[Solved] Python QPixmap positioning?

needhelp_gh

Hi,

I'm trying to change the position of a pixmap, but it doesn't seem to be working:

@iconview = QtGui.QGraphicsView()
scn = QtGui.QGraphicsScene(iconView)
scn.setSceneRect(iconView.sceneRect())
iconView.setScene(scn)
pix = QtGui.QPixmap("picture.xpm")
item = QtGui.QGraphicsPixmapItem(scn.addPixmap(pix))
item.setPos(0, 30) # for ex@

It displays the picture, but doesn't move the position...just stays in the center.

Thanks!!

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Your problem is with the following line:

@scn.setSceneRect(iconView.sceneRect())@

If you print out the result of sceneRect() you get:

@QRectF(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)@

i.e. a rectangle of no size. This is because the QGraphicsView doesn't have a scene from which to get a size yet so returns default. If you set a size as follows your icon will be placed as desired:

@scn.setSceneRect(QRectF(0.0, 0.0, 250.0, 250.0))@

Thanks again, jazzycamel!!! :)
