Is QGraphicsScene::sceneRect the actual size of the scene or is it just a ViewPort

Okay so what you are saying is that there should be a scene for each of the views but how do I then stream a live feed of the work being done on the Main View if the main view is tied to its own scene. And just for clarity is the concept of adding 4 pages in the main view and being able to navigate through them at a click of a button possible. I know that the design is flawed here but I am just not sure how.

You replicate the changes in the other scene.

You can do whatever you want

What I suggested in a different thread by this poster on the same overall design was that if each page were a separate QGraphicsItem, then these could all be placed in the same scene. If he wants to display only one of the pages in a particular QGraphicsView, then he should set that view's scene rect to match the rect occupied by the item in the scene's scene rect. To display all of the pages in a single view, then the view's scene rect should match the scene's scene rect.

I think part of the problem is that it looks like he has created all of the items with the same size and position in the QGraphicsScene, instead of following my suggestion to create them with a size of 1/4 the scene rect and position them side-by-side or in a 2 x 2 array. The scene rect should be sized to 4 times the page size, with the actual dimensions depending on the page arrangement.

Hmm... I always thought that modifying the view's scene rect modifies the scene's scene rect. Well, I learned something new today
