Detailed Description

The QGraphicsScene class provides a surface for managing a large number of 2D graphical items.

Since
4.2

\inmodule QtWidgets

The class serves as a container for QGraphicsItems. It is used together with QGraphicsView for visualizing graphical items, such as lines, rectangles, text, or even custom items, on a 2D surface. QGraphicsScene is part of the \l{Graphics View Framework}.

QGraphicsScene also provides functionality that lets you efficiently determine both the location of items, and for determining what items are visible within an arbitrary area on the scene. With the QGraphicsView widget, you can either visualize the whole scene, or zoom in and view only parts of the scene.

Example:

Note that QGraphicsScene has no visual appearance of its own; it only manages the items. You need to create a QGraphicsView widget to visualize the scene.

To add items to a scene, you start off by constructing a QGraphicsScene object. Then, you have two options: either add your existing QGraphicsItem objects by calling addItem(), or you can call one of the convenience functions addEllipse(), addLine(), addPath(), addPixmap(), addPolygon(), addRect(), or addText(), which all return a pointer to the newly added item. The dimensions of the items added with these functions are relative to the item's coordinate system, and the items position is initialized to (0, 0) in the scene.

You can then visualize the scene using QGraphicsView. When the scene changes, (e.g., when an item moves or is transformed) QGraphicsScene emits the changed() signal. To remove an item, call removeItem().

QGraphicsScene uses an indexing algorithm to manage the location of items efficiently. By default, a BSP (Binary Space Partitioning) tree is used; an algorithm suitable for large scenes where most items remain static (i.e., do not move around). You can choose to disable this index by calling setItemIndexMethod(). For more information about the available indexing algorithms, see the itemIndexMethod property.

The scene's bounding rect is set by calling setSceneRect(). Items can be placed at any position on the scene, and the size of the scene is by default unlimited. The scene rect is used only for internal bookkeeping, maintaining the scene's item index. If the scene rect is unset, QGraphicsScene will use the bounding area of all items, as returned by itemsBoundingRect(), as the scene rect. However, itemsBoundingRect() is a relatively time consuming function, as it operates by collecting positional information for every item on the scene. Because of this, you should always set the scene rect when operating on large scenes.

One of QGraphicsScene's greatest strengths is its ability to efficiently determine the location of items. Even with millions of items on the scene, the items() functions can determine the location of an item within a few milliseconds. There are several overloads to items(): one that finds items at a certain position, one that finds items inside or intersecting with a polygon or a rectangle, and more. The list of returned items is sorted by stacking order, with the topmost item being the first item in the list. For convenience, there is also an itemAt() function that returns the topmost item at a given position.

QGraphicsScene maintains selection information for the scene. To select items, call setSelectionArea(), and to clear the current selection, call clearSelection(). Call selectedItems() to get the list of all selected items.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ ItemIndexMethod

This enum describes the indexing algorithms QGraphicsScene provides for managing positional information about items on the scene.

\value BspTreeIndex A Binary Space Partitioning tree is applied. All QGraphicsScene's item location algorithms are of an order close to logarithmic complexity, by making use of binary search. Adding, moving and removing items is logarithmic. This approach is best for static scenes (i.e., scenes where most items do not move).

\value NoIndex No index is applied. Item location is of linear complexity, as all items on the scene are searched. Adding, moving and removing items, however, is done in constant time. This approach is ideal for dynamic scenes, where many items are added, moved or removed continuously.

◆ SceneLayer

Since
4.3

This enum describes the rendering layers in a QGraphicsScene. When QGraphicsScene draws the scene contents, it renders each of these layers separately, in order.

Each layer represents a flag that can be OR'ed together when calling functions such as invalidate() or QGraphicsView::invalidateScene().

\value ItemLayer The item layer. QGraphicsScene renders all items are in this layer by calling the virtual function drawItems(). The item layer is drawn after the background layer, but before the foreground layer.

\value BackgroundLayer The background layer. QGraphicsScene renders the scene's background in this layer by calling the virtual function drawBackground(). The background layer is drawn first of all layers.

