    That is very complicated.

    QMap is a kind of database, a dictionary that is right ?

    I will try with you'r first code :

    I don't understand the function void Test.

    I got a function who return me a color in QRGB, it named "color" can i say just :

    If (color == (the color in the Qmap (i dont know how to call it))){
    cost = 50;
    image = (red image)
    }
    ?

    The problem is that i understand QMap, but i don't know how to use it and i'm new to programmation

      Ok, its plain c++ and maps are often used. I didnt mean to make it
      complicated. Using say a DataBase would be 10 times the code.

    QMap is a kind of database, a dictionary that is right ?
    Yes. You tell it ( whatkey, whatvalue)
    and then u can ask for it to return the value for a key.
    In this sample we used a color as key.

    I don't understand the function void Test.

    void Test() {
      // this is the color to look for
      QColor col = QColor(100, 100, 100); // getColor()..
     // check the map if it has the color ( suing contains)
      if (Costs.contains( col.rgb() )) {
        CostInfo& ci = Costs[col.rgb()]; // take the struct from list
        qDebug() << "found:" << "cost:" << ci.Cost << "img:" << ci.ImageName;
      }
    }

    You cannot use == you must use Contains function.
    if (Costs.contains( color.rgb() )   ) {
        CostInfo& ci = Costs[color.rgb()]; // take the struct from list
       QColor TheColor(i.key()); // this is the base color
       int Cost=ci.Cost; // use the values.
      }

        }
      }
      

      So the QColor col is my returned color that is right ?

      i don't understand the "CostInfo& ci"

      And do the size of the picture in the Qmap have to be resized?

      PS :
      my function is :

      for(int x = topLeft.x(); x < maxX; ++x) {
      		for(int y = topLeft.y(); y < maxY; ++y) {
      			image.setPixelColor(x, y, colour);
                                                    if (Costs.contains( colour.rgb() )) {          // it will be that ?
                                                         CostInfo& ci = Costs[colour.rgb()];
      		}
      	}
      }
      

      to have all RGB in my struct can i use a "for" (sorry to always say "can i use a for") but the problem is that i want all RGB value with my 15 - 20 pictures

        • So the QColor col is my returned color that is right ?
          Yes, the Color to look for.

        • i don't understand the "CostInfo& ci"

        It means a reference to a CostInfo.
        We ask the map to return the CostInfo for the key and instead of
        having it as a copy we actually point to the one in the list.
        so if you do

        ci.Cost = 100; you would update the one in the list.

        if we did
        CostInfo ci = Costs[col.rgb()];
        It would make a copy and ci would be a copy and not point to one in the list.

        So if it was integers and a normal list.
        int a= List[1]; // copy
        int &a = List[1]; // a points to the int in index [1]

        • And do the size of the picture in the Qmap have to be resized?

        The qmap only store the file names of the images
        I assume you are adding the images to a QRes file
        http://www.bogotobogo.com/Qt/Qt5_Resource_Files.php
        So all images are build into the program
        and then load them with ":/" syntax.
        That would be easy and fast.
        http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/resources.html

        
        for(int x = topLeft.x(); x < maxX; ++x) {
        		for(int y = topLeft.y(); y < maxY; ++y) {
        			image.setPixelColor(x, y, colour);
                                                      if (Costs.contains( colour.rgb() )) {          // it will be that ?  YES
                                                           CostInfo& ci = Costs[colour.rgb()];
                                                             int Cost = ci.Cost;
                                                              Pixmap pix( ci.ImageName ); 
        		}  
        	}
        }

        Not sure what you are asking here :)
        Are you asking how to use a FOR with the QMAP `?
        u can do

        
        QMapIterator<QRgb, CostInfo >i(Costs);
        while (i.hasNext()) {
            i.next();
            cout << i.key() << ": " << i.value().Cost << endl;
        }
        

        Pleases read

          thanks,

          i already read the doc for Qmap,

          my question was the same as before (sorry) i asked that if i got a square who have a color like ( 255 , 2 , 2 - It's near red ) how can i display a red file because on my Qmap i have only

          QColor(250,0,0).rgb(), { "C:\Users\David\Desktop\Red\strawberry", 10) (i will use :/ after created my QRes file)

          the i.hasNext is the answer to my question right ? he will found a value next to his value ?

