C++ Programming By Example - Painting User Input on Screen

This video tutorial explains how to create a basic painting application using Qt5's QPainter class. It covers setting up the application, implementing drawing logic, and handling mouse events to draw on the screen. The tutorial also demonstrates how to test the application and add an erase feature using the right mouse button. Viewers are encouraged to experiment with different parameters to customize the application further.