\value ForegroundLayer The foreground layer. QGraphicsScene renders the scene's foreground in this layer by calling the virtual function drawForeground(). The foreground layer is drawn last of all layers.

\value AllLayers All layers; this value represents a combination of all three layers.

◆ addEllipse() [1/2]

QGraphicsEllipseItem * QGraphicsScene::addEllipse ( const QRectF rect,
const QPen pen = QPen(),
const QBrush brush = QBrush() 
)

Creates and adds an ellipse item to the scene, and returns the item pointer. The geometry of the ellipse is defined by rect, and its pen and brush are initialized to pen and brush.

Note that the item's geometry is provided in item coordinates, and its position is initialized to (0, 0).

If the item is visible (i.e., QGraphicsItem::isVisible() returns true), QGraphicsScene will emit changed() once control goes back to the event loop.

inline
Since
4.3

This convenience function is equivalent to calling addEllipse(QRectF(x, y, w, h), pen, brush).

Definition at line 179 of file qgraphicsscene.h.

◆ addItem()

void QGraphicsScene::addItem ( QGraphicsItem item)

Adds or moves the item and all its children to this scene. This scene takes ownership of the item.

If the item is visible (i.e., QGraphicsItem::isVisible() returns true), QGraphicsScene will emit changed() once control goes back to the event loop.

If the item is already in a different scene, it will first be removed from its old scene, and then added to this scene as a top-level.

QGraphicsScene will send ItemSceneChange notifications to item while it is added to the scene. If item does not currently belong to a scene, only one notification is sent. If it does belong to scene already (i.e., it is moved to this scene), QGraphicsScene will send an addition notification as the item is removed from its previous scene.

If the item is a panel, the scene is active, and there is no active panel in the scene, then the item will be activated.

const QPen pen = QPen(),
const QBrush brush = QBrush() 
)

Creates and adds a rectangle item to the scene, and returns the item pointer. The geometry of the rectangle is defined by rect, and its pen and brush are initialized to pen and brush.

Note that the item's geometry is provided in item coordinates, and its position is initialized to (0, 0). For example, if a QRect(50, 50, 100, 100) is added, its top-left corner will be at (50, 50) relative to the origin in the item's coordinate system.

If the item is visible (i.e., QGraphicsItem::isVisible() returns true), QGraphicsScene will emit changed() once control goes back to the event loop.

Deprecated:

Paints the given items using the provided painter, after the background has been drawn, and before the foreground has been drawn. All painting is done in scene coordinates. Before drawing each item, the painter must be transformed using QGraphicsItem::sceneTransform().

The options parameter is the list of style option objects for each item in items. The numItems parameter is the number of items in items and options in options. The widget parameter is optional; if specified, it should point to the widget that is being painted on.

The default implementation prepares the painter matrix, and calls QGraphicsItem::paint() on all items. Reimplement this function to provide custom painting of all items for the scene; gaining complete control over how each item is drawn. In some cases this can increase drawing performance significantly.

Example:

Since Qt 4.6, this function is not called anymore unless the QGraphicsView::IndirectPainting flag is given as an Optimization flag.

signal

This signal is emitted by QGraphicsScene whenever focus changes in the scene (i.e., when an item gains or loses input focus, or when focus passes from one item to another). You can connect to this signal if you need to keep track of when other items gain input focus. It is particularly useful for implementing virtual keyboards, input methods, and cursor items.

oldFocusItem is a pointer to the item that previously had focus, or 0 if no item had focus before the signal was emitted. newFocusItem is a pointer to the item that gained input focus, or \nullptr if focus was lost. reason is the reason for the focus change (e.g., if the scene was deactivated while an input field had focus, oldFocusItem would point to the input field item, newFocusItem would be \nullptr, and reason would be Qt::ActiveWindowFocusReason.

This event handler, for event mouseEvent, can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse double-click events for the scene.

If someone doubleclicks on the scene, the scene will first receive a mouse press event, followed by a release event (i.e., a click), then a double-click event, and finally a release event. If the double-click event is delivered to a different item than the one that received the first press and release, it will be delivered as a press event. However, tripleclick events are not delivered as double-click events in this case.

The default implementation is similar to mousePressEvent().

