Widget with fixed aspect ratio

[^NyAw^]

Hi,

I'm trying to get two QWidget derived classes that need to mantain a "forced" aspect ratio.

The first widget class must be "square" as I need to display a circle inside it.

The second widget will contain a set of this first widget class with some rows and some columns.

On the attached image you can see what I want to achieve.11455

The first widget class is the widget that displays a green circle with a text inside. The second widget is the "container" widget that includes the set of this first class widget into rows and columns. There is also a widget that the only thing that it do is to get space and so I can get "displacement" as I need the fist class widgets to be disposed in the way that you can see on the attached image.

Can someone point me on how to achieve this?

What I have tryied is to create a QGridLayout derived class that reimplements "hasHeightForWidth" and "heightForWidth" with no luck.


Thanks,

You need to post your code, just to eliminate the chance that it's something obvious that you're missing.

Note that QWidget also has these functions. Can you give them a try?
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#hasHeightForWidth

EDIT: actually, I think the layout of the container will be querying this from the layout items. So you should subclass QLayoutItem and use QLayout::addItem or QBoxLayout::insertItem etc. to add your QLayoutItem derived objects that return 'true' for that ratio function, and the height etc.
The default implementation of the layout items ignores the setting:
http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/src/widgets/kernel/qlayoutitem.cpp#n368

You would use this just for the circle widgets. The container widget will be sized according to its contents.
For the empty spaces, the layouts let you add spacers:
