Qt QGraphicsView or QLabel

Question

For a school project we need to make the game Puerto Rico in Qt. I was looking at QGraphicsView to display the gameboard, but it seems that this was a lot harder than i tought and had a lot of functions i don't need. So now my question is it also possible to achieve something like a gameboard using only label and display pictures in them?

Answer 1

You can display a picture using a QLabel widget using the pixmap property . You can check the detailed information about QPixmap class and use links from it to learn which image class (QPixmap, QImage, QBitmap or QPicture) best fits your needs

Answer 2

You can always just subclass QWidget and override the paintEvent(QPaintEvent *) method to draw the board using a QPainter. (You'd probably also want to override the mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *) and mouseReleaseEvent(QMouseEvent *) methods to react to the player's mouse inputs as well; and be sure to call update() whenever you want to schedule another call to paintEvent(QPaintEvent *) to redraw the game board)
