          well do you have that version of paint ?

          
          void MatrixWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event)
          {
          
              QPainter p(this);
              // draw frame.
              p.drawRect(0, 0, width() - 1, height() - 1);
          
              // size of area we have. w = width , h = height , we take 2 pixles for border
              int w = width() - 2;
              int h = height() - 2;
          
              // now we find out how big each box should be which area we have  divided with how many on x and y
              bw = w / max_x;
              bh = h / max_y;
          
              // now we loop and drw the boxes
              for (int xi = 0; xi < max_x; ++xi) {
                  for (int yi = 0; yi < max_x; ++yi) {
                      p.drawRect( QRect( xi * bw, yi * bh, bw, bh  ) )  ;
                      p.drawText(QRect( xi * bw, yi * bh, bw, bh  ),
                                 QString::number(xi + 1) + "," + QString::number(yi+1) ); // the +1 aswe dont want to use first at 0,0
                  }
              }
          
          }

              But it dont draw numbers ?
              That seems very odd.

              But you do see grid ?

                  Ok that good news as it would be very impossible that numbers went missing :)

                  what is remaining is the click logic and to actual draw the 1.

                  how shall we draw 0 ones ?
                  just no value in cell and cant be selected or what is the goal?

                    my idea was to color all the 1s in green and the 0s in gray. so the user know that can select only the green cells, is it possible?

                        Yes its possible. we can paint it any way we like. teasers included.

                        Well im getting very tired as 4.20 in the morning is late for me even i do love programming at night.

                        Tomorrow we add the last part. It's not that much. Promise.
                        You did good. First custom widget is always a bit tuff.

                            Hi
                            The last remaining steps are to
                            +Add box width/height as members to use when clicking and a variable to keep track of the number of selected

                            class MatrixWidget : public QWidget
                            {....    
                                int bw =0;
                                int bh =0;
                                int selCount=0; // to make sure we can only select 3
                            ,...
                            

                            +call loadData from construtor.

                            +Set some colors in void MatrixWidget::LoadData()
                            for 0 cells and 1 cells (see code)

                            +Add selection logic to mousePress

                            void MatrixWidget::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
                            {
                                QPoint p = event->pos(); // where we clicked
                            
                                int xindex =  p.x() / bw;
                                int yindex =  p.y() / bh;
                            
                                qDebug() << xindex << " " << yindex;
                                // get the data point ( we should check index is not outside array...)
                                DataPoint &dp = Data[xindex + 1 ][yindex + 1]; 
                            
                                // value zero cannot be selected
                                if ( dp.value == 0 ) return;
                            
                                // selection logic. If not already selected, select it and set color. Else deselect and reset color
                                if ( dp.isSelected == false) {
                            
                                    // no more than 3 selected ( 0,1,2 )
                                    if ( selCount > 2 ) return;
                            
                                    dp.DrawColor = Qt::blue;
                                    dp.isSelected = true;
                                    selCount++; // extra selected
                                } else {
                                    dp.DrawColor =  Qt::green;
                                    dp.isSelected = false;
                                    selCount--; // less selected
                                }
                                update(); // tell it to redraw grid
                            
                            }
                            
                            

                            +Adjust draw to skip 0,0 as we don't use it but the array must start at zero.

                            void MatrixWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event)
                            {
                            
                                QPainter p(this);
                                // draw frame.
                                p.drawRect(0, 0, width() - 1, height() - 1);
                            
                                // size of area we have. w = width , h = height , we take 2 pixles for border
                                int w = width() - 2;
                                int h = height() - 2;
                            
                                // now we find out how big each box should be which area we have  divided with how many on x and y
                                bw = w / max_x;
                                bh = h / max_y;
                            
                                // now we loop and draw the boxes. we dont use the boxes from 0,0 as data starts with 1,1
                                for (int xi = 0; xi < max_x - 1; ++xi) {
                                    for (int yi = 0; yi < max_x - 1; ++yi) {
                                        p.setBrush(QBrush( Data[xi + 1][yi + 1].DrawColor )); // +1 as we dont want to use from 0,0
                                        QRect cellRect( xi * bw, yi * bh, bw, bh  );
                                        p.drawRect( cellRect );
                                        // show x,y . just for debug
                                        p.drawText( cellRect ,
                                                   QString::number(xi + 1) + "," +
                                                   QString::number(yi +1) );
                            
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                            
                            
                            

                            Then we have a working version.

                            Things to improve/add
                            The limit of how many points user can select,
                            should be a parameter to the class so it can be set to anything and not a fixed value.

                            The colors could also be parameters ( for not selectable, selectable and selected)

                            Add a function to return the selected data pointsby looping the Data list and check isSelected.

                              thanks! i'll do it step by step, i quite understand it, but when i run i got a black grid, and the error floating point exeption (core dumped) No more error, (i also see the coordinates in the debug), but black grid.

                                    Ok, i would guess that you forgot something from the maxtric class to put in yours.
                                    But if the grid is drawn ( you see it) and then when you click error comes ?

                                        If it compiles then all includes are fine.

                                        Do you load data ?

                                        Did you change LoadData function to set colors ?
                                        (or use mine, just change the path to the data file)

                                        I think all is just black :)
                                        (default zero)
