QGraphicsScene and View

[bikonja]

Hello guys, this is yet another topic about coordinates.
im making a tetris game and i'm having some trouble setting up the scene.
i'm aware of the documentation, but learning another library on my own is quite new to me, and im kind of lost in all those words.

consider the following code

myRect::myRect(QGraphicsItem *parent) : QGraphicsItem(parent)
{
       setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsFocusable);
}
 
QRectF myRect::boundingRect() const
{
    return QRectF(0,0,50,50);
}
 
void myRect::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event)
{
    switch( event->key())
    {
    case Qt::Key_Left:{
        setPos(x()-10,y());
       checkBounds();
        break;
        }
    case Qt::Key_Right:{
        setPos(x()+10,y());
       checkBounds();
        break;
        }
    case Qt::Key_Up:{
        setPos(x(),y()-10);
       checkBounds();
        break;
        }
    case Qt::Key_Down:{
        setPos(x(),y()+10);
        checkBounds();
        break;
        }
    }
    update();
}
 
void myRect::checkBounds()
{
    if (x() < 0)
      {
          setPos(0, y());
      }
      else if (x() + boundingRect().right() > scene()->width())
      {
          setPos(scene()->width() - boundingRect().width(), y());
      }
 
      if (y() < 0)
      {
          setPos(x(), 0);
      }
      else if ( y()+ boundingRect().bottom() > scene()->height())
      {
          setPos(x(), scene()->height() - boundingRect().height());
      }
}
 
void myRect::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem *option, QWidget *widget)
{
    painter->setBrush(Qt::yellow);
    painter->drawRoundRect(0,0,50,50,5,5);
}

myRect::myRect(QGraphicsItem *parent) : QGraphicsItem(parent)
{
       setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsFocusable);
}

QRectF myRect::boundingRect() const
{
    return QRectF(0,0,50,50);
}

void myRect::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event)
{
    switch( event->key())
    {
    case Qt::Key_Left:{
        setPos(x()-10,y());
       checkBounds();
        break;
        }
    case Qt::Key_Right:{
        setPos(x()+10,y());
       checkBounds();
        break;
        }
    case Qt::Key_Up:{
        setPos(x(),y()-10);
       checkBounds();
        break;
        }
    case Qt::Key_Down:{
        setPos(x(),y()+10);
        checkBounds();
        break;
        }
    }
    update();
}

void myRect::checkBounds()
{
    if (x() < 0)
      {
          setPos(0, y());
      }
      else if (x() + boundingRect().right() > scene()->width())
      {
          setPos(scene()->width() - boundingRect().width(), y());
      }

      if (y() < 0)
      {
          setPos(x(), 0);
      }
      else if ( y()+ boundingRect().bottom() > scene()->height())
      {
          setPos(x(), scene()->height() - boundingRect().height());
      }
}

void myRect::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem *option, QWidget *widget)
{
    painter->setBrush(Qt::yellow);
    painter->drawRoundRect(0,0,50,50,5,5);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent) :
    QWidget(parent),
    ui(new Ui::Widget)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    scene = new QGraphicsScene();
    ui->view->setScene(scene);
    scene->setSceneRect(0,0,ui->view->frameSize().width(),
                        ui->view->frameSize().height());
    rect = new myRect;
    scene->addItem(rect);
    rect->setPos(scene->width()/2,0);
    rect->setFocus();
 
}

Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent) :
    QWidget(parent),
    ui(new Ui::Widget)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    scene = new QGraphicsScene();
    ui->view->setScene(scene);
    scene->setSceneRect(0,0,ui->view->frameSize().width(),
                        ui->view->frameSize().height());
    rect = new myRect;
    scene->addItem(rect);
    rect->setPos(scene->width()/2,0);
    rect->setFocus();

}

so my question(s) is this.

i'm under the impresion my scene should have the same dimensions and the view.
but when i add my item on the scene it aint possitioned in the middle.
can someone explain to me whats going on here?

also.

lets say i want to have 8 columns on my board and 16 rows for block movement.

so my I block could be placed 2 times horizontally rotated on the board, and 8 times vertically.

excuse me for my paint skills.

can you help me out with setting that up?

The proper size for your scene is more likely ui->view->viewport()->size(). Just remember widgets get their size set only after they become visible for the first time. So you need to set the scene size when the view is visible, e.g. during the view's resizeEvent. Alternatively make your scene have fixed size and scale it to the view in resize event using scaleToFit().

Hmm, well tbh that didn't help me much.

I used my designer to make the widget fixed size, and used the designer as well to create a QGraphicsview, which i also made fixed size.
So i wont have any resize events afaik.

for example my widget is 300x520,
and when i do
scene->setSceneRect(0,0,ui->view->frameSize().width(),ui->view->frameSize().height());

i have a feeling my scene aint identical to my view.

this game will be as blunt as possible, so i dont need any magic here.

can you just help me understand how to set up the board as i mentioned in the first post?

thx

You will have at least one.

scene->setSceneRect(0,0,ui->view->frameSize().width(),ui->view->frameSize().height());

Because you ignored what I have written in my previous post. After construction the widget size is invalid. So it's frame size is likely invalid as well. You had checked it before writing this post, right?

can you just help me understand how to set up the board as i mentioned in the first post?

I have already done that.
