Hey, not sure if you found the solution yet. But you can try this:
QGraphicsPixmapItem *pixmapItem = new QGraphicsPixmapItem; pixmapItem->setPixmap(QPixmap(":/images/pixmap.png")); _scene->addItem(pixmapItem); pixmapItem->setRotation(pixmapItem->rotation() + 45.0); QGraphicsRectItem *boundingRect = new QGraphicsRectItem(pixmapItem->sceneBoundingRect()); QPen outlinePen; outlinePen.setWidth(2); outlinePen.setColor(Qt::red); boundingRect->setPen(outlinePen); _scene->addItem(boundingRect);I believe what you want is the sceneBoundingRect() and not the boundingRect().
