Qt Graphics

[soumya]

Hi all,

I am working on qt form past 6 months but i am new to qt graphics.

I need to draw the circle,line in 2D cartesian coordinate system.

Whether to use Qpainter or Qcanvas or opengl?

which one will be the better to getting started with qt graphics?

Anyone can help me out asap.

Thanks & Regards,
soumya

1. The canvas is obsolete.
2. OpenGL is huge thing for such a small graphics operation.
3. The Graphics View Framework is based on the Cartesian coordinate system. So this is best suitable.

If your work involves only painting,, and not moving objects,,,you can consider using QWidget also. You have QPainter in paintEvent and rest you code :)

Yes !!
Coz QFrame is derived from QWidget.