Note: See items() for a definition of which items are considered visible by this function.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ mouseGrabberItem()

QGraphicsItem * QGraphicsScene::mouseGrabberItem ( ) const

Returns the current mouse grabber item, or \nullptr if no item is currently grabbing the mouse. The mouse grabber item is the item that receives all mouse events sent to the scene.

An item becomes a mouse grabber when it receives and accepts a mouse press event, and it stays the mouse grabber until either of the following events occur:

\list

  • If the item receives a mouse release event when there are no other buttons pressed, it loses the mouse grab.
  • If the item becomes invisible (i.e., someone calls {item->setVisible(false)}), or if it becomes disabled (i.e., someone calls {item->setEnabled(false)}), it loses the mouse grab.
  • If the item is removed from the scene, it loses the mouse grab. \endlist

If the item loses its mouse grab, the scene will ignore all mouse events until a new item grabs the mouse (i.e., until a new item receives a mouse press event).

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ mouseMoveEvent()

void QGraphicsScene::mouseMoveEvent ( QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent mouseEvent)
protectedvirtual

This event handler, for event mouseEvent, can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse move events for the scene.

The default implementation depends on the mouse grabber state. If there is a mouse grabber item, the event is sent to the mouse grabber. If there are any items that accept hover events at the current position, the event is translated into a hover event and accepted; otherwise it's ignored.

◆ mousePressEvent()

void QGraphicsScene::mousePressEvent ( QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent mouseEvent)
protectedvirtual

This event handler, for event mouseEvent, can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse press events for the scene.

The default implementation depends on the state of the scene. If there is a mouse grabber item, then the event is sent to the mouse grabber. Otherwise, it is forwarded to the topmost visible item that accepts mouse events at the scene position from the event, and that item promptly becomes the mouse grabber item.

If there is no item at the given position on the scene, the selection area is reset, any focus item loses its input focus, and the event is then ignored.

void QGraphicsScene::mouseReleaseEvent ( QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent mouseEvent)
protectedvirtual

This event handler, for event mouseEvent, can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse release events for the scene.

The default implementation depends on the mouse grabber state. If there is no mouse grabber, the event is ignored. Otherwise, if there is a mouse grabber item, the event is sent to the mouse grabber. If this mouse release represents the last pressed button on the mouse, the mouse grabber item then loses the mouse grab.

◆ render()

void QGraphicsScene::render ( QPainter painter,
const QRectF target = QRectF(),
const QRectF source = QRectF(),
Qt::AspectRatioMode  aspectRatioMode = Qt::KeepAspectRatio 
)

Renders the source rect from scene into target, using painter. This function is useful for capturing the contents of the scene onto a paint device, such as a QImage (e.g., to take a screenshot), or for printing with QPrinter. For example:

If source is a null rect, this function will use sceneRect() to determine what to render. If target is a null rect, the dimensions of painter's paint device will be used.

The source rect contents will be transformed according to aspectRatioMode to fit into the target rect. By default, the aspect ratio is kept, and source is scaled to fit in target.

◆ selectionChanged

QGraphicsScene::selectionChanged ( )
signal
Since
4.3

This signal is emitted by QGraphicsScene whenever the selection changes. You can call selectedItems() to get the new list of selected items.

The selection changes whenever an item is selected or unselected, a selection area is set, cleared or otherwise changed, if a preselected item is added to the scene, or if a selected item is removed from the scene.

QGraphicsScene emits this signal only once for group selection operations. For example, if you set a selection area, select or unselect a QGraphicsItemGroup, or if you add or remove from the scene a parent item that contains several selected items, selectionChanged() is emitted only once after the operation has completed (instead of once for each item).

If item is \nullptr, or if it either does not accept focus (i.e., it does not have the QGraphicsItem::ItemIsFocusable flag enabled), or is not visible or not enabled, this function only removes focus from any previous focusitem.

If item is not \nullptr, and the scene does not currently have focus (i.e., hasFocus() returns false), this function will call setFocus() automatically.

