    Default problem in QLinef()

    hi friends ,
    i need a help to clarify my doubt in QLineF() .. i dont know where i am commiting the mistake ..

    in mainwindow.cpp (QGraphicsView())
    i create a line item class ....
    Qt Code:
    1. line1 = new LineItem(QLineF(2,4, 132 ,160), Qt::blue);
    2. line1->setPos(374,215);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    and
    in lineitem.cpp
    Qt Code:
    1. LineItem::LineItem(const QLineF &line, const Qt::GlobalColor color)
    2. color(color)
    3.  
    4. void LineItem ::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem *option, QWidget *)
    5. {
    6. painter->setPen(QColor(color));
    7. QReal value = 90;
    8. line().setAngle(value);
    9. painter->drawLine(line());
    10. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    here the line is drawn perfectly but i cant fix the angle ... its not turning in counter clockwise ... not like transform.rotate .. why ?

    please help ...

    You shouldn't change the angle like that. The paint() routine should always paint the item the same way, regardless of its actual position or rotation on the scene. If you want to rotate the line, use rotate() on the item, but still draw the item as if it was in its original direction (i.e. horizontal).
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    thanks for reply ..
    transform.rotate(90) is working fine ... but how can i use this QLineF::setAngle() function ... where can i implement it ..

    hi friends,
    i try using QTransform as

    in mainwindow.cpp (GraphicsView())
    Qt Code:
    1. line1 = new LineItem(QLineF(2,4, 132 ,160), Qt::blue, 90); //creating an lineItem in scene
    2. line1->setPos(374,215); //settting the line position in screen
    3. scene->addItem(line1);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    in lineitem.cpp
    Qt Code:
    1. LineItem::LineItem(const QLineF &line, const Qt::GlobalColor color, qreal angle)
    2. color(color) //constuctor
    3. {
    4. qreal value = angle;
    5. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Qt Code:
    1. void LineItem ::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem *option, QWidget *)
    2. {
    3. QTransform transform;
    4. painter->setPen(QColor(color));
    5. if(value){
    6. transform.translate(300,300); // here comes the problem
    7. transform.rotate(value);
    8. painter->setTransform(transform);
    9. painter->drawLine(line());
    10. }else{
    11. line().setAngle(value);
    12. painter->drawLine(line());
    13. }
    14. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    in this program if the user send the the angle of rotation the line with the same coordinates i try to rotate ... but without this
    transform.translate(x,y); i cant see the line ... more the
    Qt Code:
    1. line1->setPos(374,215); // graphicasScene
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    this value also not working .. why ? it is defaulter to top left of the screen ...

    but if there is no angle argument like
    Qt Code:
    1. line1 = new LineItem(QLineF(2,4, 132 ,160), Qt::blue ); //without angle argument
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    its working fine ... i can setPos() the item ... why? ..

    please help

    Don't use it with QGraphicsLineItem, it doesn't make much sense to do so in this context. Rotate the item, not the line within it.

    thanks .. i will rotate the item as
    Qt Code:

    2. transform.rotate(90);
    3. line1 = new LineItem(QLineF(1,1, 132 ,160), Qt::blue, 90);
    4. scene->addItem(line1);
    5. line1->setPos(574,415);
    6. line1->setTransform(transform);
