How to set QGraphicsScene to a specific coordinate system

[wysota]

Hi,

I used m_scene->setSceneRect(-180, -90, 360, 180) in union with graphicsView->scale(1, -1); and the coordinate system is fine. However if I maximize the windows the qGraphisView covers almost all screen and the coordinates at the extreme of the graphicsView are outside -180 <----> 180 horizontally and outside -90 <------> 90 vertically. How can I make the QGraphicsScene or the qGraphisView to always keep the extremes in -180 to 180 and 90 to -90? Something like if I maximize the windows not increase the boundaries but zoom into the boundaries.

Thanks for your help.

Reimplement resizeEvent for the view and call QGraphicsView::fitInView() passing the rect you want matched in the view.

This works just fine, but then you run into the problem that if you use the default, the aspect ratio changes, the font scaling gets strange, and the plot just gets ugly. I had to jump through a lot of hoops to get an x-y plot look "normal" no matter what size window it was in. Using Qt::KeepAspectRatio makes it a bit better, but then you must reposition the scene by using QGraphicsView::centerOn().

Nobody said anyone was to use any defaults. There are three values to pass for the argument to fitInView and trying all of them is not that hard. The method does exactly what it name says -- it makes sure a specific rectangle matches the view. it says nothing about what the view gets centred on.
