Golang : Set horizontal, vertical scroll bars policies and disable interaction on Qt image

In the previous tutorial on how to create an image viewer with Qt example, a reader is wanted to know how to remove the horizontal and vertical scroll bars.

In Qt application, if the displayed image is large, the application will automatically resize the image and set up scroll bars along the right and bottom axis. To disable scroll bars, simply set the policies to Qt__ScrollBarAlwaysOff

Add these lines starting from line 53, before view.SetScene(scene)

 view.SetHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(core.Qt__ScrollBarAlwaysOff)
 view.SetVerticalScrollBarPolicy(core.Qt__ScrollBarAlwaysOff)
 view.SetEnabled(false) // disable interaction, no drag and move by mouse
 view.SetScene(scene)

If you're planning to disallow the user from dragging and moving the image. Simply use SetEnabled(false) to render any attempts to interact with the image futile.

Apart from ScrollBarAlwaysOff policy, there are also

 Qt__ScrollBarAsNeeded  = appear as needed
 Qt__ScrollBarAlwaysOn  = always appear along the axis
