Hello guys I'm drawing 2 lines on top of each other, 1 long and 1 a bit shorter. I draw them on a QGraphicsItem. When I zoom out in my scene, I can see the ovelapping as if the longer line has some opacity, allowing me to see the shorter line below it. But if I zoom back, it looks all good. The color of my line is (180, 180, 180, 255) so no opacity. My line has a width of 1 pixel. My first guess is since 1px at no zoom is 1px, when I zoom out, my 1px becomes less than 1px (problem) but when I zoom in, it becomes more than 1px (so all good). Is there a solution to fix that ? Thx ! :)

Not sure what optimisation flags you are setting on the graphics view but one possibility might be... QGraphicsView::DontAdjustForAntialiasing or render hints set on the graphics view like... QPainter::HighQualityAntialiasing and I guess you read the docs here and here . Remember, all drawing uses the painter in the end unless you are using only OpenGL for your drawing. I hope this helps you find your way to a solution :-)

I've tried to make the pen cosmetic by setting the width to 0. That way the line should always have the same width on screen no matter the zoom factor. And the problem still occurs.

hello again @Goffer
I tried my test project on Windows and got the same results. It looks like we are stuck with that behaviour.
You could always submit it as a bug.
