I'm creating an analog clock in Qt-Creator 5, now I want to draw the numbers to the screen, but it doesn't work?

painter.drawText(QPoint(50, 50), "12");

I absolutely don't see the point why it doesn't work. when I replace this line in my code with a .drawEllipse, it works fine. So the position/color can't be the problem, except drawText would not use the setBrush() color.

Anyone knows how to correctly draw text on the screen with the QPainter?

//previous code only draws blue ellipses with white background
QColor secondColor(240,0,0);

painter.setPen(Qt::NoPen);
painter.setBrush(secondColor);
painter.save();

QFont font=painter.font() ;
font.setPointSize(18);
painter.setFont(font);
painter.drawText(QPoint(50, 50), "12");

because it's at the end of paintEvent it can't be overdrawn

    Could be your pen color. Could be you're painting something on top. There's really no way of knowing where your bug is without a piece of code that reproduces your problem. – Mat May 07 '13 at 06:06
  • i've added some code, but its at the end of paintEvent, so overdrawing cant be the problem. color is Red, also no problem because everything other is white – Postback May 07 '13 at 06:09

    `painter.setPen(Qt::NoPen);`? – Mat May 07 '13 at 06:11
  • i guess in the analog-clock-tutorial from QT the pen always got setted to `Qt::NoPen` and in no drawText code snippet i saw a `setPen`. checked it now by setting it to red and worked. thx – Postback May 07 '13 at 06:15
