Thanks, actually my source image was in a resource so it was possible to 
load the bitmap directly from the resource:

QBitmap theBitmap( ":/DynamicsMeterNumber0.png" );
...
painter->setBackgroundMode(Qt::TransparentMode);
painter->setPen(theColor);
painter->drawPixmap(where, theBitmap);

Many thanks

Ross.
