QGLWidget with frame around it

[winder]

I think the title says it all! I 've done some experiments by myself, but i always get weird results. So whats the best approach in drawing a widget (and a qglwidget in particular, but it shouldn't make a difference) with a frame (with the color and a width of your choice).

Thanks in advance

Just draw four lines in the extreme coordinates sides of the qlwidget

You'll have to use width() and height() to get the qglwidget client area coordinates. than just draw 4 lines, like a frame in the client area perimeter.
Note that qglwidgt requires you to define a viewport, so you'll have to do proper math conversion's between opengl and widget
coordinates. Any doubt let me know.

Or you could insert your widget into a QSplitter and use one of its setFrame... member functions.

You're right, that sound's much more simple
