Same Qgraphicseffect to different qgraphicsitems?

Gowtam

Hello all, I am trying to apply qgraphicsdropshadoweffect to QGraphicsTextItems, but the effect is being applied to only the last item, may I know why?

@
effect5->setBlurRadius(_shadowData.blurRadius);
effect5->setXOffset(_shadowData.hOffset);
effect5->setYOffset(_shadowData.vOffset);
effect5->setColor(_shadowData.shadowColor);

    text1->setGraphicsEffect(effect5);
    text2->setGraphicsEffect(effect5);
    text3->setGraphicsEffect(effect5);
    text5->setGraphicsEffect(effect5);
    text4->setGraphicsEffect(effect5);

You have to create a new QGraphicsEffect object for each object that you are using.

If effect is the installed on a different item, setGraphicsEffect() will remove the effect from the item and install it on this item.

reading the "docs":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qgraphicsitem.html#setGraphicsEffect really may help!
