    Hi,
    Looking around the Internet, I found this link:
    http://kunalmaemo.blogspot.com/2010/07/rotation-and-mirroring-qgraphicsitem-in.html

    Something interesting about it was to find this instruction:
    @
    graphicsItem->scale(-1,1)
    @

    I was looking for the method scale(qreal, qreal) in the QGraphicsItem documentation:
    http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qgraphicsitem-members.html

    And there's no trace about it. The funny thing is that I tested that method from my
    source code using Qt 4.7 and it really works. Is this a ghost method or I'm missing
    something?

    Anyway, unfortunately for me it is not exactly what I am looking for.
    My question is this:

    I need the same result of the method setScale(qreal) but with the option of scaling
    X and Y axes with different values.
    Is there a way to implement something like setScale(qreal, qreal) ?

    Thanks for any clue!

      You might want to check out QGraphicsItem::setTransform(). That method allows you to set a QTransform, which allows you to setup basically any 2D transformation you might need.
