[Paraview] Custom Panel will NOT load image as Icon.

[Paul Edwards]

1) You need to check you are adding the resources:

    QT4_ADD_RESOURCES(RCS_SRCS MyResource.qrc)

Check this by looking at the generated file in the build directory
(qrc_MyResource.cxx).

2) Make sure you are including it in the plugin:

    ADD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN(MyPlugin ....
                    ....
                    SOURCES ... ${RCS_SRCS} ...)

Check this with make VERBOSE=1 to make sure it is being linked in

3) And, if both of the above are correct make sure that you refer to your
resource correctly.

e.g. for foo.jpg in ResourceFile.qrc:

<RCC>
  <qresource prefix="/MyResource">
    <file>foo.jpg</file>
  </qresource>
</RCC>

Use:
    :/MyResource/foo.jpg


Hope that helps!

Regards,
Paul

PS there is something qt documentation that mentions how you may need to
call Q_INIT_RESOURCE if the resource is in a static library:-
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/resources.html

Make sure you are linking this file into your executable
