Removing QGraphicsPathItem from scene

required

Hello,
I am creating a simple QWidget application. I'm stuck at deleting single QGraphicsPathItem object. I start from a QPainterPath object.

QGraphicsScene *scene;
QPainterPath foo_path;
foo_path.moveTo(10,10);
foo_path.lineTo(20,20);
QGraphicsPathItem *foo_item = scene->addPath(foo_path);

QGraphicsScene::removeItem() does not work with QGraphicsPathItem, only with QGraphicsItem.

Is there a workaround? Thanks.

This dummy example:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QGraphicsScene>
#include <QGraphicsPathItem>
#include <QPainterPath>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QGraphicsScene scene;
    QPainterPath path;
    QGraphicsPathItem *item = scene.addPath(path);
    scene.removeItem(item);
    return 0;
}

builds without any problem.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What doesn't work for you ?

QGraphicsPathItem is a subclass of QGraphicsItem.

Thank you for your reply.

I'd like to delete the QGraphicsPathItem using scene->removeItem(foo_item).

Compiler returns error "no matching function....", since removeItem only works with QGraphicsItem and there is no known conversion from 'QGraphicsPathItem*' to 'QGraphicsItem*'.

This dummy example:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QGraphicsScene>
#include <QGraphicsPathItem>
#include <QPainterPath>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QGraphicsScene scene;
    QPainterPath path;
    QGraphicsPathItem *item = scene.addPath(path);
    scene.removeItem(item);
    return 0;
}

builds without any problem.

Forgot the include. Oh god.

Thank you for your help.
