFile concept in QT

@ManiRon If you don't explain how you're showing or printing your report nobody will be able to help you...
Is this "printing" you mean

qData << qTextRep.document()->toHtml();

?
To display this report you can simply open the HTML document in a web browser (the picture must be in the same directory as the HTML document!). Or show it in Qt Web Engine.

@jsulm actually i might have to print some data also thats why i am asking, may be i will show my report how it looks

jsulm

@ManiRon The code you posted does not print anything (except HTML text to the console), so I'm not sure what your question currently is...
Just to be sure: by "printing" you mean print on a printer?

So, I guess by "displaying" you mean in a web browser?
Where exactly is the image file located? Is it in the same directory as the HTML file?

ManiRon

@jsulm yes

jsulm

@ManiRon I asked 3 questions. To which question does "yes" belong?

ManiRon

@jsulm

So, I guess by "displaying" you mean in a web browser? yes
Where exactly is the image file located? from where i am running my application
Is it in the same directory as the HTML file? No

@ManiRon said in how to insert an image in a QFile generated file using HTML:

Well, then I would say this is the problem (and I already said that before: "the picture must be in the same directory as the HTML document!").

@jsulm if i simply give this <img src="Logo1.png" alt="Test" > i have to place my image at place where i am saving my html file . But if i give the path its not accepting at all(means its not showing the image at all)

ManiRon

@jsulm
QString Header = "<img src="D:/APP/Image" alt="Test" >";

Like this if i mention its not displaying the image

jsulm

@ManiRon "i have to place my image at place where i am saving my html file" - yes!
How can web browser know where the picture is if the only information you give it is the file name without path:

<img src="Logo1.png" alt="Test" >

?! So, where should web browser look for this picture?
"But if i give the path its not accepting at all" - how do you give it the path? Please show...

@ManiRon Why don't you put the image into same directory as your HTML document or into a subdirectory there? I don't see the point to spread HTML and images over completely different locations as they belong together to build a HTML page.
See https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_filepaths.asp for possibilities HTML provides.
The syntax you're using is invalid.

@jsulm Thank you sir , I have been giving the path wrongly , It worked below is the code i used
