QSplashScreen and QPainter

Gavin Harper · 04-07-2011, 10:52 AM

Following on from my issues with QSplashScreen, I am wanting to investigate the QPainter class(es) some more.

Code:

How would I best achieve this:

- Draw some shapes and gradients with QPainter/QPen etc
- Create a splash screen out of it
- Display SplashScreen.

I cannot find anything that doesn't involve

Code:

QPixMap("arbitrary.jpg");

I am comfortable making splash screens out of images, but now I want to try drawing one myself.

What would be the best practise?

http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpixmap.html

states a constructor with (int width, int height) as parameters; so something along the lines of:

QPixMap *image = new QPixMap(200,200);

without looking deeper into this, this makes me believe that this'd give you a canvas to work your magic on.

Also: http://www.digitalfanatics.org/proje...chapter12.html

which might be for Qt3, but overall should give an idea.

Hint: both links were found within a minute using the amazing new technology called "google": just searched for "qt qpixmap" and "qt qcanvas"; they're both either 1st or 3rd link provided.
