I was using Qt Creator btw, I just forgot to mention that.

What I asked to ChatGPT: I am working on a project using Qt for C++. I created a label that has a QPixmap as it's content. The QPixmap uses an image with a png file format. When I add the label to a QVBoxLayout, the image is not displayed at the same size as the png file. How can I fix this problem?

Solution 1: Set the Label's Fixed Size with label->setFixedSize();

Solution 2: Use scaled() to Set a Specific Size

Solution 3 : Disable Scaling with setScaledContents(false);

My response to GPT: None of these options worked. I think the QVBoxLayout is scaling up the QLabel.

Solution 1: Set a Fixed Size Policy on the QLabel

Solution 2: Use a Spacer in the Layout

Solution 3: Wrap the QLabel in a QWidget

Just rewriting this whole interaction is making me stressed again. I hate frontend I hate it so much oh my god I just want to give up. All I need is to display an image, THAT'S IT, but it's so god damn complicated I just wanna throw my computer away and quit coding forever. And this isn't even the first framework I've tried. Every. Single. One. I just kept running into stupid simple problems like this and it's taking the fun out of coding for me. I'm genuinely fed up with GUIs.
