[Interest] Image on QLabel doesn't show at all

[Tamás Nagy]

Hi,

pixmap = new QPixmap(imageUrl.toString());
ui->imageLabel->setGeometry(QRect(QPoint(0,0), QPoint(pixmap->width(),
pixmap->height()) ));
ui->imageLabel->setPixmap(*pixmap);
ui->imageLabel->setStyleSheet("background-image: url(" +
imageUrl.toString() + ")");
ui->imageLabel->update();
ui->imageLabel->show();

My image is C:\untitled.bmp

I also have a second error: my signal is not found. It always tells me:

Hi,
pixmap = new QPixmap(imageUrl.toString());
ui->imageLabel->setGeometry(QRect(QPoint(0,0), QPoint(pixmap->width(),
pixmap->height()) ));
ui->imageLabel->setPixmap(*pixmap);
ui->imageLabel->setStyleSheet("background-image: url(" +
imageUrl.toString() + ")");
ui->imageLabel->update();
ui->imageLabel->show();
My image is C:\untitled.bmp

QPixmap can not load an image from an url - only from a local file or a
resource.

Hi, the 1st error is because you're doing a simple
imageUrl.toString() which returns % chars instead of backslashes, this
confuses QPixmap's constructor. To give QPixmap Windows-style filenames,
try:
pixmap = new QPixmap(imageUrl.toString(QUrl::PreferLocalFile));

And for making C:\untitled.bmp show up, try lose/commenting away that
->setStyleSheet() call, setPixmap(*pixmap); should suffice.


The 2nd error is actually a warning and then an error, the warning is
from setupUI() which sees your slot name on_graphics_changed(). Slot
names beginning with "on_" are kind of reserved, see more for example
here:
https://linux.m2osw.com/qtwarning-qmetaobjectconnectslotsbyname-no-matching-signal-onsomethingevent

And that 2nd error is most likely because on your line 11 in your
mainwindow.cpp (which I **cannot see** so I'm guessing :-) you wrote:
connect(this,SIGNAL(MainWindow::graphicsChanged()),this,SLOT(on_graphics_changed()));

Try change to
connect(this,SIGNAL(graphicsChanged()),this,SLOT(on_graphics_changed()));

pixmap = new QPixmap(imageUrl.toString());

This line is already wrong. QPixmap opens files paths, not URLs.

Post by Tamás Nagy
ui->imageLabel->setPixmap(*pixmap);

Why did you create QPixmap in the heap if you only used it here?

Post by Tamás Nagy
ui->imageLabel->setStyleSheet("background-image: url(" +
imageUrl.toString() + ")");

This is a conflicting instruction with the setPixmap above. One of the two
will not take effect. If the URL is correctly pointing to something that the
stylesheet could show, then QPixmap in the first line can't open it. If the
QUrl contains an invalid URL that happens to be turn to a valid file path that
QPixmap can open if you do url.toString(), then this stylesheet possibly
points to an invalid URL.
