graphical
items in a <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a>.</p>
<p>It provides a light-weight foundation for writing your own
custom items. This includes defining the item's geometry, collision
detection, its painting implementation and item interaction through
its event handlers. QGraphicsItem is part of the <a href="graphicsview.html">Graphics View Framework</a></p>

<p>For convenience, Qt provides a set of standard graphics items
for the most common shapes. These are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="qgraphicsellipseitem.html">QGraphicsEllipseItem</a>
provides an ellipse item</li>
<li><a href="qgraphicslineitem.html">QGraphicsLineItem</a> provides
a line item</li>
<li><a href="qgraphicspathitem.html">QGraphicsPathItem</a> provides
an arbitrary path item</li>
<li><a href="qgraphicspixmapitem.html">QGraphicsPixmapItem</a>
provides a pixmap item</li>
<li><a href="qgraphicspolygonitem.html">QGraphicsPolygonItem</a>
provides a polygon item</li>
<li><a href="qgraphicsrectitem.html">QGraphicsRectItem</a> provides
a rectangular item</li>
<li><a href="qgraphicssimpletextitem.html">QGraphicsSimpleTextItem</a> provides
a simple text label item</li>
<li><a href="qgraphicstextitem.html">QGraphicsTextItem</a> provides
an advanced text browser item</li>
</ul>
<p>All of an item's geometric information is based on its local
coordinate system. The item's position, <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#pos">pos</a>(), is the only function that does
not operate in local coordinates, as it returns a position in
parent coordinates. <a href="graphicsview.html#the-graphics-view-coordinate-system">The
Graphics View Coordinate System</a> describes the coordinate system
in detail.</p>
<p>You can set whether an item should be visible (i.e., drawn, and
accepting events), by calling <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setVisible">setVisible</a>(). Hiding an item
will also hide its children. Similarly, you can enable or disable
an item by calling <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setEnabled">setEnabled</a>(). If you disable an
item, all its children will also be disabled. By default, items are
both visible and enabled. To toggle whether an item is selected or
not, first enable selection by setting the <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#GraphicsItemFlag-enum">ItemIsSelectable</a>
flag, and then call <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setSelected">setSelected</a>(). Normally,
selection is toggled by the scene, as a result of user
interaction.</p>
<p>To write your own graphics item, you first create a subclass of
QGraphicsItem, and then start by implementing its two pure virtual
public functions: <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>(), which returns
an estimate of the area painted by the item, and <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#paint">paint</a>(), which implements the actual
painting. For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="keyword">class</span> SimpleItem : <span class="keyword">public</span> <span class="type">QGraphicsItem</span>
{
<span class="keyword">public</span>:
<span class="type"><a href="qrectf.html">QRectF</a></span> boundingRect() <span class="keyword">const</span>
{
<span class="type"><a href="qtcore.html#qreal-typedef">qreal</a></span> penWidth <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">1</span>;
<span class="keyword">return</span> <span class="type"><a href="qrectf.html">QRectF</a></span>(<span class="operator">-</span><span class="number">10</span> <span class="operator">-</span> penWidth <span class="operator">/</span> <span class="number">2</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="operator">-</span><span class="number">10</span> <span class="operator">-</span> penWidth <span class="operator">/</span> <span class="number">2</span><span class="operator">,</span>
<span class="number">20</span> <span class="operator">+</span> penWidth<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">20</span> <span class="operator">+</span> penWidth);
}
<span class="type">void</span> paint(<span class="type"><a href="qpainter.html">QPainter</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>painter<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="type"><a href="qstyleoptiongraphicsitem.html">QStyleOptionGraphicsItem</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>option<span class="operator">,</span>
<span class="type"><a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>widget)
{
painter<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>drawRoundedRect(<span class="operator">-</span><span class="number">10</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="operator">-</span><span class="number">10</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">20</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">20</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">5</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">5</span>);
}
};
</pre>
<p>The <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>()
function has many different purposes. <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a> bases its item index on
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>(), and
<a href="qgraphicsview.html">QGraphicsView</a> uses it both for
culling invisible items, and for determining the area that needs to
be recomposed when drawing overlapping items. In addition,
QGraphicsItem's collision detection mechanisms use <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>() to provide an
efficient cut-off. The fine grained collision algorithm in <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#collidesWithItem">collidesWithItem</a>() is
based on calling <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#shape">shape</a>(),
which returns an accurate outline of the item's shape as a <a href="qpainterpath.html">QPainterPath</a>.</p>
<p><a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a> expects all
items <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>()
and <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#shape">shape</a>() to remain
unchanged unless it is notified. If you want to change an item's
geometry in any way, you must first call <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#prepareGeometryChange">prepareGeometryChange</a>()
to allow <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a> to update
its bookkeeping.</p>
<p>Collision detection can be done in two ways:</p>
<ol class="1">
<li>Reimplement <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#shape">shape</a>() to
return an accurate shape for your item, and rely on the default
implementation of <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#collidesWithItem">collidesWithItem</a>() to do
shape-shape intersection. This can be rather expensive if the
shapes are complex.</li>
<li>Reimplement <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#collidesWithItem">collidesWithItem</a>() to
provide your own custom item and shape collision algorithm.</li>
</ol>
<p>The <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#contains">contains</a>()
function can be called to determine whether the item
<i>contains</i> a point or not. This function can also be
reimplemented by the item. The default behavior of <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#contains">contains</a>() is based on calling
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#shape">shape</a>().</p>
<p>Items can contain other items, and also be contained by other
items. All items can have a parent item and a list of children.
Unless the item has no parent, its position is in <i>parent</i>
coordinates (i.e., the parent's local coordinates). Parent items
propagate both their position and their transformation to all
children.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img alt="" src="images/graphicsview-parentchild.png" /></p>
<a id="transformations" name="transformations" /><a id="transformations" name="transformations" />
<h3>Transformations</h3>
<p>QGraphicsItem supports projective transformations in addition to
its base position, <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#pos">pos</a>().
There are several ways to change an item's transformation. For
simple transformations, you can call either of the convenience
functions <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setRotation">setRotation</a>() or <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setScale">setScale</a>(), or you can pass any
transformation matrix to <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setTransform">setTransform</a>(). For advanced
transformation control you also have the option of setting several
combined transformations by calling <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setTransformations">setTransformations</a>().</p>
<p>Item transformations accumulate from parent to child, so if both
a parent and child item are rotated 90 degrees, the child's total
transformation will be 180 degrees. Similarly, if the item's parent
is scaled to 2x its original size, its children will also be twice
as large. An item's transformation does not affect its own local
