Yes it is possible. Also for only a big background, a qscrollview (which
qcanvas inherits) is better than raw qpainter.

He says he wants to put some geographical information on top of the map. I
think it is easier to handle this with a Canvas and sprites. You don't care
about the painting, you get almost automatic transparency, you can easily
place your sprites, you could even animate them if you want some fun. This
is a lot easier than dealing with paint events on widgets.
