<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QGraphicsScene class provides a surface for managing a large number of 2D graphical items.</p>
<p>The class serves as a container for QGraphicsItems. It is used together with <a href="qgraphicsview.html">QGraphicsView</a> for visualizing graphical items, such as lines, rectangles, text, or even custom items, on a 2D surface. QGraphicsScene is part of the <a href="graphicsview.html">Graphics View Framework</a>.</p>
<p>QGraphicsScene also provides functionality that lets you efficiently determine both the location of items, and for determining what items are visible within an arbitrary area on the scene. With the <a href="qgraphicsview.html">QGraphicsView</a> widget, you can either visualize the whole scene, or zoom in and view only parts of the scene.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type">QGraphicsScene</span> scene;
scene<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qgraphicsscene.html#addText">addText</a>(<span class="string">"Hello, world!"</span>);
<span class="type"><a href="qgraphicsview.html">QGraphicsView</a></span> view(<span class="operator">&</span>scene);
view<span class="operator">.</span>show();</pre>
<p>Note that QGraphicsScene has no visual appearance of its own; it only manages the items. You need to create a <a href="qgraphicsview.html">QGraphicsView</a> widget to visualize the scene.</p>
<p>To add items to a scene, you start off by constructing a QGraphicsScene object. Then, you have two options: either add your existing <a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItem</a> objects by calling <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#addItem">addItem</a>(), or you can call one of the convenience functions <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#addEllipse">addEllipse</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#addLine">addLine</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#addPath">addPath</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#addPixmap">addPixmap</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#addPolygon">addPolygon</a>(), <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#addRect">addRect</a>(), or <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#addText">addText</a>(), which all return a pointer to the newly added item. The dimensions of the items added with these functions are relative to the item's coordinate system, and the items position is initialized to (0, 0) in the scene.</p>
<p>You can then visualize the scene using <a href="qgraphicsview.html">QGraphicsView</a>. When the scene changes, (e.g., when an item moves or is transformed) QGraphicsScene emits the <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#changed">changed</a>() signal. To remove an item, call <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#removeItem">removeItem</a>().</p>
<p>QGraphicsScene uses an indexing algorithm to manage the location of items efficiently. By default, a BSP (Binary Space Partitioning) tree is used; an algorithm suitable for large scenes where most items remain static (i.e., do not move around). You can choose to disable this index by calling <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#itemIndexMethod-prop">setItemIndexMethod</a>(). For more information about the available indexing algorithms, see the <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#itemIndexMethod-prop">itemIndexMethod</a> property.</p>
<p>The scene's bounding rect is set by calling <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#sceneRect-prop">setSceneRect</a>(). Items can be placed at any position on the scene, and the size of the scene is by default unlimited. The scene rect is used only for internal bookkeeping, maintaining the scene's item index. If the scene rect is unset, QGraphicsScene will use the bounding area of all items, as returned by <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#itemsBoundingRect">itemsBoundingRect</a>(), as the scene rect. However, <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#itemsBoundingRect">itemsBoundingRect</a>() is a relatively time consuming function, as it operates by collecting positional information for every item on the scene. Because of this, you should always set the scene rect when operating on large scenes.</p>
<p>One of QGraphicsScene's greatest strengths is its ability to efficiently determine the location of items. Even with millions of items on the scene, the <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#items">items</a>() functions can determine the location of an item within few milliseconds. There are several overloads to <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#items">items</a>(): one that finds items at a certain position, one that finds items inside or intersecting with a polygon or a rectangle, and more. The list of returned items is sorted by stacking order, with the topmost item being the first item in the list. For convenience, there is also an <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#itemAt">itemAt</a>() function that returns the topmost item at a given position.</p>
<p>QGraphicsScene maintains selection information for the scene. To select items, call <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#setSelectionArea">setSelectionArea</a>(), and to clear the current selection, call <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#clearSelection">clearSelection</a>(). Call <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#selectedItems">selectedItems</a>() to get the list of all selected items.</p>
<a name="event-handling-and-propagation"></a>
<h3>Event Handling and Propagation</h3>
<p>Another responsibility that QGraphicsScene has, is to propagate events from <a href="qgraphicsview.html">QGraphicsView</a>. To send an event to a scene, you construct an event that inherits <a href="qevent.html">QEvent</a>, and then send it using, for example, <a href="qcoreapplication.html#sendEvent">QApplication::sendEvent</a>(). <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#event">event</a>() is responsible for dispatching the event to the individual items. Some common events are handled by convenience event handlers. For example, key press events are handled by <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#keyPressEvent">keyPressEvent</a>(), and mouse press events are handled by <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#mousePressEvent">mousePressEvent</a>().</p>
<p>Key events are delivered to the <i>focus item</i>. To set the focus item, you can either call <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#setFocusItem">setFocusItem</a>(), passing an item that accepts focus, or the item itself can call <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#setFocus">QGraphicsItem::setFocus</a>(). Call <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#focusItem">focusItem</a>() to get the current focus item. For compatibility with widgets, the scene also maintains its own focus information. By default, the scene does not have focus, and all key events are discarded. If <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#setFocus">setFocus</a>() is called, or if an item on the scene gains focus, the scene automatically gains focus. If the scene has focus, <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#hasFocus">hasFocus</a>() will return true, and key events will be forwarded to the focus item, if any. If the scene loses focus, (i.e., someone calls <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#clearFocus">clearFocus</a>()) while an item has focus, the scene will maintain its item focus information, and once the scene regains focus, it will make sure the last focus item regains focus.</p>
<p>For mouse-over effects, QGraphicsScene dispatches <i>hover events</i>. If an item accepts hover events (see <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#acceptHoverEvents">QGraphicsItem::acceptHoverEvents</a>()), it will receive a <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">GraphicsSceneHoverEnter</a> event when the mouse enters its area. As the mouse continues moving inside the item's area, QGraphicsScene will send it <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">GraphicsSceneHoverMove</a> events. When the mouse leaves the item's area, the item will receive a <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">GraphicsSceneHoverLeave</a> event.</p>
<p>All mouse events are delivered to the current <i>mouse grabber</i> item. An item becomes the scene's mouse grabber if it accepts mouse events (see <a href="qgraphicsitem.html#acceptedMouseButtons">QGraphicsItem::acceptedMouseButtons</a>()) and it receives a mouse press. It stays the mouse grabber until it receives a mouse release when no other mouse buttons are pressed. You can call <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#mouseGrabberItem">mouseGrabberItem</a>() to determine what item is currently grabbing the mouse.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="bspTreeDepth-prop"></a><span class="name">bspTreeDepth</span> : <span class="type">int</span></h3>
<p>This property holds the depth of QGraphicsScene's BSP index tree.</p>
<p>This property has no effect when <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#ItemIndexMethod-enum">NoIndex</a> is used.</p>
<p>This value determines the depth of <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a>'s BSP tree. The depth directly affects <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a>'s performance and memory usage; the latter growing exponentially with the depth of the tree. With an optimal tree depth, <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a> can instantly determine the locality of items, even for scenes with thousands or millions of items. This also greatly improves rendering performance.</p>
<p>By default, the value is 0, in which case Qt will guess a reasonable default depth based on the size, location and number of items in the scene. If these parameters change frequently, however, you may experience slowdowns as <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a> retunes the depth internally. You can avoid potential slowdowns by fixating the tree depth through setting this property.</p>
<p>The depth of the tree and the size of the scene rectangle decide the granularity of the scene's partitioning. The size of each scene segment is determined by the following algorithm:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type"><a href="qsizef.html">QSizeF</a></span> segmentSize <span class="operator">=</span> sceneRect()<span class="operator">.</span>size() <span class="operator">/</span> pow(<span class="number">2</span><span class="operator">,</span> depth <span class="operator">-</span> <span class="number">1</span>);</pre>
<p>The BSP tree has an optimal size when each segment contains between 0 and 10 items.</p>