          My other question was that i have to browse all my picture with a double for (because i got 50 square in my picture)

          so i have to put the

          if (Costs.contains( colour.rgb() )) {          
                                                            CostInfo& ci = Costs[colour.rgb()];
                                                              int Cost = ci.Cost;
                                                               Pixmap pix( ci.ImageName );
          

          and then the while (i.hasNext()) ?

            For that you need to a function that can compare the RGB values.
            And if Base Color and the color you come with ( from image) is
            within some threshold you also accept it.
            http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9018016/how-to-compare-two-colors
            like
            bool IsCloseColor( QColor c1, QColor c2 ) {
            // this you must fill in . read link.
            }
            If you want a clever mathcing , this is also interresting
            http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2103368/color-logic-algorithm

            • the i.hasNext is the answer to my question right ? he will found a value next to his value ?
              Yes the code shown will go over map. Just like a "For"
              Something like:
              QMapIterator<QRgb, CostInfo >i(Costs);
              while (i.hasNext()) {
                i.next();
                QColor BaseColor( i.key() );
                if (Costs.contains( colour.rgb() ) || IsCloseColor(BaseColor, colour)   )  {
                  CostInfo& ci = Costs[colour.rgb()];
                  int Cost = ci.Cost;
                  QPixmap pix( ci.ImageName );
                }
              }// while

                z you must decide for.
                Best is to test with different colors and see how close its still ok.

                With the exact code and the exact line it's impossible to say what error comes from.

                You can try my test project. It compiles and you can test the color matching.

                    Hi

                    int diffBlue = Math.abs(c1.blue() - c2.blue());

                    if (diffBlue+diffRed+diffGreen< 100){	/
                    	return c1; <<<<<< you should return true
                        else //////////////////you need this part also
                           return false;  /////////

                      Thank you i corrected.

                      And for my other error ?

                      in : if (Costs.contains( colour.rgb() ) || IsCloseColor(BaseColor, colour) )

                      for the function IsCloseColor, its not better to return a color ? like QColor IsCloseColor();, i don't understand what we can do if we return "false" or "true"

                            @Payx

                            It just checks if the color is "close " to base color
                            No reason to return color ?
                            we say
                            if (Costs.contains( colour.rgb() ) || IsCloseColor(BaseColor, colour) )

                            So if we have direct match OR
                            the colour is close to BaseColor then we think its ok.

                              Okay thank you,

                              i have

                              diffBlue+diffRed+diffGreen< 100
                              

                              but if many colors correspond ?
                              it can return many colors no ?

                                No it cant..
                                IsCloseColor tells if 2 colors are close. It return true/false.
                                it dont return any color. it tells you if they color u have "in the hand" matches the
                                base color given.
                                You already have the color (colour var) so no reason to return it.

                                    ofc, just compare 2 times or more times. Once pr color.
                                    IsCloseColor(BaseColor, col1)
                                    IsCloseColor(BaseColor, col2)
                                    IsCloseColor(BaseColor, col3)
                                    ....

                                        No. use a list (of colors) and loop over it, checking each.

                                          Okay, so it's useless to write :

                                          bool IsCloseColor( QColor c1, QColor c2 ) {
                                          	int diffRed   = Math.abs(c1.red() - c2.red());
                                          	int diffGreen = Math.abs(c1.green() - c2.green());
                                          	int diffBlue  = Math.abs(c1.blue()  - c2.blue());
                                          
                                          	if (diffBlue+diffRed+diffGreen< 100){	/
                                          		return true;.
                                          		else
                                          				return false;
                                          
                                          
                                          	}
                                          }
                                          
                                          

                                          So if i understood well the "<100" is now useless. Can't we just return the color who have the minimum diffBlue+diffRed+diffGreen ?
