rotate an image

I have two images, one inside another. first I used two QFrame s and set background image via stylesheets.
but this was not a good idea as QFrame has no pixmap() member.
I changed QFrame to QLabel n set the background image of the inner image via stylesheets. (only the inner image shall rotate).

Now, I used the following code to try rotating QLabel background image, though I get segmentation fault, when assignig QLabel pixmap to the Qpixmap variable.

Code:

---

QPixmap pixmap(*ui->label_11->pixmap());
        QMatrix rm;
        rm.rotate(90);
        pixmap = pixmap.transformed(rm);
        ui->label_11->setPixmap(pixmap);

• QWidget::paintEvent()
• QPainter::rotate()
• QPainter::drawPixmap()
• QPropertyAnimation

Im not a professional programmer, but there is something wrong with your code, check this image ratating sample code and have a comparison to check,hope this can help you.

as I said I have one QLabel inside a QFrame. the label background image is a small movable part of the general frame background image. what I want is to rotate the smaller image according to a particular angle.

Code:

---

void MainWindow::rotate()
{
    QRectF target(0.0, 0.0, ui->label->width(), ui->label->height());
    QRectF source(0.0, 0.0, ui->label->width(), ui->label->height());
    QPixmap pixmap("path-to-image");
 
    QPainter painter(this);
    painter.rotate(90.0);
 
    painter.drawPixmap(target, pixmap, source);
 
}

I do not know how to link the pixmap to the label background after rotation!

What's wrong with QLabel::setPixmap()? Seems like the obvious thing to use after reading the QLabel documentation.

Although I could rotate the inner image with the code below, the sad point is that, the background image always fit inside the inner QLabel. But, what I need is to rotate both the QLabel and the image simultaneously. or it will be better not to use QLabel at all this way. can I only load an extra image inside the outer frame background image and try to rotate it? I need help please.

Code:

---

QPixmap *orig_pixmap = new QPixmap();
    orig_pixmap->load("path-to-png");
    degrees++;
    if(degrees == 90) degrees = 0;
    QTransform rotate_disc;
    rotate_disc.translate((orig_pixmap->width()-ui->label->width())/2 , (orig_pixmap->width()-ui->label->height())/2);
    rotate_disc.rotate(degrees,Qt::ZAxis);
    QPixmap pixmap;
    //pixmap = orig_disc->scaled(89,89,Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio,Qt::SmoothTransformation);
    pixmap = orig_pixmap->transformed(rotate_disc,Qt::SmoothTransformation);
    ui->label->setPixmap(pixmap);

There is something I need to know. As in my case I have a MainWindow of so many tools n widgets. would it be all right if I inherit from QWidget publicly in MainWindow class?
that way I can load as much anim n pixmaps as I need in the project main window. The main window paintEvent would be customized then. is that ok?

The the rotation axis of the second image is its center. However, I may want to set one side of the rectangle fixed and or even rotate it from a certain point. Is that possible?

Yes, of course. You can manipulate the painter in any way you want using rotate(), scale() and translate().
