Hello, any Qt gurus out there who can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here? I've been reading the documentation and searching online but have been banging my head against the wall with this for a few hours...

I'm working on a little poker app, and I made a window (my class name "test" derived from QWidget) using QT Designer that has a QGraphicsView embedded in it, along with my control buttons underneath. The graphics area and control/chat area are laid out together in a Vertical Layout.

I've added a background image (1920x1080p) and a few playing cards to the scene, but when I try and display it on my widget while calling fitInView(), the whole scene appears very tiny and centered (see attached photos).

As a test, in my widget constructor I made a totally unrelated QGraphicsView set to the exact same scene, and this one works as expected (see photos) while using fitInView().

I'm hoping there is something simple that I'm misunderstanding and would really appreciate some help/advice!

Below is my widget constructor code and the accompanying .ui file, along with some photos:

test.cpp

  1. #include "test.h"
  2. #include "ui_test.h"
  3. #include "PlayerWidget.h"

  11.     m_deck{ new Deck() }, //TODO: memory leak???
  12.     m_pot{ 0 },
  13.     m_deckPos{ QPointF(690, 150) },
  14.     m_flopCard1Pos{ QPointF(430, 350) },

  64. //    ui->tableArea->fitInView( QRectF(0, 0, 1, 51), Qt::KeepAspectRatio );
  65.