geometry; all geometry functions (e.g., <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#contains">contains</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#update">update</a>(), and all the mapping
functions) still operate in local coordinates. For convenience,
QGraphicsItem provides the functions <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#sceneTransform">sceneTransform</a>(), which
returns the item's total transformation matrix (including its
position and all parents' positions and transformations), and
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#scenePos">scenePos</a>(), which returns
its position in scene coordinates. To reset an item's matrix, call
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#resetTransform">resetTransform</a>().</p>
<p>Certain transformation operations produce a different outcome
depending on the order in which they are applied. For example, if
you scale an transform, and then rotate it, you may get a different
result than if the transform was rotated first. However, the order
you set the transformation properties on QGraphicsItem does not
affect the resulting transformation; QGraphicsItem always applies
the properties in a fixed, defined order:</p>
<ul>
<li>The item's base transform is applied (<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#transform">transform</a>())</li>
<li>The item's transformations list is applied in order (<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#transformations">transformations</a>())</li>
<li>The item is rotated relative to its transform origin point
(<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#rotation">rotation</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#transformOriginPoint">transformOriginPoint</a>())</li>
<li>The item is scaled relative to its transform origin point
(<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#scale">scale</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#transformOriginPoint">transformOriginPoint</a>())</li>
</ul>
<a id="painting" name="painting" />
<h3>Painting</h3>
<p>The <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#paint">paint</a>() function is
called by <a href="qgraphicsview.html">QGraphicsView</a> to paint
the item's contents. The item has no background or default fill of
its own; whatever is behind the item will shine through all areas
that are not explicitly painted in this function. You can call
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#update">update</a>() to schedule a
repaint, optionally passing the rectangle that needs a repaint.
Depending on whether or not the item is visible in a view, the item
may or may not be repainted; there is no equivalent to <a href="qwidget.html#repaint">QWidget.repaint</a>() in QGraphicsItem.</p>
<p>Items are painted by the view, starting with the parent items
and then drawing children, in ascending stacking order. You can set
an item's stacking order by calling <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setZValue">setZValue</a>(), and test it by
calling <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#zValue">zValue</a>(), where
items with low z-values are painted before items with high
z-values. Stacking order applies to sibling items; parents are
always drawn before their children.</p>
<a id="sorting" name="sorting" />
<h3>Sorting</h3>
<p>All items are drawn in a defined, stable order, and this same
order decides which items will receive mouse input first when you
click on the scene. Normally you don't have to worry about sorting,
as the items follow a "natural order", following the logical
structure of the scene.</p>
<p>An item's children are stacked on top of the parent, and sibling
items are stacked by insertion order (i.e., in the same order that
they were either added to the scene, or added to the same parent).
If you add item A, and then B, then B will be on top of A. If you
then add C, the items' stacking order will be A, then B, then
C.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img alt="" src="images/graphicsview-zorder.png" /></p>
<p>This example shows the stacking order of all limbs of the robot
from the <a href="graphicsview-dragdroprobot.html">Drag and Drop
Robot</a> example. The torso is the root item (all other items are
children or descendants of the torso), so it is drawn first. Next,
the head is drawn, as it is the first item in the torso's list of
children. Then the upper left arm is drawn. As the lower arm is a
child of the upper arm, the lower arm is then drawn, followed by
the upper arm's next sibling, which is the upper right arm, and so
on.</p>
<p>For advanced users, there are ways to alter how your items are
sorted:</p>
<ul>
<li>You can call <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setZValue">setZValue</a>() on an item to
explicitly stack it on top of, or under, other sibling items. The
default Z value for an item is 0. Items with the same Z value are
stacked by insertion order.</li>
<li>You can call <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#stackBefore">stackBefore</a>() to reorder the
list of children. This will directly modify the insertion
order.</li>
<li>You can set the <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#GraphicsItemFlag-enum">ItemStacksBehindParent</a>
flag to stack a child item behind its parent.</li>
</ul>
<p>The stacking order of two sibling items also counts for each
item's children and descendant items. So if one item is on top of
another, then all its children will also be on top of all the other
item's children as well.</p>
<a id="events" name="events" />
<h3>Events</h3>
<p>QGraphicsItem receives events from <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a> through the virtual
function <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#sceneEvent">sceneEvent</a>().
This function distributes the most common events to a set of
convenience event handlers:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="qgraphicsitem.html#contextMenuEvent">contextMenuEvent</a>()
handles context menu events</li>
<li><a href="qgraphicsitem.html#focusInEvent">focusInEvent</a>()
and <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#focusOutEvent">focusOutEvent</a>()
handle focus in and out events</li>
<li><a href="qgraphicsitem.html#hoverEnterEvent">hoverEnterEvent</a>(),
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#hoverMoveEvent">hoverMoveEvent</a>(),
and <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#hoverLeaveEvent">hoverLeaveEvent</a>() handles
hover enter, move and leave events</li>
<li><a href="qgraphicsitem.html#inputMethodEvent">inputMethodEvent</a>()
handles input events, for accessibility support</li>
<li><a href="qgraphicsitem.html#keyPressEvent">keyPressEvent</a>()
and <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#keyReleaseEvent">keyReleaseEvent</a>() handle
key press and release events</li>
<li><a href="qgraphicsitem.html#mousePressEvent">mousePressEvent</a>(),
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#mouseMoveEvent">mouseMoveEvent</a>(),
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#mouseReleaseEvent">mouseReleaseEvent</a>(), and
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#mouseDoubleClickEvent">mouseDoubleClickEvent</a>()
handles mouse press, move, release, click and doubleclick
events</li>
</ul>
<p>You can filter events for any other item by installing event
filters. This functionality is separate from Qt's regular event
filters (see <a href="qobject.html#installEventFilter">QObject.installEventFilter</a>()),
which only work on subclasses of <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a>. After installing your item as an event
filter for another item by calling <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#installSceneEventFilter">installSceneEventFilter</a>(),
the filtered events will be received by the virtual function
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#sceneEventFilter">sceneEventFilter</a>(). You
can remove item event filters by calling <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#removeSceneEventFilter">removeSceneEventFilter</a>().</p>
<a id="custom-data" name="custom-data" />
<h3>Custom Data</h3>
<p>Sometimes it's useful to register custom data with an item, be
it a custom item, or a standard item. You can call <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setData">setData</a>() on any item to store
data in it using a key-value pair (the key being an integer, and
the value is a <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a>). To get custom
data from an item, call <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#data">data</a>(). This functionality is
completely untouched by Qt itself; it is provided for the user's
convenience.</p>
<hr /><h2>Type Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="CacheMode-enum" />QGraphicsItem.CacheMode</h3><p>This enum describes <a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a>'s cache modes. Caching is
used to speed up rendering by allocating and rendering to an
off-screen pixel buffer, which can be reused when the item requires
redrawing. For some paint devices, the cache is stored directly in
graphics memory, which makes rendering very quick.</p>

