That’s a good setting to know about, so thank you for pointing it out. Unfortunately, this isn’t what I am trying to accomplish. I have a singleton QGraphicsItem that acts as a canvas and is always resized to fit the view’s viewport. This canvas item paints lines to a QImage buffer with each QPointF that comes in from the pencil or mouse, and each call to paint() just paints the QImage buffer. When the pencil or mouse is lifted, it produces a QPixmap from the boundingRect of the drawn data and creates a QGraphicsPixmapItem to contain it. Each pencil stroke is created in this way which works quite well (undo/move/delete, etc.), except for the low-res rendering.
The canvas item uses a QImage “double-buffer” not to speed up performance but to contain the pixmap data that is used to produce the pencil stroke items.
