Paint QGraphicsItem problem

[dreamer]

I'd like to perform a custom painting of my qgraphicsrectitem.
I don't understand the why the Rect is painted, using this code:

void paint (QPainter * painter, const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem * option, QWidget * widget){
	QPen p=painter->pen();
	painter->setPen(Qt::NoPen);
	QGraphicsRectItem::paint(painter,option,widget);
 
/*My Custom Painting*/
 
}

void paint (QPainter * painter, const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem * option, QWidget * widget){
	QPen p=painter->pen();
	painter->setPen(Qt::NoPen);
	QGraphicsRectItem::paint(painter,option,widget);

/*My Custom Painting*/

}

The QGraphicsRectItem has it's pen attribute and use it to draw it's shape.

you can do this

void MyRectItem::paint (QPainter * painter, 
        const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem * option, 
        QWidget * widget)
{
    QPen p=this->pen();
    this->setPen(QPen(Qt::NoPen));
    QGraphicsRectItem::paint(painter,option,widget);
 
    this->setPen(p);
 
/*My Custom Painting*/
}

void MyRectItem::paint (QPainter * painter, 
        const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem * option, 
        QWidget * widget)
{
    QPen p=this->pen();
    this->setPen(QPen(Qt::NoPen));
    QGraphicsRectItem::paint(painter,option,widget);

    this->setPen(p);

/*My Custom Painting*/
}

You are using - painter->setPen(Qt::NoPen);
How come u are getting a rect drawn ?? Or u mean the rect shape is filled ??

Theres a difference between pen and brush. Brush is used to fill the shape, while pen is used to draw lines/shape.
