graphics view related events.</p>
<p>When a <a href="qgraphicsview.html">QGraphicsView</a> receives
Qt mouse, keyboard, and drag and drop events (<a href="qmouseevent.html">QMouseEvent</a>, <a href="qkeyevent.html">QKeyEvent</a>, QDragEvent, etc.), it translates
them into instances of QGraphicsSceneEvent subclasses and forwards
them to the <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a> it
displays. The scene then forwards the events to the relevant
items.</p>
<p>For example, when a <a href="qgraphicsview.html">QGraphicsView</a> receives a <a href="qmouseevent.html">QMouseEvent</a> of type MousePress as a response
to a user click, the view sends a <a href="qgraphicsscenemouseevent.html">QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent</a> of
type <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">GraphicsSceneMousePress</a> to
the underlying <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a>
through its <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#mousePressEvent">mousePressEvent()</a>
function. The default <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#mousePressEvent">QGraphicsScene.mousePressEvent</a>()
implementation determines which item was clicked and forwards the
event to <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#mousePressEvent">QGraphicsItem.mousePressEvent</a>().</p>
<p>Subclasses such as <a href="qgraphicsscenemouseevent.html">QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent</a> and
<a href="qgraphicsscenecontextmenuevent.html">QGraphicsSceneContextMenuEvent</a>
provide the coordinates from the original <a href="qevent.html">QEvent</a> in screen, scene, and item coordinates
(see <a href="qgraphicsscenemouseevent.html#screenPos">screenPos()</a>, <a href="qgraphicsscenemouseevent.html#scenePos">scenePos()</a>, and
<a href="qgraphicsscenemouseevent.html#pos">pos()</a>). The item
coordinates are set by the <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a> before it forwards the
event to the event to a <a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a>. The mouse events also add
the possibility to retrieve the coordinates from the last event
received by the view (see <a href="qgraphicsscenemouseevent.html#lastScreenPos">lastScreenPos()</a>,
<a href="qgraphicsscenemouseevent.html#lastScenePos">lastScenePos()</a>,
and <a href="qgraphicsscenemouseevent.html#lastPos">lastPos()</a>).</p>
