painting on QGraphicsView

[chiaminhsu]

Hi,

I have to design a canvas where users can drag & drop images as background and paint by tablet.

I use view/scene to drag & drop the background images. After switching mode, user sketch can be captured in a pixmap after tablet events.

However, how can I blend the pixmap (user sketch) into the background images ?

class TabletCanvas : public QGraphicsView

class TabletCanvas : public QGraphicsView

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

void TabletCanvas::drawForeground(QPainter *painter, const QRectF& rect)
{
    QPixmap _m(pixmap); // the pixmap keeps user sketch
    //_m.setMask(pixmap.createMaskFromColor(Qt::white, Qt::MaskInColor)); 
    _m.setAlphaChannel(pixmap.createMaskFromColor(Qt::white, Qt::MaskOutColor)); 
 
    painter->drawPixmap(0, 0, _m);
}

void TabletCanvas::drawForeground(QPainter *painter, const QRectF& rect)
{
    QPixmap _m(pixmap); // the pixmap keeps user sketch
    //_m.setMask(pixmap.createMaskFromColor(Qt::white, Qt::MaskInColor)); 
    _m.setAlphaChannel(pixmap.createMaskFromColor(Qt::white, Qt::MaskOutColor)); 

    painter->drawPixmap(0, 0, _m);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The above code works like to "paste" sketch on the images.

I want to blend the sketch and 'background' image pieces.

How to do it ?
1. Can I get the scene-coordinate pixamap in QGraphicsView:aintEvnet() or drawForeground() ?
2. Or the user sketch pixmap should be another item in scene ?

Please give me some suggestions, thank you
