How can I do pixel image drawing with Python and QML?

I wrote some applications which do pixel drawing with a QPainter.
I am now wondering how I could port this to QML.

I searched the web quite a while, but couldnt find any examples how to paint from Python on a QML page.

On PyQt I did it like this:

Qt Code:

Switch view

class MyCanvas(QtGui.QWidget):
  def __init__(self, parent=None):
    QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, xxx)
    self.setGeometry(10, 180, 781, 241)
 
 
  def paintEvent(self, event):
    paint = QtGui.QPainter()
    paint.begin(self)
    paint.setPen(QtGui.QColor("gray"))
    paint.setBrush(QtGui.QColor("black"))
    paint.drawRect(0,0,780,240) 
    paint.end()
 
canvas = MyCanvas()
canvas.show()

class MyCanvas(QtGui.QWidget):
  def __init__(self, parent=None):
    QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, xxx)
    self.setGeometry(10, 180, 781, 241)


  def paintEvent(self, event):
    paint = QtGui.QPainter()
    paint.begin(self)
    paint.setPen(QtGui.QColor("gray"))
    paint.setBrush(QtGui.QColor("black"))
    paint.drawRect(0,0,780,240) 
    paint.end()

canvas = MyCanvas()
canvas.show()

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

This then draw directly on my QWidget.

So my question is, how would I be able to do something like this with QML?