Rendering quality will typically degrade, depending on the
resolution of the cache and the item transformation. The first time
the item is redrawn, it will render itself into the cache, and the

<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#itemChange">itemChange</a>() on an
ItemPositionChange notification, as the <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setPos">setPos</a>() function will again call
itemChange(ItemPositionChange). Instead, you can return the new,

<h3 class="fn"><a name="boundingRect" /><a href="qrectf.html">QRectF</a> QGraphicsItem.boundingRect (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>This method is abstract and should be reimplemented in any sub-class.</p><p>This pure virtual function defines the outer bounds of the item
as a rectangle; all painting must be restricted to inside an item's
bounding rect. <a href="qgraphicsview.html">QGraphicsView</a> uses
this to determine whether the item requires redrawing.</p>
<p>Although the item's shape can be arbitrary, the bounding rect is
always rectangular, and it is unaffected by the items'
transformation.</p>
<p>If you want to change the item's bounding rectangle, you must
first call <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#prepareGeometryChange">prepareGeometryChange</a>().
This notifies the scene of the imminent change, so that its can
update its item geometry index; otherwise, the scene will be
unaware of the item's new geometry, and the results are undefined
(typically, rendering artifacts are left around in the view).</p>
<p>Reimplement this function to let <a href="qgraphicsview.html">QGraphicsView</a> determine what parts of the
widget, if any, need to be redrawn.</p>
<p>Note: For shapes that paint an outline / stroke, it is important
to include half the pen width in the bounding rect. It is not
necessary to compensate for antialiasing, though.</p>

of the returned region depends on <i>itemToDeviceTransform</i>. If
you pass an identity <a href="qtransform.html">QTransform</a> as a
parameter, this function will return a local coordinate region.</p>
<p>The bounding region describes a coarse outline of the item's
visual contents. Although it's expensive to calculate, it's also
more precise than <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>(), and it can
help to avoid unnecessary repainting when an item is updated. This
is particularly efficient for thin items (e.g., lines or simple
polygons). You can tune the granularity for the bounding region by
calling <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setBoundingRegionGranularity">setBoundingRegionGranularity</a>().
The default granularity is 0; in which the item's bounding region
is the same as its bounding rect.</p>
<p><i>itemToDeviceTransform</i> is the transformation from item
coordinates to device coordinates. If you want this function to

empty <a href="qrectf.html">QRectF</a>.</p>
<p>This does not include this item's own bounding rect; it only
returns its descendants' accumulated bounding rect. If you need to
include this item's bounding rect, you can add <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>() to

this item to tell it that it is about to lose the focus.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="clipPath" /><a href="qpainterpath.html">QPainterPath</a> QGraphicsItem.clipPath (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns this item's clip path, or an empty <a href="qpainterpath.html">QPainterPath</a> if this item is not clipped.
The clip path constrains the item's appearance and interaction
(i.e., restricts the area the item can draw, and it also restricts
the area that the item receives events).</p>
<p>You can enable clipping by setting the <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#GraphicsItemFlag-enum">ItemClipsToShape</a> or
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#GraphicsItemFlag-enum">ItemClipsChildrenToShape</a>
flags. The item's clip path is calculated by intersecting all
clipping ancestors' shapes. If the item sets <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#GraphicsItemFlag-enum">ItemClipsToShape</a>,
the final clip is intersected with the item's own shape.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> Clipping introduces a performance penalty for all
items involved; you should generally avoid using clipping if you
can (e.g., if your items always draw inside <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>() or <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#shape">shape</a>() boundaries, clipping is not
necessary).</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="collidesWithItem" />bool QGraphicsItem.collidesWithItem (<i>self</i>, <a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a> <i>other</i>, <a href="qt.html#ItemSelectionMode-enum">Qt.ItemSelectionMode</a> <i>mode</i> = Qt.IntersectsItemShape)</h3><p>Returns true if this item collides with <i>other</i>; otherwise
returns false.</p>
<p>The <i>mode</i> is applied to <i>other</i>, and the resulting
shape or bounding rectangle is then compared to this item's shape.
The default value for <i>mode</i> is <a href="qt.html#ItemSelectionMode-enum">Qt.IntersectsItemShape</a>;
<i>other</i> collides with this item if it either intersects,
contains, or is contained by this item's shape (see <a href="qt.html#ItemSelectionMode-enum">Qt.ItemSelectionMode</a> for
details).</p>
<p>The default implementation is based on shape intersection, and
it calls <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#shape">shape</a>() on both
items. Because the complexity of arbitrary shape-shape intersection
grows with an order of magnitude when the shapes are complex, this
operation can be noticably time consuming. You have the option of
reimplementing this function in a subclass of <a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a> to provide a custom
algorithm. This allows you to make use of natural constraints in
the shapes of your own items, in order to improve the performance
of the collision detection. For instance, two untransformed
perfectly circular items' collision can be determined very
efficiently by comparing their positions and radii.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that when reimplementing this function and calling
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#shape">shape</a>() or <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>() on
<i>other</i>, the returned coordinates must be mapped to this
item's coordinate system before any intersection can take

