Detailed Description

The class extends a QGraphicsItem with QObject’s signal/slot and property mechanisms. It maps many of QGraphicsItem ‘s basic setters and getters to properties and adds notification signals for many of them.

Parents and Children

Each graphics object can be constructed with a parent item. This ensures that the item will be destroyed when its parent item is destroyed. Although QGraphicsObject inherits from both QObject and QGraphicsItem , you should use the functions provided by QGraphicsItem , not QObject, to manage the relationships between parent and child items.

The relationships between items can be explored using the parentItem() and childItems() functions. In the hierarchy of items in a scene, the parentObject() and parentWidget() functions are the equivalent of the QWidget::parent() and parentWidget() functions for QWidget subclasses.

Note

Properties can be used directly when from __feature__ import true_property is used or via accessor functions otherwise.

property effectᅟ: QGraphicsEffect

This property holds the effect attached to this item.

See also

setGraphicsEffect() graphicsEffect()

Access functions:

property enabledᅟ: bool

This property holds whether the item is enabled or not.

This property is declared in QGraphicsItem .

By default, this property is true.

See also

isEnabled() setEnabled()

Access functions:

• Signal enabledChanged()

property opacityᅟ: float

This property holds the opacity of the item.

See also

setOpacity() opacity()

Access functions:

• Signal opacityChanged()

property parentᅟ: QGraphicsObject

This property holds the parent of the item.

Note

The item’s parent is set independently of the parent object returned by QObject::parent().

See also

setParentItem() parentObject()

Access functions:

• Signal parentChanged()

property posᅟ: QPointF

This property holds the position of the item.

Describes the items position.

See also

setPos() pos()

Access functions:

property rotationᅟ: float

This property holds the rotation of the item in degrees..

This specifies how many degrees to rotate the item around its transformOrigin. The default rotation is 0 degrees (i.e. not rotated at all).

Access functions:

• Signal rotationChanged()

property scaleᅟ: float

This property holds the scale of the item..

A scale of less than 1 means the item will be displayed smaller than normal, and a scale of greater than 1 means the item will be displayed larger than normal. A negative scale means the item will be mirrored.

By default, items are displayed at a scale of 1 (i.e. at their normal size).

Scaling is from the item’s transformOrigin.

Access functions:

• Signal scaleChanged()

property transformOriginPointᅟ: QPointF

This property holds the transformation origin.

This property sets a specific point in the item’s coordinate system as the origin for scale and rotation.

See also

scale rotation transformOriginPoint()

Access functions:

property visibleᅟ: bool

This property holds whether the item is visible or not.

This property is declared in QGraphicsItem .

By default, this property is true.

See also

isVisible() setVisible()

Access functions:

• Signal visibleChanged()

property xᅟ: float

This property holds the x position of the item.

Describes the items x position.

See also

Access functions:

• Signal xChanged()

This property holds the y position of the item.

Describes the items y position.

See also

Describes the items z value.

See also

setZValue() zValue()

Access functions:
