I looked at that code again and I still don't get it. Shouldn't there
be something like

if(tile->valid()) //check if tile is valid
  p.drawImage(QImage(x,y,w,h,tile->pixelData)) //draw the tile on screen
else
  //do nothing

I know everything is a little bit more complicated then that, But I
could not find any part of the code that actually checks if the tile
is valid or not. I guess this check is just done in some clever way
somewhere and I just did not recognize it. Can someone tell me where
the code actually checks if a tile should be redrawn or not?

Take care,
Michael
