Draw a rectangle alternating two colors with qPainter

Hi all, I want to draw a rectangle with qPainter alternating the colors black & white: The rectangle has to looks like if it was made with dashed lines. I think that the solution could be setting the correct brush for the pen used to draw the rectangle, but I have tried different combinations with no success. Anybody knows how to do it?. Thanks.

I think you could use gradients for that, but the result won't be perfect (it'll be a gradient and not striped box). Or you could draw many rectangles with different colours.

Thanks, it's a solution but it's not what I'm looking for. Any other suggestion?

Did you try this?

Code:

---

_painter.setPen( Qt::DashLine );

I don't think that you'll find a better solution ;) You know you only have to create once, one black and one white rectangle and then just draw them one after the other repeatidly.

It will only change the outline, and he wants the filling striped. At least that's what I understand...

Then we must have misunderstood what you are looking for :confused:

Could you provide a picture of what you want to achieve?

Very easy, what I want is simply a rubber band. The problem drawing it with setPen( Qt::DashLine ) is that you can only choose one colour, I want to choose the two colors: black & white.

You can draw white rectangle with a solid line and then a black one using dashed line.

Have you seen QRubberBand?
