QGraphicsScene save to file, and read the file to reload ?

sonichy

QGraphicsScene is very convenient to edit QGraphicsItem.
Is there a good way to save QGraphicsitems to file to make it reloadable to edit again like photoshop ?

Try this. But instead of grabbing the whole QGraphicsScene, I think it will work on QGraphicItems as well.
(Convert the QGraphicsItem to QPixmap like here, then write Pixmap to *.png, *.jpg file)

Hi
@Pl45m4 solution will allow you to make bitmap images of the scene/items and edit on other programs.

However, if you mean to save the scene as a file and later load the same scene, you will need to save it differently for that to be possible.

see here for a sample saving the items.
