Scrollbars Do Not Appear in PyQt5 Custom Label

A few months ago I wanted to know how to draw on an image (Insert Image into QGridLayout and Draw on top of image in PyQt5). Eyllanesc very kindly gave me a complete solution. I now would like to have this image widget scrollable so I can enlarge it. Howerver, when I add a scroll area the scrollbars do not appear. When I do force the scrollbars to appear, they do not seem to be attached to anything. I've looked at a number of posts on Scroll Areas: /45515445/, /6792862/, /55149412/, /23446855/, /46979944/, /46024724/, /53843836/, /11886908/, /53914267/, /53843836/, /45515445/, /52671838/. These solutions are not in a QGridLayout, but I don't know if this is the source of my problem or not. Could anyone help me? Thank you!

QScrollArea uses size() and minimumSizeHint() to set when the scrollbar is needed, so in your case it is fixed and does not depend on the size of the image which causes the problem. 

class ImageLabel(QWidget):
    # ...
    def changePixmap(self,img, x, y):
        self.image = QPixmap(img).scaled(x, y, Qt.KeepAspectRatio)  #/34213021/, /21802868/
        self.update()
        self.resize(self.image.size())

    def sizeHint(self):
        return self.image.size()

    def minimumSizeHint(self):
        return self.sizeHint()

It is also not necessary to force the appearance of the scrollbar so you must remove:

self.scroller.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOn)
self.scroller.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOn)
