Display different QGraphicsSvgItems in QGraphicViews

gewitt

Hi,
first of all, I am kinda new to C ++ and Qt stuff. Sorry if my Questions are a bit dumb ^^

I created a Qt Widgets Application, and add some GraphicsViewItems to the mainwindow.ui via the Design Tab. Now I wanted to Display different Svgs in my GraphicsView Object.

What I am doin is the Following:
mainwondow.h File:

#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H

#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QString>
#include <QSvgRenderer>
#include <QGraphicsSvgItem>


QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE
namespace Ui { class MainWindow; }
class QAction;
class QGraphicsView;
class QGraphicsScene;
class QGraphicsRectItem;
class QLabel;
class QGraphicsSvgItem;
class QSvgRenderer;

QT_END_NAMESPACE

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    MainWindow(QWidget *parent = nullptr);
    bool loadFile(const QString &path);
    ~MainWindow();

private:
    Ui::MainWindow *ui;
    QGraphicsScene *scene;
    QGraphicsSvgItem *f1;
    QGraphicsSvgItem *f2;
    QGraphicsSvgItem *f3;
    QGraphicsSvgItem *f4;
    QGraphicsSvgItem *f5;
    QGraphicsSvgItem *f6;

};
#endif // MAINWINDOW_H

mainwindow.cpp File:

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
    , ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);

    scene = new QGraphicsScene(this);

    QSvgRenderer *renderer = new QSvgRenderer(QStringLiteral("Icons.svg"));


    f1->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
    f1->setElementId(QStringLiteral("SVGF2M1"));
    f2->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
    f2->setElementId(QStringLiteral("SVGF2M2"));
    f3->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
    f3->setElementId(QStringLiteral("SVGF2M3"));
    f4->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
    f4->setElementId(QStringLiteral("SVGF3M1"));
    f5->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
    f5->setElementId(QStringLiteral("SVGF4M1"));
    f6->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
    f6->setElementId(QStringLiteral("SVGF4M2"));

    ui->function1->setScene(scene);
    scene->addItem(f1);
    ui->function1->show();

    ui->function2->setScene(scene);
    scene->addItem(f2);
    ui->function2->show();

    ui->function3->setScene(scene);
    scene->addItem(f3);
    ui->function3->show();

    ui->function4->setScene(scene);
    scene->addItem(f4);
    ui->function4->show();

    ui->function5->setScene(scene);
    scene->addItem(f5);
    ui->function5->show();

    ui->function6->setScene(scene);
    scene->addItem(f6);
    ui->function6->show();


}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    delete ui;
}

Is this corret, or did I miss some important steps?

If I build the Project, it tells me it crashed but without any error.

11:04:29: Starting /home/g/workspace/build-unimogQT_secPanel-Desktop_Qt_5_9_9_GCC_64bit-Debug/unimogQT_secPanel ...

Thx in Advance

@gewitt said in Display different QGraphicsSvgItems in QGraphicViews:

f1->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
f1->setElementId(QStringLiteral("SVGF2M1"));
f2->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
f2->setElementId(QStringLiteral("SVGF2M2"));
f3->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
f3->setElementId(QStringLiteral("SVGF2M3"));
f4->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
f4->setElementId(QStringLiteral("SVGF3M1"));
f5->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
f5->setElementId(QStringLiteral("SVGF4M1"));
f6->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
f6->setElementId(QStringLiteral("SVGF4M2"));

All these f* are dangling pointers! You did not allocate memory and assign the address (f1 = new ...)!

@jsulm
thx for the fast reply!

well now it compiles, but it doesnt show my svgs in the GraphicsViews

@gewitt

Hi
Well it cant find your svg , i would guess
"Icons.svg"
It will look in the build folder for it as there is where exe is run from.

It wont find it in the project folder unless you use an absolute path.

You can also use a res file
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/resources.html

gewitt

I made a Resource file:

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/assets">
        <file>Icons.svg</file>
    </qresource>
</RCC>

and call it like

QSvgRenderer(QStringLiteral(":/assets/Icons.svg"));

nothing changed :(

mrjj

@gewitt
And you did a full recompile so the res file was made ?
Test with a QLabel that it can show the svg.
It might be related to setElementId or somethign else so start testing it can show the
SVG normally with qlable as a window. very fast test.

gewitt

i did use the wrong ids like it seems,
but now i get all the Svgs overlapped in every GraphicsView.
how can i fix this?

mrjj

@gewitt

Well it seems that it render it all.´even when using
setElementId
I wonder if its due to the render being shared.
Make some small test to
verify it can indeed render just the element and not whole SVG.

gewitt

seems like i need a new scene for every Graphicsview then it is working :)

    scene1 = new QGraphicsScene(this);
    scene2 = new QGraphicsScene(this);
    scene3 = new QGraphicsScene(this);
    scene4 = new QGraphicsScene(this);
    scene5 = new QGraphicsScene(this);
    scene6 = new QGraphicsScene(this);

    QSvgRenderer *renderer = new QSvgRenderer(QStringLiteral(":/assets/Icons.svg"));


    f1 = new QGraphicsSvgItem();
    f2 = new QGraphicsSvgItem();
    f3 = new QGraphicsSvgItem();
    f4 = new QGraphicsSvgItem();
    f5 = new QGraphicsSvgItem();
    f6 = new QGraphicsSvgItem();


    f1->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
    f1->setElementId(QStringLiteral("ring"));
    ui->function1->setScene(scene1);
    scene1->addItem(f1);
    ui->function1->show();


    f2->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
    f2->setElementId(QStringLiteral("EselKontur"));
    ui->function2->setScene(scene2);
    scene2->addItem(f2);
    ui->function2->show();

    f3->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
    f3->setElementId(QStringLiteral("Kopf"));
    ui->function3->setScene(scene3);
    scene3->addItem(f3);
    ui->function3->show();

    f4->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
    f4->setElementId(QStringLiteral("Kreis2"));
    ui->function4->setScene(scene4);
    scene4->addItem(f4);
    ui->function4->show();

    f5->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
    f5->setElementId(QStringLiteral("rectTop"));
    ui->function5->setScene(scene2);
    scene5->addItem(f5);
    ui->function5->show();

    f6->setSharedRenderer(renderer);
    f6->setElementId(QStringLiteral("rectVerstellpumpeHorizontal"));
    ui->function6->setScene(scene6);
    scene6->addItem(f6);
    ui->function6->show();

Thx for your help :)
