Greetings .
I am implementing a custom widget that displays an image and has several buttons and other elements.
I want to allow the user to highlight area of interest in the image using the mouse (similar to that used in image management programs like MS Paint) . To this end, I have reimplemented methods :
mousePressEvent ( QMouseEvent * event)
mouseReleaseEvent ( QMouseEvent * event)
mouseMoveEvent ( QMouseEvent * event)
paintEvent ( QPaintEvent * event)
Roughly what I do with these functions is to draw on the image , in the area marked with the mouse , a dotted rectangle (yellow in this case) . Actually , I think it generally works well , my question is on two related aspects :
- Is what I am doing the best way to do the task I described above (ie , I paint one more rectangle on an image in an area marked with the mouse ) ?
- I want the dotted lines that form the rectangle were less thick, saw a little more elongated and have more space between them.
Here , when I speak of “thickness” I specifically mean the vertical thickness of the ( 2) horizontal lines and the horizontal thickness of the ( 2) vertical lines forming the sides of the rectangle .
Thanks in advance for any help and / or suggestions.
