Creating round QIcon from string

[the_]

Hi all,

just another question from me :)

I have a QListWidget that contains several items. Each item should get an icon that displays the a state (color code) and text (numbering). What i already have is the QIcon with text and color code.

 QString lfnr;
//<some more code here>
QPixmap *px = new QPixmap(40,40);
QPainter *painter(px);
px->fill(state);
painter->drawText(px->rect(),Qt::AlignCenter,lfnr);
QIcon *icon = new QIcon;
icon->setPixmap(px);

My question is now, what is the easiest way to create a round icon (which in my opinion looks much more fancy than a square :) )

Thanks for help

Hi Maybe If you make background transparent and draw a round icon.
painter.fill(Qt::Transparent);
painter.drawEllipse(10, 10, 50, 50);

Yes that draws a circle into the pixmap, but how to fill that circle with some color? painter as no fill method.

use QPainter::setBrush() before the drawEllipse() call
