How to place animated GIF on QGraphicsScene?

[Gourmet]

I have QGraphicsScene with QGraphicsItem-s. Now I need add animated images to some items. I created aniGIFs but don't see how to "attach" them to items. There is a way to show animated GIFs via QLabel with QMovie inside. But QLabel requires QWidget at least to define where to draw QLabel. I do not have any QWidget inside scene. QWidget and QGraphicsItem are independent drawing essences. They cannot mix. I tried inherit from both classes but got lots of errors even after MOC compiler.

How can I solve this? How animated GIF can be better placed on QGraphicsScene? Can this work if I create QWidget inside paint() event of my QGraphicsItem? Or there is any other lightweight way?

QMovie should be initialized with animated GIF, then QLabel::setMovie( QMovie ), QGraphicsProxyWidget must be initialized with parent QGraphicsItem then QGraphicsProxyWidget::setWidget( Qlabel). QGraphicsProxyWidget::setPos(X,Y) needed to set position of movie on QGraphicsItem. Finally call of QLabel::setAttribute(Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground) needed to allow transparent parts of GIF be transparent. All works.

An alternative could be to use QMovie together with a QGraphicsPixmapItem and updating the item whenever the movie indicates a frame change.
