Func theTime
return "Time : " + Time()
55.31 Display Scaled Image using QLabel
In this example we will learn about displaying and scaling an image so that it looks “animated” using the QLabel
widget
Load "guilib.ring"
#----------------------------------------------------
# REQUIRES: image = "C:RINGbinstock.jpg"
# imageStock: start dimensions for growing image
imageW = 200 ; imageH = 200 ; GrowBy = 4
###----------------------------------------------------
### Window and Box Size dimensions
WinWidth = 1280 ; WinHeight = 960
BoxWidth = WinWidth -80 ; BoxHeight = WinHeight -80
###----------------------------------------------------
New qapp {
win1 = new qwidget() {
setgeometry(50,50, WinWidth,WinHeight)
setwindowtitle("Animated Image - Display Image Scaled and Resized")
imageStock = new qlabel(win1) {
image = new qpixmap("C:RINGbinstock.jpg")
AspectRatio = image.width() / image.height()
imageW = 200
imageH = imageH / AspectRatio
### Size-H, Size-V, Aspect, Transform
setpixmap(image.scaled(imageW , imageH ,0,0))
PosLeft = (BoxWidth - imageW ) / 2
PosTop = (BoxHeight - imageH ) / 2

setGeometry(PosLeft,PosTop,imageW,imageH)
}
TimerMan = new qtimer(win1) {
setinterval(100) ### interval 100 millisecs.
settimeoutevent("pTime()") ### ==>> func
start()
}
show()
}
exec()
}
###------------------------------------------------------
### Fuction TimerMan: calling interval 100 milliseconds
func pTime
### Stop Timer when image is size of Window area
if imageW > BoxWidth
TimerMan.stop()
imageStock.clear() ### Will clear the image
ok
### Grow image
imageW += GrowBy
imageH = imageW / AspectRatio
### Scaled Image: Size-H, Size-V, Aspect, Transform
imageStock.setpixmap(image.scaled(imageW , imageH ,0,0))
### Center the image
PosLeft = (WinWidth - imageW ) / 2
PosTop = (WinHeight - imageH ) / 2
imageStock.setGeometry(PosLeft,PosTop,imageW,imageH)
