How do I join two QImages to form one Image

[ayanda83]

Small issue, I have an image which I split into two images using the QImage::copy() function. I then did some custom painting on each piece of the image and now I want to join the two pieces back into the original image and render the image into a pdf using the QPdfWriter. My problem is that I am struggling figuring out how to join the image pieces together.

thanking you in advance.

1) Create an image that is large enough to contain both parts
2) Create a QPainter on that image
3) Paint the two smaller images into the larger image.

Cheers,

Hello,
below is an untested code snippet. I did something like this with QPixmap. As both QImage and QPixmap are paint devices, it should work with QImage too. Idea:
Create an image of the desired result size and draw your two images using a painter into the result image. See the documentation of QPainter::drawImage() to find the method that best fits your needs.

QImage image1 = ...; // your images
QImage image2 = ...; 
QImage result(resultWidth, resultHeight, resultFormat); // image to hold the join of image 1 & 2
QPainter painter(&result);
painter.drawImage(x1, y1, image1); // xi, yi is the position for imagei
painter.drawImage(x2, y2, image2);

QImage image1 = ...; // your images
QImage image2 = ...; 
QImage result(resultWidth, resultHeight, resultFormat); // image to hold the join of image 1 & 2
QPainter painter(&result);
painter.drawImage(x1, y1, image1); // xi, yi is the position for imagei
painter.drawImage(x2, y2, image2);

You can also not split the image in the first place. What is the point of splitting the images if you are going to be joining them again?
