[potla11]

hi..i want to draw rectitems on the scene with mouse ... i tried like this
@
void scene::mousePressEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent* event) {

if (!rubberband)

rubberband = new QRubberBand(QRubberBand::Rectangle, this);

startPoint = event->pos();

rubberband->setGeometry(QRect(startPoint,QSize()));

rubberband->show();

rubberBandActive = true;

}

void scene::mouseMoveEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent* event) {

if(rubberBandActive){

rubberband->setGeometry(QRect(startPoint,event->pos()).normalized());

}

}

void scene::mouseReleaseEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent* event) {

if(rubberBandActive){

endPoint = event->pos();

rubberBandActive = false;

rubberband->hide();

}

}@

i am not able to draw the rect item with this code can some one tell me how to draw rectitem with mouse

Please wrap your code within 'at' to make appropriate formatting.

QRubberBand is (AFAIK) used for selecting of items, not for drawing rectangles. So it will disappear after you release left mouse button. But you are storing endPoint so you can use it along with startPoint in your paintEvent (or whatever QGraphicsScene is using) to paint desired rectangle.

void scene::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event)

{
QPainter painter(this);
painter.drawRect(QRect(startpoint,endpoint));

have a look at the "graphics view doc":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/graphicsview.html

There is example code there.

"addRect":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qgraphicsscene.html#addRect is what you need I suppose.
Make your scene and use one of it's addRect methods
