Seeking suggestions for a grid-based ASCII character layout

Use QGraphicsView or QtQuick.

Use QGraphicsView or QtQuick.

Maybe the method of using the QGraphicsView to accomplish this just isn't apparent to me, but I don't see how that would produce the desired result. What I basically want is a grid of labels, the contents of which would each expand and shrink as the form is resized, maintaining the aspect ratio of the label contents. I think I've decided to go with a pixmap approach, rather than ASCII characters, but I still need to determine how to a) make the pics automatically resize to fit within the grid cells, and b) make them automatically resize to maintain their aspect ratio as the form is resized.

Thanks.
