    Default QByteArray into QPixmap

    Hello friends,

    I am getting an image into a databuffer and after I want to display it on screen. I did something like that:

    Here I put the image into databuffer...
    code:

    Qt Code:
    1. for(i=1; i<=packNum ;i++) {
    2. Get_Image_Data(dataBuffer,512,&rec);//I read 512 bytes size per package from the port..
    3. arr.append(dataBuffer);
    4. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 



    Here I display the image on screen...
    code:

    Qt Code:
    1. QPixmap image = new QPixmap();
    2. image->loadFromData(arr.data());
    3. label->setPixmap(*image);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 


    I see in the log that as data comes continuously(like video ), size of the "arr" changes. I mean , something really fills "arr"... But nothing is displayed on the screen... Any idea ..? Thanks....

    What image format?

    PS. It's unnecessary to allocate QPixmap on the heap, it's an implicitly shared class.

    If it is in an unusual format then you could create a QImage and set its pixels with QImage::setPixel. Note that you should set the image's size before ever calling setPixel.

    Except don't use setpixel, as it is very slow. Use bits() directly. More information here: http://www.qtcentre.org/forum/f-qt-p...mpeg-9935.html

    The format of the image is jpeg, I also tried to set image size before; but this time a white screen is displayed instead....

    Sorry, what's "allocating on the heap" ?

    And actually i made it work by using a QDatastream and a QImage(i put the jpeg stream in a temp file then displayed )... But it was slow...

    By the way, thanks for your replies...i ask for more...

    Not what format is the original file, but the decoded data. Is it RGB, ARGB, YUV, etc? Knowing this, you will know how to set the pixel data in the image/pixmap.

    I am getting the images from a camera. In the datasheet it says that:

    " The OV528 takes 8-bit YCbCr 422 progressive video data from an OV7640/8 CameraChip. The camera interface synchronizes with input video data and performs down sampling, clamping and windowing functions with desired resolution, as well as color conversion that is requested by the user through serial bus host commands."

    Is that the answer: YCbCr ?

    Then you need to convert the data that comes from the camera from YCbCr to RGB. You have to do this before or while constructing the QImage.
    Here's something to get you started: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YCbCr.
    This article shows you how to convert the data to RGB.

    Something sticked in my mind..
    Isnt that YCbCr or RGB , a matter of color. If that was the problem, shouldn't i see something on the screen ( perhaps with distorted colors). But i see nothing...

    Yes, because you're not constructing the image correctly yet. You can do it as pherthyl suggested in his post.

    Don't think, just do it!
