QPicture and Qpainter PyQt4

Hi,

It looks like you have several things wrong:

Normally, you don't paint inside a slot. You paint inside the
paintEvent() method which is called automatically by Qt when an area
of your widget needs to be repainted.

Don't load a picture inside a paintevent. Loading is an expensive
process, you don't want to repeat it all the time.

Second, you should check that your picture was loaded. Sometimes, it's
a file problem. Check the size of your picture for example.

Third, I think you should have :
    gr.begin( self )

Else, the painter is not painting on your widget.

Hope that helps.
