Design question.

Hello everyone.

I have a question on how you would go about designing a widget to perform the following function.

I have a Nokia N900 which I want to use for practicing Japanese Kanji with the Stylus. To do this I need a widget which will display the kanji and also let me draw on it. (Like tracing paper).

I originally thought That I could use a widget subclassed from QGraphicsView associated with a QGraphicsScene. A QGraphicsSimpleText holds the Kanji and I paint on the subclassed QGraphicsView widget.

I am having problems with this approach but before I start asking about my particular problem I was wondering if using QGraphicsView is the right way to go about this.

Obviously I am total beginner with Qt (And it has been a long time since I did c++) so any advice would be very useful (Using different widgets?).

Regards,

RJ

It's fine to use QGraphicsView but it might be an overkill if all you want to do is to display a glyph and paint over it. See the Scribble example that comes with Qt - you can do it like this too.

Thank you for that; I found the scribble program just before I came back and read your post and wondered if that was a better way.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
