I see Qwt comes with examples on QwtDial and QwtDialNeedle.
I wonder if it's possible to use a custom image as QwtDialNeedle.
I think it should be necessary to re-implement the virtual functions of QwtDialNeedle (draw, setPalette, drawNeedle, ...) and then it should work.
Can someone confirm this, please?
Is there a working example somewhere?
Thanks
Overloading the QwtDialNeedle::setPalette doesn't make much sense - you can't do much with it.
QwtDialNeedle::draw sets up a transformation matrix, according to the direction and then calls drawNeedle, what should be o.k for your situation.
So you only need to overload drawNeedle and maybe drawKnob - if you have such a thing.
Of course you only will have results without aliasing effects, when using a vector graphics format like SVG - in case your type of dial rotates the needle.

Following your suggestion I've been able to get what I need (i.e. a dial with an image as a needle; the needle rotates; the image is a png).
Everything works fine when I build my application for Windows 7 x86 (Qt 4.8.4).
When I cross-compile to CE 6 (Qt 4.8.4) the needle is not drawn properly when the direction is 180° (i.e. 9 o'clock).
Sometimes it's not drawn at all, sometimes is partially drawn, ...
Could this be a matter of aliasing effect?
Don't think so,Quote:

The little displacement is not an issue for my application and so in this way everything is ok both on Win 7 and in CE 6.
Do you have any idea on what could be the reason for this behavior?
Maybe a division by zero - but without knowing your code this is pure speculation.
