squares.setRect(1000,1000,50,50);
//squares = new QGraphicsRectItem();
//squares = matrixScene.addRect(QRectF(10,50,100,100));
matrixScene->addItem(&squares);
matrixView->setScene(matrixScene);
}
#include <QtGui>
#include <QWidget>
#include "ui_ninesilicawidget.h"

class aWidget : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT

Is your sceneRect set properly ? May be the item is too far away and its not being drawn ?
Also about the design, why dont you inherit from QGraphicsView itself ?

Ohh wait.. where did you show the view ??? :rolleyes:

More likely the problem is about this issue..
