Whenever you need a heightForWidth(), you're doing it wrong. Now, I've thought
I needed the same thing, but you only need that when you're trying to maintain
an aspect ratio. It is very simple to write your own QWidget subclass, but
realize you don't want to really modify the height, you just want to know it to
maintain the aspect ratio. You'll figure this out when you code a proper one.
:-)
Or, libQxt has as "LetterBox" widget that will parent the widget and do what
you want.

Subject: [Interest] heightForWidth
I have a need for windows that maintain a set aspect ratio, so I implemented
heightForWidth(). Since I'm still exploring, I made it very simple (this
function is called by a wrapper class that actually implements
heightForWidth()):
int grafRec::doHeightForWidth(int w)
{
return w/2;
}
I set a size policy:
QSizePolicy policy(QSizePolicy::Preferred, QSizePolicy::Preferred);
policy.setHeightForWidth(true);
content->setSizePolicy(policy);
The object called "content" is a subclass of QWidget and it is embedded in a
cell of a QGridLayout. There are no other cells in the layout occupied. The
layout and managed content widget are embedded in a top-level widget.
This actually works up to a point. As I make the window get wider, it also gets
taller in proportion. But evidently Qt is enforcing a height that is *at least*
half the width, where I really need a height that is *exactly* half the width.
Is this working as expected, that the height returned by heightForWidth() is
really a minimum height? If that is so, is there a way to achieve what I really
want?
Thank you all!
