ImageView from png

[Luke M]

I'm working on something that is turning out to be a bit over my head. The end goal is to display a google map image with a gps track overlay. I was going to start by pulling the GPS image in png format from google maps using the Static Maps API, then creating an ImageView.

 

This is where I got hung up. The examples I found for ImageView used image arrays created randomly at runtime, rather than from an image file. I'm not sure how to get a png image, either from a file or StringIO object, into a format that ImageView can use.

 

Are there examples of this that I'm overlooking? Otherwise, could someone give me a nudge in the right direction?

 

Thanks,

Luke M

I recommend using QGraphicsPixmapItem inside pg.ViewBox (it sounds like ImageView is overkill for your application):

Great, thanks for the pointer, at first glance it looks like that will get me started. I'll dig into it a bit and may have some more questions once I've had a chance to play around.

Thanks again,
