No, you do want to redraw every time the main window resizes. But your design is somewhat weird, as you are creating random stuff inside the paintEvent function. You should create that stuff elsewhere as needed, store that stuff in a QPixmap or something and just redraw the image in the paintEvent function.

In other words, paintEvent should only repaint the view in its current state and should not contain anything that changes the state.
