Drawing points

A point is the most simple graphics object that can be drawn. It is a small spot on the window.

        qp = QtGui.QPainter()

        qp.begin(self)

        self.drawPoints(qp)

        qp.end()

    def drawPoints(self, qp):

        qp.setPen(QtCore.Qt.red)

        size = self.size()

        for i in range(1000):

            x = random.randint(1, size.width()-1)

            y = random.randint(1, size.height()-1)

            qp.drawPoint(x, y)

    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

    ex = Example()

    sys.exit(app.exec_())

if __name__ == '__main__':

    main()

In our example, we draw randomly 1000 red points on the client area of the window.

qp.setPen(QtCore.Qt.red)

We set the pen to red colour. We use a predefined QtCore.Qt.red colour constant.

size = self.size()

Each time we resize the window, a paint event is generated. We get the current size of the window with the size() method. We use the size of the window to distribute the points all over the client area of the window.

qp.drawPoint(x, y)

We draw the point with the drawPoint() method.
