[quote author="task_struct" date="1314781082"]@Cpowa, as I understand from Andres answer QGraphicsPolygonItem has a bounding rectangle and 0,0 is at its lower right corner. [/quote]
Then you misunderstood my post. My point was, that (0,0) is not a fixed point for any item. It is just the origin of the coordinate system, but because you are allowed to use negative coordinates, the actual drawing of the item could happen anywhere relative to this point. You can make (0,0) the upper left or the lower right corner of your item, but you can also make it the center, or draw you item so that (0,0) is completely outside your item. Bottom line: (0,0) can be anywhere. It is another question whether it should, of course.
