QPainter -draw a diagram and get data from it

Veaceslav

Hello,

for my project i need draw a diagram from model, and allow the user to edit it.

Here is an example:

https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1P4NYWNnNI6mGidrtuA_NF4gc90o2YzqhxRj9xlx4qNw/edit

Rectangles will be read from model so user won't be able to add them. Circles mean input and outputs for tasks (probably also will be read from model )

And what i need is to let user to add/delete an arrow from one circle to another and to get information about all connections in a list:

circle1- circle 2
circle 2- circle 4

etc...

This is possible to be done with QPainter?

if yes, can you provide me with some tutorials especially the part with user drawing and getting data from image?

I would use the "Graphics View Framework":/doc/qt-4.8/graphicsview.html classes. You will use [[doc:QGraphicsView]] and it's friends [[doc:QGraphicsScene]] and [[doc:QGraphicsItem]] (and subclasses).

Hi,
This example will be the best to start with - http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/graphicsview-diagramscene.html

Hmm... previous developer tried to implement something like this, but he didn't succeed.

Now i have a piece of code that looks like that tutorial and i think I'll come back with more specific question.

Andre, amban thanks a lot for your help :)

Hello, i came back with other question:

I've managed to draw the rectangle with inputs:

I used
painter->drawEllipse(QRectF)

Now i'm interested if i can figure out which circle was clicked.

A circle is clicked if the distance of the click position to the center of the circle is smaller (or equal) to the radius of the circle, e.g.
@(click.x-circle.x)^2 + (click.y-circle.y)^2 <= circle.radius^2@

But if I'm not mistaken, the GraphicsView-Framework should already contain a simple circle/ellipse item with hit-test etc.

I think it have mouse click event, but the problem is that is one custom item,

that contains a rectangle and 2 circles(not three different objects).

It's a object with boundingRect = (0,0,100,100)

rectangle drawn at (0,25,100,50)

and another 2 circles. I can save that circle's QRect in a list, but how to get pointer position inside the graphics item?
