Freeze_drawing

[prashantbasvat]

in my application i am drawing sine-wave using qpainter widget.now i have to implement such functionality that on button pressed wave drawing should be stopped at that instant. and when i pressed same button again it should resume wave drawing from last instant.how to implement freeze functionalit

Not sure what you are asking for.

How to temporarily make a thread wait for something?
QWaitCondition could be your friend for that.
