setting an image on the form

In the constructor of my project's class say myclass.cpp

i wrote the following code:

#include "myclass.h"
#include "ui_myclass.h"

MyClass::MyClass(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
ui(new Ui::MyClass)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

QString imagePath="xyz1.jpeg";
QImage logo(imagePath);
}

The image doesn't get loade on the form as specified by QImage class documentation of QT SDK 4.6.2....
Whats wrong??? Can anyone please guide???

I even tried this.....

#include "myclass.h"
#include "ui_myclass.h"

MyClass::MyClass(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
ui(new Ui::MyClass)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

QString imagePath="xyz1.jpeg";
QImage logo;
logo.load(imagePath);
}

Do i have to add anything else to set the image on the form???

Yes.
Read about the difference between QImage and QPixmap.

The simplest way to display an image is to use a QLabel and a QPixmap:
According to Qt doc:

Quote:

---

QImage is designed and optimized for I/O, and for direct pixel access and manipulation, while QPixmap is designed and optimized for showing images on screen

---

Code:

---

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QPixmap image("image.jpg");
  QLabel imageLabel();
  imageLabel.setPixmap(image);
  label.show();
  return app.exec();
}

thanks guys, but this isn't working too...According to toutarrive, i made the following changes..

I drew a Label on the UI form and wrote as following....


#include "myclass.h"
#include "ui_myclass.h"

MyClass::MyClass(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
ui(new Ui::MyClass)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

QPixmap logo("xyz1.jpg");
ui->Label->setPixmap(logo);
}

Where is the image located?
Try using the absolute path.
Also, you can test QPixmap::isNull() to know if the loading of the image was successful.

Hi, high_flyer, the image is located in the same folder where the project files are stored.

My imageExample folder consists of following files:
1)imageExample.pro
2)imageExample.cpp
3)imageExample.h
4)imageExample.ui
5)main.cpp
6)Logo.jpg
7)ui_imageExample.h
8)Makefile
9)Makefile.debug
10)Makefile.release
11)imageExample.pro.user

and two folders debug and release...

debug contains 5 files and release is empty

put the image file where the exe is.
