I am trying to create a grid layout of images kind of like how google images does it.

I want to add fixed sized images left to right, top to bottom but I am having trouble is figuring out when adding another image to a row would make it not fit and then decide that that images should be placed in a new row.

Also when the window resizes it should move images into/from rows based on how many it can fit in.

Ive got a scroll area with a grid layout in it which is fine if I know what can fit, but I can't figure out how to make it move items if say the window width is shrunk, and say an item needs to be moved down 1 row which moves other etc.

Assuming you are using QWidgets I'd suggest you to use QListView which does the layouting for free, if you want more control on how items are displayed use a QItemDelegate. For QListView the view mode should be set to QListView::IconMode so that you have a grid of items and not a list.

But if you are using QtQuick things are much easier, a GridView with Image delegates would do what you want really quickly and using GPU power to build you UI.

  • Cool thanks, I've messed around with QListView and it does exactly what I need. I'll have to look int QtQuick, I've never done anything with it. Im currently doing my layouts in Qt Designer. I'm pretty new to qt so thanks for the advice! – VangardMk Apr 13 '16 at 19:30
