That's the idea, yes.

Here, because you are using a QLabel to show the image, it should
automatically appear correctly in the QScrollArea.

(Aside: If you create your own custom widget (by subclassing QWidget), you
have to reimplement the sizeHint() method as well as the paintEvent() method
to make it appear correctly in a QScrollArea. By using a standard widget
designed to show an image, you neatly avoid this problem.)

This should work. I'll post comments on your earlier message about the
Basic Drawing example in a separate message. You might also find it
useful to look at the Image Viewer example (widgets/imageviewer).
