QPixmap and SVG

Question

How do you suggest handling svg with QPixmap?

QPixmap(":/myfile.svg"); construct QPixmap(":/myfile.svg"); , then the call to scaled() does not work. QPixmap gets pixels.

thank.

Answer 1

You must use SVGRenderer to display it on a QImage . From there you can convert to QPixmap using QPixmap::convertFromImage .

Answer 2

Now there is a much simpler way without using the SVG module

 QIcon("filepath.svg").pixmap(QSize()) 

It just works so well. At least in my case it worked.

Answer 3

Something like that:

 QSvgRenderer renderer(svg_file_name); QPixmap pm(width, height); pm.fill(fill_color); QPainter painter(&pm); renderer.render(&painter, pm.rect());
