    Default How do I get a Qpixmap or QImage from a QGraphicsView without show()+grabWidget()

    I have tried following


    Qt Code:
    1.  
    2. QImager img;
    3. QPainter painter(&img);
    4. view.render(&painter);
    5. painter,end();
    6.  
    7. img.save("./image.png");
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Problem with this approach is that view does not update before rendering onto painter. Calling view.update() did not help either.
    Any help is appreciated.

    thanks

    Since you don't seem to need the view, have you tried rendering the scene itself instead?

    Cheers,
