    Default Converting to transparent Image

    hi,
    I am loading a QImage which has two colors(white and black). I want to convert this image in such a way that all the white becomes transparent. i.e. resultant image should be transparent image wherever white color appears in source image.
    Can anyone tell how can i accomplish this.

    Thank you in advance

    You have to use :
    Qt Code:
    1. QImage QImage::createAlphaMask ( Qt::ImageConversionFlags flags = Qt::AutoColor ) const
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    And

    Qt Code:
    1. QImage QImage::createMaskFromColor ( QRgb color, Qt::MaskMode mode = Qt::MaskInColor ) const
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    How about replacing each pixel with white color with a pixel with Qt::transparent.

    Qt Code:
    1. QImage img;
    2. img.load("test.jpg");
    3. for (int i = 0; i < img.height(); i++)
    4. {
    5. for (int j = 0; j < img.width(); j++)
    6. {
    7. if(img.pixel(j, i) == qRgba(255,255,255,255))
    8. img.setPixel(j, i, Qt::transparent);//Or you can use qRgba(0,0,0,0) instead for trans
    9. }
    10. }
    11. img.save("changed.png");//I dont remember that png can alpha channel or not.
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    If you use a 8-bit image, you can simply manipulate the color table (QImage::setColorTable()).
