[Qt-interest] Draw an 1-bit mask in color?

[Stephen Chu]

Is there a way to draw a 1-bit mask image in color?

I have an runtime generated 1-bit mask and need to draw the mask in an 
user specified color over other graphics items. The 1s in the bitmap 
need to be in the user color and 0s as transparent.

>From the doc, it seems that I need to create a QPixmap and fill it with 
the color. Then setMask using the bitmap. This seems to be a lot of work 
(and memory) to do something simple.

Thanks.