<p>The collision is determined by <i>mode</i>. The default value
for <i>mode</i> is <a href="qt.html#ItemSelectionMode-enum">Qt.IntersectsItemShape</a>;
<i>path</i> collides with this item if it either intersects,
contains, or is contained by this item's shape.</p>
<p>Note that this function checks whether the item's shape or
bounding rectangle (depending on <i>mode</i>) is contained within
<i>path</i>, and not whether <i>path</i> is contained within the
items shape or bounding rectangle.</p>

<p>The way collisions are detected is determined by applying
<i>mode</i> to items that are compared to this item, i.e., each

implementation of this function should be as light-weight as
possible.</p>

context menu events. The <i>event</i> parameter contains details
about the event to be handled.</p>
<p>If you ignore the event, (i.e., by calling <a href="qevent.html#ignore">QEvent.ignore</a>(),) <i>event</i> will
propagate to any item beneath this item. If no items accept the
event, it will be ignored by the scene, and propagate to the

to receive mouse press events for this item. Mouse press events are
only delivered to items that accept the mouse button that is
pressed. By default, an item accepts all mouse buttons, but you can
change this by calling <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setAcceptedMouseButtons">setAcceptedMouseButtons</a>().</p>
<p>The mouse press event decides which item should become the mouse
grabber (see <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#mouseGrabberItem">QGraphicsScene.mouseGrabberItem</a>()).
If you do not reimplement this function, the press event will
propagate to any topmost item beneath this item, and no other mouse
events will be delivered to this item.</p>
<p>If you do reimplement this function, <i>event</i> will by
default be accepted (see <a href="qevent.html#accept">QEvent.accept</a>()), and this item is then
the mouse grabber. This allows the item to receive future move,
release and doubleclick events. If you call <a href="qevent.html#ignore">QEvent.ignore</a>() on <i>event</i>, this
item will lose the mouse grab, and <i>event</i> will propagate to
any topmost item beneath. No further mouse events will be delivered

<h3 class="fn"><a name="opacity" />float QGraphicsItem.opacity (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns this item's local opacity, which is between 0.0
(transparent) and 1.0 (opaque). This value is combined with parent
and ancestor values into the <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#effectiveOpacity">effectiveOpacity</a>(). The
effective opacity decides how the item is rendered.</p>
<p>The opacity property decides the state of the painter passed to

<p>Reimplementing this function in a subclass makes it possible for
the item to be used as an event filter for other items,
intercepting all the events send to those items before they are

<p>Unlike <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#transform">transform</a>(),

<h3 class="fn"><a name="scroll" />QGraphicsItem.scroll (<i>self</i>, float <i>dx</i>, float <i>dy</i>, <a href="qrectf.html">QRectF</a> <i>rect</i> = QRectF())</h3><p>Scrolls the contents of <i>rect</i> by <i>dx</i>, <i>dy</i>. If
<i>rect</i> is a null rect (the default), the item's bounding rect
is scrolled.</p>
<p>Scrolling provides a fast alternative to simply redrawing when
the contents of the item (or parts of the item) are shifted
vertically or horizontally. Depending on the current transformation
and the capabilities of the paint device (i.e., the viewport), this
operation may consist of simply moving pixels from one location to
another using memmove(). In most cases this is faster than
rerendering the entire area.</p>
<p>After scrolling, the item will issue an update for the newly
exposed areas. If scrolling is not supported (e.g., you are
rendering to an OpenGL viewport, which does not benefit from scroll
optimizations), this function is equivalent to calling
update(<i>rect</i>).</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> Scrolling is only supported when <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#CacheMode-enum">QGraphicsItem.ItemCoordinateCache</a>
is enabled; in all other cases calling this function is equivalent
to calling update(<i>rect</i>). If you for sure know that the item
is opaque and not overlapped by other items, you can map the
<i>rect</i> to viewport coordinates and scroll the viewport.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setAcceptDrops" />QGraphicsItem.setAcceptDrops (<i>self</i>, bool <i>on</i>)</h3><p>If <i>on</i> is true, this item will accept drag and drop
events; otherwise, it is transparent for drag and drop events. By

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setAcceptedMouseButtons" />QGraphicsItem.setAcceptedMouseButtons (<i>self</i>, <a href="qt-mousebuttons.html">Qt.MouseButtons</a> <i>buttons</i>)</h3><p>Sets the mouse <i>buttons</i> that this item accepts mouse
events for.</p>
<p>By default, all mouse buttons are accepted. If an item accepts a
mouse button, it will become the mouse grabber item when a mouse
press event is delivered for that button. However, if the item does
not accept the mouse button, <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a> will forward the mouse
events to the first item beneath it that does.</p>
<p>To disable mouse events for an item (i.e., make it transparent

