QPainterPath outlining

[viridis]

Hi,

I've a little problem with painterpath outlines.
What I want to do is creating a paiterpath with several lines and render it with a large width.
The problem is that I want to use a color to fill the painterpath, and use an other color for the outline.
Painterpath seems to do that but the outline is not really the "global" outline of the whole path, but rather the union of the outline of each subpaths.

For example :

(1) is the painterpath
(2) is what I have when using a pathstroker to get the painterpath with the desired width (rendered using a QPen for the outline and a QBrush for the plain part)
(3) is what I want

#              ___           ___
# |            | |           | |
# |            |_|____       | |____
# |______      |_|____|      |______|
 
   (1)          (2)           (3)

#              ___           ___
# |            | |           | |
# |            |_|____       | |____
# |______      |_|____|      |______|

   (1)          (2)           (3)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Any idea how to correct that ?

Qt 4.4 has a QPainterPath::simplified() method that probably does what you want.
