Guillaume Lazar

Guillaume Lazar is a software engineer living in France, near Paris. He has worked in different companies, from start-ups to multinationals, for the last 10 years. He took the opportunity to observe and learn many team organizations and technologies. In 2014, he founded his own software development company at the age of 27. The current hierarchical organization that applies to most companies seems obsolete to him. With his own company, he wants to try a different approach. Although he defines himself as a Qt framework lover, he likes to mix different technologies and platforms. He also spends time on game development, machine learning, and electronics, because "things" become "alive".

He worked in start-ups and large companies with many technologies that ranged from embedded software to web development. Armed with this experience, he wrote the Mastering Qt 5 book to spread what he loves the most about the programming craft: proper design and quality code. The teaching bug has bitten him, and he continues to share what he learned online using videos. When he is not tinkering with some new technology, he is either on a wall, rock-climbing, or playing music on his piano. You can reach him via Twitter @synapticrob.

Designing the UI with FilterWidget

Fine. Our filter classes are implemented, and we can now create our custom widget. This widget will take as inputs: a source picture and a thumbnail picture. Then the thumbnail will be immediately processed to display a preview of the filter. If the user clicks on the widget, it will process the source picture and trigger a signal with the filtered picture. Keep in mind that this widget will later be dragged and dropped in the Form Editor of Qt Creator. That's why we will provide properties with getters and setters to select a filter from Qt Creator. Let's create a new widget called FilterWidget using the Qt Designer Form Class template. The FilterWidget.ui is really simple, as you can see in the following screenshot:

The titleLabel is a QLabel on top of the QWidget. In the following code, thumbnailLabel will display the filtered...
