    Default Diff between QBrush and QPen

    hi friends,
    i try to send the QPen value as argument like
    in lineitem.h
    Qt Code:
    1. class LineItem : public QObject, public QGraphicsLineItem
    2. {
    3. Q_OBJECT
    4. public:
    5. LineItem(const QLineF &rect, const QPen &pen);
    6. private:
    7. int xvalue, yvalue;
    8. QPen pen;
    9. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    in lineitem.cpp
    Qt Code:
    1. LineItem::LineItem(const QLineF &line, const QPen &pen)
    2. pen(pen)
    3. {
    4. void LineItem ::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem *option, QWidget *)
    5. {
    6. painter->setPen(pen);
    7. painter->drawLine(line());
    8.  
    9. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    in graphicsview
    Qt Code:
    1. line1 = new LineItem(QLineF(2,4, 2 ,30), Qt::green);
    2. line1->setPos(100,550);
    3. scene->addItem(line1);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    its giving error as
    dualmon.cpp:93: error: no matching function for call to ‘LineItem::LineItem(QLineF, Qt::GlobalColor)’
    lineitem.h:13: note: candidates are: LineItem::LineItem(const QLineF&, const QPen&)
    lineitem.h:8: note: LineItem::LineItem(const LineItem&)
    or as


    but if the same QPen i replace with QBrush its running perfectly ...
    i can send color as argument for QBrush but not for QPen why?

    please help




    }

    the color u gave is a Qt::GlobalColor , when u use QBrush instead of QPen, the following constructor is used(since the second argument is default and first is already given)

    QBrush ( Qt::GlobalColor color, Qt::BrushStyle style = Qt::SolidPattern )

    for QPen, there is no such constructor

  3. The following user says thank you to talk2amulya for this useful post:

    If you want to sent a QColor why you define a constructor expecting a QPen? What's about defining:

    Qt Code:
    1. ...
    2. LineItem(const QLineF &rect, const QPen &pen);
    3. LineItem(const QLineF &rect, const QColor &color);
    4. LineItem(const QLineF &rect, const Qt::GlobalColor color);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    with for example:

    Qt Code:
    1. LineItem(const QLineF &rect, const Qt::GlobalColor color)
    2. {
    3. pen = QPen(QColor(color));
    4. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    then you will be save.

    Well, you can set up a QPen from a GlobalColor. The only thing is that Qt does this not for you. So just do it by yourself by transforming the GlobalColor to a QColor and set this to the QPen.
