copy QPixmap of one Qlabel to another Qlabel

Question

I am trying to add a QPixmap to a QLabel taken from another QLabel but there is an error :

Here is the code

const QPixmap *tempPix = new QPixmap("");
tempPix = (label1->pixmap());
label2->setPixmap(tempPix);  //error cannot convert from const QPixmap* to const QPixmap&

and if I do it like this:

const QPixmap tempPix("");
tempPix = (label1->pixmap()); //error cannot convert QPixmap and QPixmap*
label2->setPixmap(tempPix);

Answer 1

To copy data from a pointer object to an object you must use the *

QPixmap tempPix;
if(label1->pixmap()){
    tempPix = *label1->pixmap();
    label2->setPixmap(tempPix);
 }