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setAcceptHoverEvents" />QGraphicsItem.setAcceptHoverEvents (<i>self</i>, bool <i>enabled</i>)</h3><p>If <i>enabled</i> is true, this item will accept hover events;
otherwise, it will ignore them. By default, items do not accept
hover events.</p>
<p>Hover events are delivered when there is no current mouse
grabber item. They are sent when the mouse cursor enters an item,
when it moves around inside the item, and when the cursor leaves an
item. Hover events are commonly used to highlight an item when it's
entered, and for tracking the mouse cursor as it hovers over the
item (equivalent to <a href="qwidget.html#mouseTracking-prop">QWidget.mouseTracking</a>).</p>
<p>Parent items receive hover enter events before their children,
and leave events after their children. The parent does not receive
a hover leave event if the cursor enters a child, though; the
parent stays "hovered" until the cursor leaves its area, including
its children's areas.</p>
<p>If a parent item handles child events, it will receive hover
move, drag move, and drop events as the cursor passes through its
children, but it does not receive hover enter and hover leave, nor
drag enter and drag leave events on behalf of its children.</p>
<p>A <a href="qgraphicswidget.html">QGraphicsWidget</a> with window
decorations will accept hover events regardless of the value of

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setActive" />QGraphicsItem.setActive (<i>self</i>, bool <i>active</i>)</h3><p>If <i>active</i> is true, and the scene is active, this item's
panel will be activated. Otherwise, the panel is deactivated.</p>
<p>If the item is not part of an active scene, <i>active</i> will
decide what happens to the panel when the scene becomes active or
the item is added to the scene. If true, the item's panel will be
activated when the item is either added to the scene or the scene
is activated. Otherwise, the item will stay inactive independent of
the scene's activated state.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setBoundingRegionGranularity" />QGraphicsItem.setBoundingRegionGranularity (<i>self</i>, float <i>granularity</i>)</h3><p>Sets the bounding region granularity to <i>granularity</i>; a
value between and including 0 and 1. The default value is 0 (i.e.,
the lowest granularity, where the bounding region corresponds to
the item's bounding rectangle).</p>
<p>The granularity is used by <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#boundingRegion">boundingRegion</a>() to
calculate how fine the bounding region of the item should be. The
highest achievable granularity is 1, where <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#boundingRegion">boundingRegion</a>() will
return the finest outline possible for the respective device (e.g.,
for a <a href="qgraphicsview.html">QGraphicsView</a> viewport, this
gives you a pixel-perfect bounding region). The lowest possible
granularity is 0. The value of <i>granularity</i> describes the
ratio between device resolution and the resolution of the bounding
region (e.g., a value of 0.25 will provide a region where each
chunk corresponds to 4x4 device units / pixels).</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.</p>

<p>The optional <i>logicalCacheSize</i> argument is used only by
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#CacheMode-enum">ItemCoordinateCache</a>
mode, and describes the resolution of the cache buffer; if
<i>logicalCacheSize</i> is (100, 100), <a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a> will fit the item into
100x100 pixels in graphics memory, regardless of the logical size
of the item itself. By default <a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a> uses the size of <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>(). For all other
cache modes than <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#CacheMode-enum">ItemCoordinateCache</a>,
<i>logicalCacheSize</i> is ignored.</p>
<p>Caching can speed up rendering if your item spends a significant
time redrawing itself. In some cases the cache can also slow down
rendering, in particular when the item spends less time redrawing
than <a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a> spends
redrawing from the cache. When enabled, the item's <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#paint">paint</a>() function will be called only
once for each call to <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#update">update</a>(); for any subsequent
repaint requests, the Graphics View framework will redraw from the
cache. This approach works particularly well with <a href="qglwidget.html">QGLWidget</a>, which stores all the cache as
OpenGL textures.</p>
<p>Be aware that <a href="qpixmapcache.html">QPixmapCache</a>'s
cache limit may need to be changed to obtain optimal
performance.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setCursor" />QGraphicsItem.setCursor (<i>self</i>, <a href="qcursor.html">QCursor</a> <i>cursor</i>)</h3><p>Sets the current cursor shape for the item to <i>cursor</i>. The
mouse cursor will assume this shape when it's over this item. See
the <a href="qt.html#CursorShape-enum">list of predefined cursor
objects</a> for a range of useful shapes.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setData" />QGraphicsItem.setData (<i>self</i>, int <i>key</i>, QVariant <i>value</i>)</h3><p>Sets this item's custom data for the key <i>key</i> to

<p>Custom item data is useful for storing arbitrary properties for
any item. Qt does not use this feature for storing data; it is
provided solely for the convenience of the user.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#data">data</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setEnabled" />QGraphicsItem.setEnabled (<i>self</i>, bool <i>enabled</i>)</h3><p>If <i>enabled</i> is true, the item is enabled; otherwise, it is
disabled.</p>
<p>Disabled items are visible, but they do not receive any events,
and cannot take focus nor be selected. Mouse events are discarded;
they are not propagated unless the item is also invisible, or if it
does not accept mouse events (see <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#acceptedMouseButtons">acceptedMouseButtons</a>()).
A disabled item cannot become the mouse grabber, and as a result of
this, an item loses the grab if it becomes disabled when grabbing
the mouse, just like it loses focus if it had focus when it was
disabled.</p>
<p>Disabled items are traditionally drawn using grayed-out colors
(see <a href="qpalette.html#ColorGroup-enum">QPalette.Disabled</a>).</p>
<p>If you disable a parent item, all its children will also be
disabled. If you enable a parent item, all children will be
enabled, unless they have been explicitly disabled (i.e., if you
call setEnabled(false) on a child, it will not be reenabled if its
parent is disabled, and then enabled again).</p>
<p>Items are enabled by default.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> If you install an event filter, you can still
intercept events before they are delivered to items; this mechanism
disregards the item's enabled state.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#isEnabled">isEnabled</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setFiltersChildEvents" />QGraphicsItem.setFiltersChildEvents (<i>self</i>, bool <i>enabled</i>)</h3><p>If <i>enabled</i> is true, this item is set to filter all events
for all its children (i.e., all events intented for any of its
children are instead sent to this item); otherwise, if
<i>enabled</i> is false, this item will only handle its own events.
The default value is false.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setFlag" />QGraphicsItem.setFlag (<i>self</i>, <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#GraphicsItemFlag-enum">GraphicsItemFlag</a> <i>flag</i>, bool <i>enabled</i> = True)</h3><p>If <i>enabled</i> is true, the item flag <i>flag</i> is enabled;