Sets the selection area to path. All items within this area are immediately selected, and all items outside are unselected. You can get the list of all selected items by calling selectedItems().

deviceTransform is the transformation that applies to the view, and needs to be provided if the scene contains items that ignore transformations.

Since
4.4

Sets or replaces the style of the scene to style, and reparents the style to this scene. Any previously assigned style is deleted. The scene's style defaults to QApplication::style(), and serves as the default for all QGraphicsWidget items in the scene.

Changing the style, either directly by calling this function, or indirectly by calling QApplication::setStyle(), will automatically update the style for all widgets in the scene that do not have a style explicitly assigned to them.

If style is \nullptr, QGraphicsScene will revert to QApplication::style().

Property Documentation

◆ backgroundBrush

QGraphicsScene::backgroundBrush
readwrite

the background brush of the scene.

Set this property to changes the scene's background to a different color, gradient or texture. The default background brush is Qt::NoBrush. The background is drawn before (behind) the items.

Example:

QGraphicsScene::render() calls drawBackground() to draw the scene background. For more detailed control over how the background is drawn, you can reimplement drawBackground() in a subclass of QGraphicsScene.

Definition at line 306 of file qgraphicsscene.h.

◆ bspTreeDepth

QGraphicsScene::bspTreeDepth
readwrite

the depth of QGraphicsScene's BSP index tree

Since
4.3

This property has no effect when NoIndex is used.

This value determines the depth of QGraphicsScene's BSP tree. The depth directly affects QGraphicsScene's performance and memory usage; the latter growing exponentially with the depth of the tree. With an optimal tree depth, QGraphicsScene can instantly determine the locality of items, even for scenes with thousands or millions of items. This also greatly improves rendering performance.

By default, the value is 0, in which case Qt will guess a reasonable default depth based on the size, location and number of items in the scene. If these parameters change frequently, however, you may experience slowdowns as QGraphicsScene retunes the depth internally. You can avoid potential slowdowns by fixating the tree depth through setting this property.

The depth of the tree and the size of the scene rectangle decide the granularity of the scene's partitioning. The size of each scene segment is determined by the following algorithm:

The BSP tree has an optimal size when each segment contains between 0 and 10 items.

See also
itemIndexMethod

Definition at line 306 of file qgraphicsscene.h.

◆ focusOnTouch

QGraphicsScene::focusOnTouch
readwrite

whether items gain focus when receiving a {touch begin} event.

Since
5.12

The usual behavior is to transfer focus only when an item is clicked. Often a tap on a touchpad is interpreted as equivalent to a mouse click by the operating system, generating a synthesized click event in response. However, at least on macOS you can configure this behavior.

By default, QGraphicsScene also transfers focus when you touch on a trackpad or similar. If the operating system is configured to not generate a synthetic mouse click on tapping the trackpad, this is surprising. If the operating system does generate synthetic mouse clicks on tapping the trackpad, the focus transfer on starting a touch gesture is unnecessary.

With focusOnTouch switched off, QGraphicsScene behaves as one would expect on macOS.

The default value is true, ensuring that the default behavior is just as in Qt versions prior to 5.12. Set to false to prevent touch events from triggering focus changes.

Definition at line 306 of file qgraphicsscene.h.

◆ font

QGraphicsScene::font
readwrite

the scene's default font

Since
4.4

This property provides the scene's font. The scene font defaults to, and resolves all its entries from, QApplication::font.

If the scene's font changes, either directly through setFont() or indirectly when the application font changes, QGraphicsScene first sends itself a \l{QEvent::FontChange}{FontChange} event, and it then sends \l{QEvent::FontChange}{FontChange} events to all top-level widget items in the scene. These items respond by resolving their own fonts to the scene, and they then notify their children, who again notify their children, and so on, until all widget items have updated their fonts.

Changing the scene font, (directly or indirectly through QApplication::setFont(),) automatically schedules a redraw the entire scene.

See also
QWidget::font, QApplication::setFont(), palette, style()

Definition at line 306 of file qgraphicsscene.h.

◆ foregroundBrush

QGraphicsScene::foregroundBrush
readwrite

the foreground brush of the scene.

Change this property to set the scene's foreground to a different color, gradient or texture.

