<!-- $$$QGraphicsLayoutItem-description -->
<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QGraphicsLayoutItem class can be inherited to allow your custom items to be managed by layouts.</p>
<p>QGraphicsLayoutItem is an abstract class that defines a set of virtual functions describing sizes, size policies, and size hints for any object arranged by <a href="qgraphicslayout.html">QGraphicsLayout</a>. The API contains functions relevant for both the item itself and for the user of the item as most of QGraphicsLayoutItem's functions are also part of the subclass' public API.</p>
<p>In most cases, existing layout-aware classes such as <a href="qgraphicswidget.html">QGraphicsWidget</a> and <a href="qgraphicslayout.html">QGraphicsLayout</a> already provide the functionality you require. However, subclassing these classes will enable you to create both graphical elements that work well with layouts (<a href="qgraphicswidget.html">QGraphicsWidget</a>) or custom layouts (<a href="qgraphicslayout.html">QGraphicsLayout</a>).</p>
<a name="subclassing-qgraphicslayoutitem"></a>
<h3>Subclassing QGraphicsLayoutItem</h3>
<p>If you create a subclass of QGraphicsLayoutItem and reimplement its virtual functions, you will enable the layout to resize and position your item along with other QGraphicsLayoutItems including <a href="qgraphicswidget.html">QGraphicsWidget</a> and <a href="qgraphicslayout.html">QGraphicsLayout</a>.</p>
<p>You can start by reimplementing important functions: the protected <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#sizeHint">sizeHint</a>() function, as well as the public <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#setGeometry">setGeometry</a>() function. If you want your items to be aware of immediate geometry changes, you can also reimplement <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#updateGeometry">updateGeometry</a>().</p>
<p>The geometry, size hint, and size policy affect the item's size and position. Calling <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#setGeometry">setGeometry</a>() will always resize and reposition the item immediately. Normally, this function is called by <a href="qgraphicslayout.html">QGraphicsLayout</a> after the layout has been activated, but it can also be called by the item's user at any time.</p>
<p>The <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#sizeHint">sizeHint</a>() function returns the item' minimum, preferred and maximum size hints. You can override these properties by calling <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#setMinimumSize">setMinimumSize</a>(), <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#setPreferredSize">setPreferredSize</a>() or <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#setMaximumSize">setMaximumSize</a>(). You can also use functions such as <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#setMinimumWidth">setMinimumWidth</a>() or <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#setMaximumHeight">setMaximumHeight</a>() to set only the width or height component if desired.</p>
<p>The <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#effectiveSizeHint">effectiveSizeHint</a>() function, on the other hand, returns a size hint for any given <a href="qt.html#SizeHint-enum">Qt::SizeHint</a>, and guarantees that the returned size is bound to the minimum and maximum sizes and size hints. You can set the item's vertical and horizontal size policy by calling <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#setSizePolicy">setSizePolicy</a>(). The sizePolicy property is used by the layout system to describe how this item prefers to grow or shrink.</p>
<a name="nesting-qgraphicslayoutitems"></a>
<h3>Nesting QGraphicsLayoutItems</h3>
<p>QGraphicsLayoutItems can be nested within other QGraphicsLayoutItems, similar to layouts that can contain sublayouts. This is done either by passing a QGraphicsLayoutItem pointer to QGraphicsLayoutItem's protected constructor, or by calling <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#setParentLayoutItem">setParentLayoutItem</a>(). The <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#parentLayoutItem">parentLayoutItem</a>() function returns a pointer to the item's layoutItem parent. If the item's parent is 0 or if the parent does not inherit from <a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a>, the <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#parentLayoutItem">parentLayoutItem</a>() function then returns 0. <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#isLayout">isLayout</a>() returns true if the QGraphicsLayoutItem subclass is itself a layout, or false otherwise.</p>
<p>Qt uses QGraphicsLayoutItem to provide layout functionality in the <a href="graphicsview.html">Graphics View Framework</a>, but in the future its use may spread throughout Qt itself.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="contentsRect"></a><span class="type"><a href="qrectf.html">QRectF</a></span> QGraphicsLayoutItem::<span class="name">contentsRect</span> () const</h3>
<p>Returns the contents rect in local coordinates.</p>
<p>The contents rect defines the subrectangle used by an associated layout when arranging subitems. This function is a convenience function that adjusts the item's <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#geometry">geometry</a>() by its contents margins. Note that <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#getContentsMargins">getContentsMargins</a>() is a virtual function that you can reimplement to return the item's contents margins.</p>

<p>Returns the effective size hint for this <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html">QGraphicsLayoutItem</a>.</p>
<p><i>which</i> is the size hint in question. <i>constraint</i> is an optional argument that defines a special constrain when calculating the effective size hint. By default, <i>constraint</i> is <a href="qsizef.html">QSizeF</a>(-1, -1), which means there is no constraint to the size hint.</p>
<p>If you want to specify the widget's size hint for a given width or height, you can provide the fixed dimension in <i>constraint</i>. This is useful for widgets that can grow only either vertically or horizontally, and need to set either their width or their height to a special value.</p>
<p>For example, a text paragraph item fit into a column width of 200 may grow vertically. You can pass <a href="qsizef.html">QSizeF</a>(200, -1) as a constraint to get a suitable minimum, preferred and maximum height).</p>
<p>You can adjust the effective size hint by reimplementing <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#sizeHint">sizeHint</a>() in a <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html">QGraphicsLayoutItem</a> subclass, or by calling one of the following functions: <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#setMinimumSize">setMinimumSize</a>(), setPreferredSize, or <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#setMaximumSize">setMaximumSize</a>() (or a combination of both).</p>
<p>This function caches each of the size hints and guarantees that <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#sizeHint">sizeHint</a>() will be called only once for each value of <i>which</i> - unless <i>constraint</i> is not specified and <a href="qgraphicslayoutitem.html#updateGeometry">updateGeometry</a>() has been called.</p>
