Qt mismatch of coordinates

[angeleyes]

Hello.
I added a itemgroup (inherited from QObject and QGraphicsItemGroup) to the coordinates (25,0), then I added an ellipse to the coordinates (25, 0) and added a picture. (CanvasScene inherited from QGraphicsScene). I also drew the position of the group.

Why the coordinates of itemgroup and ellipse don't match? And why x-position of image equal to x-positon of itemgroup?

It is late-oclock and I'm lazy so not reading your code, but the general reason people have problems with coordinates is because they forget that coordinates are relative to the parent widget, not global screen coordinates.