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setFlags" />QGraphicsItem.setFlags (<i>self</i>, <a href="qgraphicsitem-graphicsitemflags.html">GraphicsItemFlags</a> <i>flags</i>)</h3><p>Sets the item flags to <i>flags</i>. All flags in <i>flags</i>
are enabled; all flags not in <i>flags</i> are disabled.</p>
<p>If the item had focus and <i>flags</i> does not enable <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#GraphicsItemFlag-enum">ItemIsFocusable</a>, the
item loses focus as a result of calling this function. Similarly,
if the item was selected, and <i>flags</i> does not enabled
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#GraphicsItemFlag-enum">ItemIsSelectable</a>,
the item is automatically unselected.</p>
<p>By default, no flags are enabled. (<a href="qgraphicswidget.html">QGraphicsWidget</a> enables the <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#GraphicsItemFlag-enum">ItemSendsGeometryChanges</a>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setFocus" />QGraphicsItem.setFocus (<i>self</i>, <a href="qt.html#FocusReason-enum">Qt.FocusReason</a> <i>focusReason</i> = Qt.OtherFocusReason)</h3><p>Gives keyboard input focus to this item. The <i>focusReason</i>
argument will be passed into any <a href="qfocusevent.html">focus
event</a> generated by this function; it is used to give an
explanation of what caused the item to get focus.</p>
<p>Only enabled items that set the <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#GraphicsItemFlag-enum">ItemIsFocusable</a> flag
can accept keyboard focus.</p>
<p>If this item is not visible, not active, or not associated with
a scene, it will not gain immediate input focus. However, it will
be registered as the preferred focus item for its subtree of items,
should it later become visible.</p>
<p>As a result of calling this function, this item will receive a
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#focusInEvent">focus in event</a> with
<i>focusReason</i>. If another item already has focus, that item
will first receive a <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#focusOutEvent">focus out event</a> indicating

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setFocusProxy" />QGraphicsItem.setFocusProxy (<i>self</i>, <a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a> <i>item</i>)</h3><p>Sets the item's focus proxy to <i>item</i>.</p>
<p>If an item has a focus proxy, the focus proxy will receive input
focus when the item gains input focus. The item itself will still
have focus (i.e., <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#hasFocus">hasFocus</a>() will return true), but
only the focus proxy will receive the keyboard input.</p>
<p>A focus proxy can itself have a focus proxy, and so on. In such
case, keyboard input will be handled by the outermost focus
proxy.</p>
<p>The focus proxy <i>item</i> must belong to the same scene as
this item.</p>

and 1.0 (opaque). The item's local opacity is combined with parent
and ancestor opacities into the <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#effectiveOpacity">effectiveOpacity</a>().</p>
<p>By default, opacity propagates from parent to child, so if a
parent's opacity is 0.5 and the child is also 0.5, the child's
effective opacity will be 0.25.</p>
<p>The opacity property decides the state of the painter passed to
the <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#paint">paint</a>() function. If the
item is cached, i.e., <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#CacheMode-enum">ItemCoordinateCache</a> or
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#CacheMode-enum">DeviceCoordinateCache</a>, the
effective property will be applied to the item's cache as it is

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setParentItem" />QGraphicsItem.setParentItem (<i>self</i>, <a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a> <i>parent</i>)</h3><p>The <i>parent</i> argument, if not None, causes <i>self</i> to be owned by Qt instead of PyQt.</p><p>Sets this item's parent item to <i>newParent</i>. If this item
already has a parent, it is first removed from the previous parent.
If <i>newParent</i> is 0, this item will become a top-level

<p>Note that this implicitly adds this graphics item to the scene

coordinates.</p>
<p>The position of the item describes its origin (local coordinate
(0, 0)) in parent coordinates.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setPos-2" />QGraphicsItem.setPos (<i>self</i>, float <i>ax</i>, float <i>ay</i>)</h3><p>This is an overloaded function.</p>
<p>This convenience function is equivalent to calling
setPos(<a href="qpointf.html">QPointF</a>(<i>x</i>, <i>y</i>)).</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setRotation" />QGraphicsItem.setRotation (<i>self</i>, float <i>angle</i>)</h3><p>Sets the clockwise rotation <i>angle</i>, in degrees, around the
Z axis. The default value is 0 (i.e., the item is not rotated).
Assigning a negative value will rotate the item counter-clockwise.
Normally the rotation angle is in the range (-360, 360), but it's
also possible to assign values outside of this range (e.g., a
rotation of 370 degrees is the same as a rotation of 10
degrees).</p>
<p>The item is rotated around its transform origin point, which by
default is (0, 0). You can select a different transformation origin
by calling <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setTransformOriginPoint">setTransformOriginPoint</a>().</p>
<p>The rotation is combined with the item's <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#scale">scale</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#transform">transform</a>() and <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#transformations">transformations</a>() to map

