How to resize a QGraphicsScene to a QGraphicsView?

[CassioTC]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble to resize the scene to the view size.

Here is the code:

bakgroundview.h

#ifndef BACKGROUNDVIEW_H
#define BACKGROUNDVIEW_H

#include <QObject>
#include <QGraphicsView>
#include <QGraphicsScene>

class BackgroundView : public QGraphicsView
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
BackgroundView(QGraphicsView *parent=0);
~BackgroundView() {};

signals:

public slots:

private:
QGraphicsView *view;
QGraphicsScene *scene;

protected:
void resizeEvent(QResizeEvent *event);
};

#endif // BACKGROUNDVIEW_H

bakgroundview.cpp


#include <QGraphicsLineItem>
#include <QResizeEvent>

#include "backgroundview.h"

BackgroundView::BackgroundView(QGraphicsView *parent)
: QGraphicsView(parent)
{
QGraphicsView *view = new QGraphicsView();
QGraphicsScene *scene = new QGraphicsScene();

scene->setSceneRect(0,0,view->width(),view->height());

QGraphicsLineItem* line = new QGraphicsLineItem ( 0,0, scene->width(), 0 );
QGraphicsLineItem* line2 = new QGraphicsLineItem ( scene->width(), 0 , scene->width(), scene->height() );
QGraphicsLineItem* line3 = new QGraphicsLineItem ( scene->width(), scene->height(), 0, scene->height() );
QGraphicsLineItem* line4 = new QGraphicsLineItem ( 0, 0, 0, scene->height() );

scene->addItem(line);
scene->addItem(line2);
scene->addItem(line3);
scene->addItem(line4);

setScene(scene);
}

void BackgroundView::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent *event)
{
//scene->setSceneRect(0, 0, event->size().width(), event->size().height());
QGraphicsView::resizeEvent(event);
}


main.cpp


#include <QApplication>
#include "backgroundview.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);


BackgroundView BgView;
BgView.showMaximized();

return app.exec();
}


When I remove the comment from the scene resize line, the window just close realy fast with an error. :mad:

How can I resize the scene to view every time the view was resized?

Thanks

Hi,

You have an error in your code:

You have declared the private members in the .h:

QGraphicsView *view;
QGraphicsScene *scene;

But then in the constructor you re-declare them as local:
QGraphicsView *view = new QGraphicsView();
QGraphicsScene *scene = new QGraphicsScene();

Here you did not initialize the private member scene so because you use it in resizeEvent. it crash.

To fix it:

You need to change those lines to:
view = new QGraphicsView(); //Initialize the private member view
scene = new QGraphicsScene(); //Initialize the private member scene

Here because you already initialize scene resizeEvent will not crash.

Why do you want to change the scene size when the view resizes? Maybe you want to zoom the scene instead of changing its coordinate range? Because I don't see any reasonable explanation why someone would want to do that.
