join images together without merging

hi friends,
I want to know how to join 4 images together without overlapping one above the other in Qt 4.7. Consider i have image1.png(200x200), image2.png(200x200), image3.png(200x200),image4.png(200x200) where 200x200 is the dimension of the image.now these 4 images should be join in such a manner they look distinct and there should not be overlapping,overlayering or no stacking of images.so that 4 images should behaves as single image,and later if i add any zoom effect it should scaled accordingly.
Thanks

For four images source1, ... source4 of size WxH create an image target of size 2*W x 2*H, setup QPainter on the target and paint the source images to four corners of target using one of the QPainter::drawImage method.

If you want the merged image later to be passed to other methods that accepts a QImage, it must be one QImage. I don't think I understand what you mean in this sentence.

Currently i have used QFrame which is inside MainWindow.i have to use 4 images of equal size within this frame.lets consider my frame size is 500x500,these 4 images should be joined or stitched in such a manner,so that they should not overlap one above the other.Moreover,they should behave as one single image.so if in later stage i want to add zoom effect those 4 images also get zoomed like a normal image.But can u suggest me suppose we create
QPainter painter;
QPixmap pixmap;
now how we can pass the pixmap to a label that we have created through QPainter. bcoz we cant pass painter object to QLabel,if u have any idea please let me know

Don't worry about the frame size, first join the images and then you can resize the merged image to whatever size you need.

Read the QPainter docs, there is an example how to use it:

Code:

---

QPixmap mergedImg( width, height );
QPainter painter(&mergedImg);
//... do the painting
painter.end();
// and then assign mergedImg for label