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setScale" />QGraphicsItem.setScale (<i>self</i>, float <i>scale</i>)</h3><p>Sets the scale <i>factor</i> of the item. The default scale
factor is 1.0 (i.e., the item is not scaled). A scale factor of 0.0
will collapse the item to a single point. If you provide a negative
scale factor, the item will be flipped and mirrored (i.e., rotated
180 degrees).</p>
<p>The item is scaled around its transform origin point, which by
default is (0, 0). You can select a different transformation origin
by calling <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setTransformOriginPoint">setTransformOriginPoint</a>().</p>
<p>The scale is combined with the item's <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#rotation">rotation</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#transform">transform</a>() and <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#transformations">transformations</a>() to map

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setSelected" />QGraphicsItem.setSelected (<i>self</i>, bool <i>selected</i>)</h3><p>If <i>selected</i> is true and this item is selectable, this
item is selected; otherwise, it is unselected.</p>
<p>If the item is in a group, the whole group's selected state is
toggled by this function. If the group is selected, all items in
the group are also selected, and if the group is not selected, no
item in the group is selected.</p>
<p>Only visible, enabled, selectable items can be selected. If
<i>selected</i> is true and this item is either invisible or
disabled or unselectable, this function does nothing.</p>
<p>By default, items cannot be selected. To enable selection, set
the <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#GraphicsItemFlag-enum">ItemIsSelectable</a>
flag.</p>
<p>This function is provided for convenience, allowing individual
toggling of the selected state of an item. However, a more common
way of selecting items is to call <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#setSelectionArea">QGraphicsScene.setSelectionArea</a>(),
which will call this function for all visible, enabled, and
selectable items within a specified area on the scene.</p>

<p>If <i>combine</i> is true, then <i>matrix</i> is combined with
the current matrix; otherwise, <i>matrix</i> <i>replaces</i> the
current matrix. <i>combine</i> is false by default.</p>
<p>To simplify interation with items using a transformed view,
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a> provides mapTo...
and mapFrom... functions that can translate between items' and the
scene's coordinates. For example, you can call <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#mapToScene">mapToScene</a>() to map an item
coordiate to a scene coordinate, or <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#mapFromScene">mapFromScene</a>() to map from
scene coordinates to item coordinates.</p>
<p>The transformation matrix is combined with the item's <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#rotation">rotation</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#scale">scale</a>() and <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#transformations">transformations</a>() into a
combined transformation that maps the item's coordinate system to

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setTransformations" />QGraphicsItem.setTransformations (<i>self</i>, list-of-QGraphicsTransform <i>transformations</i>)</h3><p>Sets a list of graphics <i>transformations</i> (<a href="qgraphicstransform.html">QGraphicsTransform</a>) that currently
apply to this item.</p>
<p>If all you want is to rotate or scale an item, you should call
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setRotation">setRotation</a>() or
<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setScale">setScale</a>() instead. If
you want to set an arbitrary transformation on an item, you can
call <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setTransform">setTransform</a>().</p>
<p><a href="qgraphicstransform.html">QGraphicsTransform</a> is for
applying and controlling a chain of individual transformation
operations on an item. It's particularly useful in animations,
where each transform operation needs to be interpolated
independently, or differently.</p>
<p>The transformations are combined with the item's <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#rotation">rotation</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#scale">scale</a>() and <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#transform">transform</a>() to map the item's

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setTransformOriginPoint-2" />QGraphicsItem.setTransformOriginPoint (<i>self</i>, float <i>ax</i>, float <i>ay</i>)</h3><p>This is an overloaded function.</p>
<p>Sets the origin point for the transformation in item
coordinates. This is equivalent to calling
setTransformOriginPoint(<a href="qpointf.html">QPointF</a>(<i>x</i>, <i>y</i>)).</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.6.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setVisible" />QGraphicsItem.setVisible (<i>self</i>, bool <i>visible</i>)</h3><p>If <i>visible</i> is true, the item is made visible. Otherwise,
the item is made invisible. Invisible items are not painted, nor do
they receive any events. In particular, mouse events pass right
through invisible items, and are delivered to any item that may be
behind. Invisible items are also unselectable, they cannot take
input focus, and are not detected by <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a>'s item location
functions.</p>
<p>If an item becomes invisible while grabbing the mouse, (i.e.,
while it is receiving mouse events,) it will automatically lose the
mouse grab, and the grab is not regained by making the item visible
again; it must receive a new mouse press to regain the mouse
grab.</p>
<p>Similarly, an invisible item cannot have focus, so if the item
has focus when it becomes invisible, it will lose focus, and the
focus is not regained by simply making the item visible again.</p>
<p>If you hide a parent item, all its children will also be hidden.
If you show a parent item, all children will be shown, unless they
have been explicitly hidden (i.e., if you call setVisible(false) on
a child, it will not be reshown even if its parent is hidden, and
then shown again).</p>
<p>Items are visible by default; it is unnecessary to call
setVisible() on a new item.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="setZValue" />QGraphicsItem.setZValue (<i>self</i>, float <i>z</i>)</h3><p>Sets the Z-value of the item to <i>z</i>. The Z value decides
the stacking order of sibling (neighboring) items. A sibling item
of high Z value will always be drawn on top of another sibling item
with a lower Z value.</p>
<p>If you restore the Z value, the item's insertion order will
decide its stacking order.</p>
<p>The Z-value does not affect the item's size in any way.</p>
<p>The default Z-value is 0.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#zValue">zValue</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#sorting">Sorting</a>, <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#stackBefore">stackBefore</a>(), and <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#GraphicsItemFlag-enum">ItemStacksBehindParent</a>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="shape" /><a href="qpainterpath.html">QPainterPath</a> QGraphicsItem.shape (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the shape of this item as a <a href="qpainterpath.html">QPainterPath</a> in local coordinates. The
shape is used for many things, including collision detection, hit
tests, and for the <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#items">QGraphicsScene.items</a>()
functions.</p>
<p>The default implementation calls <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>() to return a
simple rectangular shape, but subclasses can reimplement this
function to return a more accurate shape for non-rectangular items.
For example, a round item may choose to return an elliptic shape
for better collision detection. For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type"><a href="qpainterpath.html">QPainterPath</a></span> RoundItem<span class="operator">.</span>shape() <span class="keyword">const</span>
{

