QGraphicsItem movement

rileo8

No one found this problem while moving QGraphicsItem?

What else are you doing behind the scenes in your code during the dragged move? You seem to have sql functionality and logging, are they blocking mouse or paint events at any time? You could also try to enable QGraphicsItem::ItemIsMovable flag and let Qt move your item instead. In that case remove the setPos() from mouseMoveEvent and use the item's scenePos() to get its real current pos. You could also try optimization flags for the viewport.

At the moment logging and sql connection are declared but not used during movement.

If i set QGraphicsItem::ItemIsMovable it work with lesser problems but i would like to have a major control over the movement.

Which type of optimization flags could i use?

Thanks!

If you want to have influence of a item moved by Qt you can catch the QGraphicsItem::ItemPositionChange in the itemChange function.
Therefor you have to set the QGraphicsItem::ItemSendsGeometryChanges flag.

rileo8

So you mean the using QGraphicsItem::ItemIsMovable flag and the QGraphicsItem::ItemSendsGeometryChanges flag togheter with QGraphicsItem::ItemPositionChange catching...but how can i limit the movement only to one axe?

Thanks!

Henrik

You can modify the position which should be set in ItemPositionChange. So you can set the value of the axis which shouldn't be moved to the current value. Note: the values are set after ItemPositionChange.

I made the changes but the issue still persist...
Jerky movement...

Here is the code:

@#include "asportowindow.h"

AsportoWindow::AsportoWindow(MainScene *p,int w,int h,MysqlConnector2 *c,Logger2 *l)
{
logger=l;
conn=c;

width=w;
height=h;

parent=p;
this->setParentItem(parent);
setFlag(ItemIsMovable,true);
setCacheMode(DeviceCoordinateCache);
// setFlag(ItemSendsGeometryChanges);

// movable=false;
}

void AsportoWindow::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem *option, QWidget *)
{
painter->setPen(QPen(Qt::black, 0));
painter->setBrush(QColor(78,73,73));
painter->drawRect(0,0,width,height);
}

QRectF AsportoWindow::boundingRect() const
{
return QRectF(0,0,width,height);
}

QPainterPath AsportoWindow::shape() const
{
QPainterPath path;
path.addRect(0,0,width,height);
return path;
}

/*
void AsportoWindow::mousePressEvent( QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent * event )
{
startMovement=event->scenePos().x();

 startX=this->scenePos().x();
 startY=this->scenePos().y();

 movable=true;
 lastCurrentX=startX;

}

*/

/*
void AsportoWindow::mouseReleaseEvent( QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent * event )
{
endMovement=event->scenePos().x();

if(abs(currentMovement)<200)
{
   setPos(0,startY);
}
else
{
    setPos(startX,startY);
}

movable=false;

}

*/

/*
void AsportoWindow::mouseMoveEvent( QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent * event )
{
currentMovement=event->scenePos().x();

 if(currentMovement<startMovement)
 {
  //movememnt is right to left
  int delta=startMovement-currentMovement;

  lastCurrentX=currentX;
  currentX=startX-delta;

  width=width+delta;

  setPos(currentX,startY);
 }

}

I have the same problem, but with PyQt.

Do you have a solution for your problem meanwhile?

rileo8

At the moment i didn't found a solution.....

Sound strange to me that no one has a solution for this problem but....

void AsportoWindow::mouseMoveEvent( QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent * event )
{
....
QGraphicsItem::mouseMoveEvent(event)
}

void AsportoWindow::mouseReleaseEvent( QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent * event )
{
....
QGraphicsItem::mouseReleaseEvent(event)
}

void AsportoWindow::mousePressEvent( QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent * event )
{
....
QGraphicsItem::mousePressEvent(event);
}

For such a simple item, no cache mode should be necessary.

Can you try the 40000 chips demo example, and see if GraphicsItems in that example can be moved smoothly?
