QGraphicsSvgItem cut in half vertically when view is scaled?

[droneone]

Hi all,

I'm having an issue which I can't seem to get to the bottom of. I have a an SVG image, in this case, having contents which are a rectangle that is 100x300 units (1:3 ratio). I have also drawn a grid every 100 units in my view. Whenever my view is scaled so that the scene displayed is below a certain size (700 vertical pixels), my SVG image gets cut in half vertically, even though the SVG is within the center of the scene. From this point on when scaling further out, the ratio of the SVG image stays 1:1.5 until I go above a scene display size of 700 px.

Any ideas on what's causing this, and how to resolve it? I've included some screen captures and the code for the view below.

Added after 1 50 minutes:

The problem, it turns out, was that half of the rectangle in the svg image was located below the lower boundary of the SVG image (had a final height + y start position value > image height). For smaller scene resolutions, it wouldn't show content outside of the svg image boundaries, but for larger ones it would.

If you find yourself here in the future, googling for an answer: fix your svg content =)
