PySide2: Filling not scaled

galou_breizh

I tried to draw a circle from real-world units (in my case in meters up to a few meters). I tried to scale my QGraphicsItem element but it appears that the filling is note scaled correctly:

#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""Shows an incomprehension (bug?) while scaling a graphics item"""

from PySide2 import QtCore
from PySide2 import QtGui
from PySide2 import QtWidgets

point_size = 0.1  # In real-world units.

# Get entrypoint through which we control underlying Qt framework
app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])

scene = QtWidgets.QGraphicsScene()
scale = 500  # 1 real-world units = 500 px.
pen = QtGui.QPen(QtCore.Qt.red)
brush = QtGui.QBrush(QtCore.Qt.blue)
x = 1  # Real-world units.
y = 2  # Real-world units.
top_left = (x - point_size / 2, y - point_size / 2)
ellipse = QtWidgets.QGraphicsEllipseItem(
    QtCore.QRectF(*top_left, point_size, point_size))
ellipse.setPen(pen)
ellipse.setBrush(brush)
ellipse.setScale(scale)
scene.addItem(ellipse)

view = QtWidgets.QGraphicsView(scene)
view.show()

# Start Qt/PySide2 application. If we don't show any windows, the
# app would just loop at this point without the means to exit
app.exec_()

What I get is something between a circle and a square with red stroke (size 500x500 px²) filled with white color with a 50x50 px² blue circle in the middle.
Cf. screenshot

Thanks for any help on this!

The problem appears rather to be that the stroke is wrongly scaled. The filling has the correct size. There must be some round error somewhere that screw up the scaling of the stroke.

I think point_size is too small and the ellipse generated is "pixelated" because of that.

This gives a nice circle filled with blue
