GIF animation in Qt


I have used QGraphicsView, QGraphicsScene classes in order to show a picture in a widget like this:

m_Scene->addPixmap(QPixmap(fileName));
m_View->setScene(m_Scene);

How I can show .gif animation in the same scene?


Solution

  • I don't use GIF animation with QGraphicsView or QGraphicsScene, I use it only in QDialog, but I think it's the same stuff, so here is my code:

    QMovie *movie = new QMovie(":/images/other/images/16x16/loading.gif");
    QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(this);
    processLabel->setMovie(movie);
    movie->start();
    

    My loading.gif I took from this link.


    PS: also check the examples from Qt SDK. They are really can help!