path<span class="operator">.</span>addEllipse(boundingRect());
<span class="keyword">return</span> path;
}
</pre>
<p>The outline of a shape can vary depending on the width and style
of the pen used when drawing. If you want to include this outline
in the item's shape, you can create a shape from the stroke using
<a href="qpainterpathstroker.html">QPainterPathStroker</a>.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="stackBefore" />QGraphicsItem.stackBefore (<i>self</i>, <a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a> <i>sibling</i>)</h3><p>Stacks this item before <i>sibling</i>, which must be a sibling
item (i.e., the two items must share the same parent item, or must
both be toplevel items). The <i>sibling</i> must have the same Z
value as this item, otherwise calling this function will have no
effect.</p>
<p>By default, all sibling items are stacked by insertion order
(i.e., the first item you add is drawn before the next item you
add). If two items' Z values are different, then the item with the
highest Z value is drawn on top. When the Z values are the same,
the insertion order will decide the stacking order.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="topLevelItem" /><a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a> QGraphicsItem.topLevelItem (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns this item's top-level item. The top-level item is the
item's topmost ancestor item whose parent is 0. If an item has no
parent, its own pointer is returned (i.e., a top-level item is its
own top-level item).</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#parentItem">parentItem</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="topLevelWidget" /><a href="qgraphicswidget.html">QGraphicsWidget</a> QGraphicsItem.topLevelWidget (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns a pointer to the item's top level widget (i.e., the
item's ancestor whose parent is 0, or whose parent is not a
widget), or 0 if this item does not have a top level widget. If the
item is its own top level widget, this function returns a pointer
to the item itself.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="transform" /><a href="qtransform.html">QTransform</a> QGraphicsItem.transform (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns this item's transformation matrix.</p>
<p>The transformation matrix is combined with the item's <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#rotation">rotation</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#scale">scale</a>() and <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#transformations">transformations</a>() into a
combined transformations for the item.</p>
<p>The default transformation matrix is an identity matrix.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setTransform">setTransform</a>() and <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#sceneTransform">sceneTransform</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="transformations" />list-of-QGraphicsTransform QGraphicsItem.transformations (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns a list of graphics transforms that currently apply to
this item.</p>
<p><a href="qgraphicstransform.html">QGraphicsTransform</a> is for
applying and controlling a chain of individual transformation
operations on an item. It's particularly useful in animations,
where each transform operation needs to be interpolated
independently, or differently.</p>
<p>The transformations are combined with the item's <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#rotation">rotation</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#scale">scale</a>() and <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#transform">transform</a>() to map the item's
coordinate system to the parent item.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.6.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="translate" />QGraphicsItem.translate (<i>self</i>, float <i>dx</i>, float <i>dy</i>)</h3><h3 class="fn"><a name="type" />int QGraphicsItem.type (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the type of an item as an int. All standard graphicsitem
classes are associated with a unique value; see <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#Type-var">QGraphicsItem.Type</a>. This type
information is used by <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#qgraphicsitem_cast">qgraphicsitem_cast</a>() to
distinguish between types.</p>
<p>The default implementation (in <a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a>) returns <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#UserType-var">UserType</a>.</p>
<p>To enable use of <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#qgraphicsitem_cast">qgraphicsitem_cast</a>()
with a custom item, reimplement this function and declare a Type
enum value equal to your custom item's type. Custom items must
return a value larger than or equal to <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#UserType-var">UserType</a> (65536).</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="keyword">class</span> CustomItem : <span class="keyword">public</span> <span class="type"><a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a></span>
{

<h3 class="fn"><a name="ungrabKeyboard" />QGraphicsItem.ungrabKeyboard (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Releases the keyboard grab.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="update" />QGraphicsItem.update (<i>self</i>, <a href="qrectf.html">QRectF</a> <i>rect</i> = QRectF())</h3><p>Schedules a redraw of the area covered by <i>rect</i> in this
item. You can call this function whenever your item needs to be
redrawn, such as if it changes appearance or size.</p>
<p>This function does not cause an immediate paint; instead it
schedules a paint request that is processed by <a href="qgraphicsview.html">QGraphicsView</a> after control reaches the
event loop. The item will only be redrawn if it is visible in any
associated view.</p>
<p>As a side effect of the item being repainted, other items that
overlap the area <i>rect</i> may also be repainted.</p>
<p>If the item is invisible (i.e., <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#isVisible">isVisible</a>() returns false), this
function does nothing.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="wheelEvent" />QGraphicsItem.wheelEvent (<i>self</i>, <a href="qgraphicsscenewheelevent.html">QGraphicsSceneWheelEvent</a> <i>event</i>)</h3><p>This event handler, for event <i>event</i>, can be reimplemented
to receive wheel events for this item. If you reimplement this
function, <i>event</i> will be accepted by default.</p>
<p>If you ignore the event, (i.e., by calling <a href="qevent.html#ignore">QEvent.ignore</a>(),) it will propagate to
any item beneath this item. If no items accept the event, it will
be ignored by the scene, and propagate to the view (e.g., the
view's vertical scroll bar).</p>
<p>The default implementation ignores the event.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="window" /><a href="qgraphicswidget.html">QGraphicsWidget</a> QGraphicsItem.window (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the item's window, or 0 if this item does not have a
window. If the item is a window, it will return itself. Otherwise
it will return the closest ancestor that is a window.</p>

<a href="qgraphicsitem.html#x">x</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="zValue" />float QGraphicsItem.zValue (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the Z-value of the item. The Z-value affects the
stacking order of sibling (neighboring) items.</p>
<p>The default Z-value is 0.</p>
