How to return pixels from QPixmap to QML

[cmessineo]

Hello, How would one return Image bits to QML from C++?

I have this code in c++:
....

QImage image = m_pixmap.copy(sx, sy, sw, sh).toImage();
 
image = image.convertToFormat(QImage::Format_ARGB32);
QByteArray bytes((char *) image.bits(), image.byteCount());
 
return ?????

QImage image = m_pixmap.copy(sx, sy, sw, sh).toImage();
 
image = image.convertToFormat(QImage::Format_ARGB32);
QByteArray bytes((char *) image.bits(), image.byteCount());
 
return ?????

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

How would I package up the QByteArray properly and return the data to QML in rgba format, so it can be manipulated on the QML side?

Thanks
