Hello eno,

Thank you for detailed explanation.  It is very helpful.

According to QT document, QPixmap::QPixmap( int w, int h, const uchar
*bits, bool ) is protected, and is uesd to "construct a monochrome
pixmap".  Well, I can inherit from QPixmap to work around the
"pretected" problem.  But, how can I construct a 24bits image?

Many thanks,