The foreground is drawn after (on top of) the items. The default foreground brush is Qt::NoBrush ( i.e. the foreground is not drawn).

Example:

QGraphicsScene::render() calls drawForeground() to draw the scene foreground. For more detailed control over how the foreground is drawn, you can reimplement the drawForeground() function in a QGraphicsScene subclass.

Definition at line 306 of file qgraphicsscene.h.

◆ itemIndexMethod

QGraphicsScene::itemIndexMethod
readwrite

the item indexing method.

QGraphicsScene applies an indexing algorithm to the scene, to speed up item discovery functions like items() and itemAt(). Indexing is most efficient for static scenes (i.e., where items don't move around). For dynamic scenes, or scenes with many animated items, the index bookkeeping can outweigh the fast lookup speeds.

For the common case, the default index method BspTreeIndex works fine. If your scene uses many animations and you are experiencing slowness, you can disable indexing by calling setItemIndexMethod(NoIndex).

See also
bspTreeDepth

Definition at line 306 of file qgraphicsscene.h.

◆ minimumRenderSize

QGraphicsScene::minimumRenderSize
readwrite

the minimal view-transformed size an item must have to be drawn

Since
5.4

When the scene is rendered, any item whose width or height, transformed to the target view, is smaller that minimumRenderSize(), will not be rendered. If an item is not rendered and it clips its children items they will also not be rendered. Set this value to speed up rendering of scenes with many objects rendered on a zoomed out view.

The default value is 0. If unset, or if set to 0 or a negative value, all items will always be rendered.

For example, setting this property can be especially useful if a scene is rendered by multiple views, one of which serves as an overview which always displays all items. In scenes with many items, such a view will use a high scaling factor so that all items can be shown. Due to the scaling, smaller items will only make an insignificant contribution to the final rendered scene. To avoid drawing these items and reduce the time necessary to render the scene, you can call setMinimumRenderSize() with a non-negative value.

Note
Items that are not drawn as a result of being too small, are still returned by methods such as items() and itemAt(), and participate in collision detection and interactions. It is recommended that you set minimumRenderSize() to a value less than or equal to 1 in order to avoid large unrendered items that are interactive.

◆ palette

QGraphicsScene::palette
readwrite

the scene's default palette

Since
4.4

This property provides the scene's palette. The scene palette defaults to, and resolves all its entries from, QApplication::palette.

If the scene's palette changes, either directly through setPalette() or indirectly when the application palette changes, QGraphicsScene first sends itself a \l{QEvent::PaletteChange}{PaletteChange} event, and it then sends \l{QEvent::PaletteChange}{PaletteChange} events to all top-level widget items in the scene. These items respond by resolving their own palettes to the scene, and they then notify their children, who again notify their children, and so on, until all widget items have updated their palettes.

Changing the scene palette, (directly or indirectly through QApplication::setPalette(),) automatically schedules a redraw the entire scene.

See also
QWidget::palette, QApplication::setPalette(), font, style()

Definition at line 306 of file qgraphicsscene.h.

◆ sceneRect

QGraphicsScene::sceneRect
readwrite

the scene rectangle; the bounding rectangle of the scene

The scene rectangle defines the extent of the scene. It is primarily used by QGraphicsView to determine the view's default scrollable area, and by QGraphicsScene to manage item indexing.

If unset, or if set to a null QRectF, sceneRect() will return the largest bounding rect of all items on the scene since the scene was created (i.e., a rectangle that grows when items are added to or moved in the scene, but never shrinks).

See also
width(), height(), QGraphicsView::sceneRect

Definition at line 306 of file qgraphicsscene.h.

◆ stickyFocus

QGraphicsScene::stickyFocus
readwrite

whether clicking into the scene background will clear focus

Since
4.6

In a QGraphicsScene with stickyFocus set to true, focus will remain unchanged when the user clicks into the scene background or on an item that does not accept focus. Otherwise, focus will be cleared.

By default, this property is false.

Focus changes in response to a mouse press. You can reimplement mousePressEvent() in a subclass of QGraphicsScene to toggle this property based on where the user has clicked.

clearFocus(), setFocusItem()