<p>If the scene's font changes, either directly through setFont() or indirectly when the application font changes, <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a> first sends itself a <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">FontChange</a> event, and it then sends <a href="qevent.html#Type-enum">FontChange</a> events to all top-level widget items in the scene. These items respond by resolving their own fonts to the scene, and they then notify their children, who again notify their children, and so on, until all widget items have updated their fonts.</p>
<p>Changing the scene font, (directly or indirectly through <a href="qapplication.html#setFont">QApplication::setFont</a>(),) automatically schedules a redraw the entire scene.</p>

<p>This property holds the item indexing method.</p>
<p><a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a> applies an indexing algorithm to the scene, to speed up item discovery functions like <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#items">items</a>() and <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#itemAt">itemAt</a>(). Indexing is most efficient for static scenes (i.e., where items don't move around). For dynamic scenes, or scenes with many animated items, the index bookkeeping can outweight the fast lookup speeds.</p>
<p>For the common case, the default index method <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#ItemIndexMethod-enum">BspTreeIndex</a> works fine. If your scene uses many animations and you are experiencing slowness, you can disable indexing by calling <tt>setItemIndexMethod(NoIndex)</tt>.</p>

<p>This event handler, for event <i>mouseEvent</i>, can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive mouse release events for the scene.</p>
<p>The default implementation depends on the mouse grabber state. If there is no mouse grabber, the event is ignored. Otherwise, if there is a mouse grabber item, the event is sent to the mouse grabber. If this mouse release represents the last pressed button on the mouse, the mouse grabber item then loses the mouse grab.</p>

<p>Renders the <i>source</i> rect from scene into <i>target</i>, using <i>painter</i>. This function is useful for capturing the contents of the scene onto a paint device, such as a <a href="qimage.html">QImage</a> (e.g., to take a screenshot), or for printing with <a href="qprinter.html">QPrinter</a>. For example:</p>

<p>If <i>source</i> is a null rect, this function will use <a href="qgraphicsscene.html#sceneRect-prop">sceneRect</a>() to determine what to render. If <i>target</i> is a null rect, the dimensions of <i>painter</i>'s paint device will be used.</p>
<p>The source rect contents will be transformed according to <i>aspectRatioMode</i> to fit into the target rect. By default, the aspect ratio is kept, and <i>source</i> is scaled to fit in <i>target</i>.</p>
