Strange error while using Q3Canvas

[Kapil]

Hi...

I have written a small application using Q3Canvas... i have got a Big List of errors.. i culdnt understand why it was as i have all the header files included and present.
i am pasting the code of the three files... i culdnt understand the error....

CanvasView.cpp


#include "canvassample.h"
#include <QtGui/QPixmap>

CanvasSample::CanvasSample(Q3Canvas *canvas) : Q3CanvasView(canvas)
{
canvas = new Q3Canvas(100,100);
canvas->setBackgroundColor( Qt::black );
canvas->setBackgroundPixmap( QPixmap( "stars.png" ) );
}
CanvasSample::~CanvasSample()
{
}


CanvasSample.h


#ifndef CANVASSAMPLE_H
#define CANVASSAMPLE_H

#include <qt/q3canvas.h>

class CanvasSample : public Q3CanvasView
{
public:
CanvasSample(Q3Canvas *canvas);
~CanvasSample();
private:
Q3Canvas *canvas;
};


#endif



Main.cpp


#include <qapplication.h>
#include <canvassample.h>

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
QApplication app(argc,argv);

Q3Canvas *canvas;
CanvasSample *samp = new CanvasSample(canvas);
samp->show();
return app.exec();
}

Fist off all show us your strange errors :)
Second just remark : why are you decalre Q3Canvas pointer in main and then put it in your class if you doesnt use it in main later ?

[Kapil]

Hi,

i created the Q3Canvas in the main to intiate the canvas. I passed the same to the CanvasSample.cpp... Ya it can be said that the canvas variable that i have created in the CanvasSample.h is of no use. That i can remove....

The canvas object which i have created in main, is sent to the CanvasSample.cpp and using that object the Canvas is created..

The errors are:

Do you have "QT += qt3support" in your .pro-file?

[Kapil]

Hi,

Thanks.. yaa after including it, the errors got removed but then there is i suppose a runtime memory error in the code.. 'coz the .exe created is not running and is giving the reference error...

what error can be there in the code posted above????

Kapil

[jpn]

You pass an uninitialized pointer for the Q3CanvasView() constructor.

main.cpp


#include <QApplication>
#include "canvassample.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
CanvasSample s;
s.show();
a.connect(&a, SIGNAL(lastWindowClosed()), &a, SLOT(quit()));
return a.exec();
}


canvassample.h


#ifndef CANVASSAMPLE_H
#define CANVASSAMPLE_H

#include <Q3CanvasView>

class CanvasSample : public Q3CanvasView
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
CanvasSample();
~CanvasSample();
};

#endif // CANVASSAMPLE_H


canvassample.cpp


#include <QPixmap>
#include <Q3Canvas>
#include "canvassample.h"

CanvasSample::CanvasSample() : Q3CanvasView()
{
QPixmap pixmap("stars.png");
setCanvas(new Q3Canvas(pixmap.width(),pixmap.height()));
canvas()->setBackgroundColor(Qt::black);
canvas()->setBackgroundPixmap(pixmap);
}

CanvasSample::~CanvasSample()
{
}

[Kapil]

Hi,

Thanks,
That worked but its unable to show the pixmap....

also i wanted to know that as the canvas does not have the Toolbar and MenuBar options like MainWindow or a Wdiget, so can i have a canvas over a MainWindow or a Widget..

Kapil

[jpn]

That worked but its unable to show the pixmap....
Do you have the png file in the running directory?
Note that the running directory is not necessarily always the same than where the .exe is located. If you launch the .exe from command line, then the running directory is the same than where the exe is located.
A reliable solution is to compile your pixmap into resources ;)


also i wanted to know that as the canvas does not have the Toolbar and MenuBar options like MainWindow or a Wdiget, so can i have a canvas over a MainWindow or a Widget..

Yes, Q3CanvasView inherits QWidget so it can be set as a central widget into a QMainWindow. If that's what you were asking.. :)

[Kapil]

Hi,

I have made a QMainWindow Form... Now it has few panels and Tollbar+MenuBar options declared on it.. There is a central vacant area where the QCanvas has to display the results. So can QCanvas be called on that central region of the QMainWindow form and not as an independent window..

Kapil

[zlatko]

Emm I dont think so ..you must create independent QCanvas widget(parent - your QMainWindow) and put it in your QMainWindow vacant area

[Kapil]

Hi,

This means that i will have to redirect the output to a canvas window and then display the result. Is it so?

Then how do i place that QCanvas window on my QMainWindow at the exact location?

Kapil

Q3CanvasView is inherited from QWidget, so you can put it in layouts and so on, like any other type of widgets.

[jimadamthwaite]

Q3CanvasView is inherited from QWidget, so you can put it in layouts and so on, like any other type of widgets.

Could you please point to an example of this? I have exactly the same problem - that of placing a canvas view in a controlled position on MY window, rather than in a second unplanned window. I do not seem to have a Q3CanvasView available in the widget box. Should it be?

[wysota]

No. You should place it manually in code:


QCanvasView *cv = new QCanvasView(canvas, this);
// depending on the type of "this", you might also need:
layout()->add(cv);
