[PyKDE] Displaying an image

[Matthew Singer]

Thanks Jim,

This got me an image, but the color map is all wrong.  What else so I have
to do?


    q = QWidget()
    view = QLabel(q)
    pixmap = QPixmap()
    pixmap.load("myimage.jpg")
    view.resize(pixmap.size())
    q.resize(pixmap.size())
    view.setPixmap(pixmap)
    view.show()
    q.show()

Alternatively, make 'view' a QLabel instead of QWidget, since QLabel knows
how 
to display a pixmap (or look at the QLabel C++ code if you really need to 
draw it yourself)
