qMin(double, whatever_type_f_is)

If f is float, convert it to double. The best solution would be to make it double to start with, but if that is not practical, simply cast it:

Code:

qMin(qMin(s.width() / 2, s.height() / 2), double(f))

C++ is funny like that. In C, the conversion from float to double is automatic. C++ thinks it's too cool for that.

EDIT:
In this case, C++ cannot convert automatically because qMin is a template and requires the same type for both parameters. The compiler does not know whether to convert them both to float or to double, so it gives up and throws a wobbly. I still think it should be smart enough to convert them both to the wider type, but as I say, C++ can be funny sometimes.
