How to get a stroked path of a QPainterPath with just one line?

patrickkidd

I am trying to get a stroked path 10 pixels around a QPainterPath with nothing but a single vertical line in it. But the bounding rect of the stroked path still has a width of zero. For example:

def test_strokedPath():

    path = QPainterPath()
    path.moveTo(0, 0)
    path.lineTo(0, 100)
    stroker = QPainterPathStroker()
    stroker.setWidth(10)
    sPath = stroker.createStroke(path)
    print(path.boundingRect())

outputs:

PyQt5.QtCore.QRectF(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 100.0)

It seems the stroked path should have a width of 10. How can I do this?

Hi,

Isn't sPath you should use for that bounding rect retrieval ?

@SGaist Yes it is, it it works there. Funny enough, it was yet another bug in my code that cause led a zero-width shape.
