I'm trying to paint some points of my image and I don't know why it doesn't work. I have defined a QImage and I want to modify some points.

QImage *cou= new QImage(height,largeur,QImage::Format_Mono);
    cou->fill(1);
    QPainter *fig=new QPainter (cou);
    for (i=0;i<size_;i++)
    {
        fig-> drawPoint(floor(propa[i]),nbmax[i]);
    }

When I execute the code I obtain 

QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 3

and in the following lines:

QPainter::drawPoints: Painter not active

QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 3

The error means that the image you're trying to paint is a null image. Use isNull on couto check this.
The cause of image being null may be the wrong height and largeur params when the image is constructed, or you're out of memory
