geometry of QGraphicsRectItem


I have a qgraphicsRectItem drawn on a qgraphicsScene. With mouse events, it's being moved over the scene, resized and repositioned, ie, select the item, mousePress and mouseMove. How can I get the geometry of that qgraphicsRectItem boundingRect, pos wrt scene on mouseReleaseEvent? There's a image on scene, and a boundingrect of qgraphicsRectItem is drawn on the scene, then i need to get qrect for cropping that portion of image within the bounding rect.


Solution

  • You have to use mapRectToScene() of the items:

    it->mapRectToScene(it->boundingRect());
    

    Example:

    #include <QApplication>
    #include <QGraphicsRectItem>
    #include <QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent>
    #include <QGraphicsView>
    
    #include <QDebug>
    
    class GraphicsScene: public QGraphicsScene{
    public:
        using QGraphicsScene::QGraphicsScene;
    protected:
        void mouseReleaseEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event){
            print_items();
            QGraphicsScene::mouseReleaseEvent(event);
        }
        void mouseMoveEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event){
             print_items();
            QGraphicsScene::mouseMoveEvent(event);
        }
    private:
        void print_items(){
            for(QGraphicsItem *it: items()){
                qDebug()<< it->data(Qt::UserRole+1).toString()<< it->mapRectToScene(it->boundingRect());
            }
        }
    };
    
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        QApplication a(argc, argv);
        QGraphicsView w;
        GraphicsScene scene(0, 0, 400, 400);
        w.setScene(&scene);
    
        QGraphicsRectItem *item = new QGraphicsRectItem(QRectF(-10, -10, 20, 20));
        item->setData(Qt::UserRole+1, "item1");
        item->setBrush(QBrush(Qt::green));
        item->setFlags(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsMovable);
    
        QGraphicsRectItem *item2 = new QGraphicsRectItem(QRectF(0, 0, 20, 20));
        item2->setData(Qt::UserRole+1, "item2");
        item2->setBrush(QBrush(Qt::blue));
        item2->setFlags(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsMovable);
    
        scene.addItem(item);
        scene.addItem(item2);
        w.show();
    
        return a.exec();
    }
