Hi,

I'm new here and also quite new to Qt4 programming. So far I didn't have any problems with Qt, it is very nice and easy to work with. But now I have stumbled upon a problem, that I'm not sure how to solve best and I hope someone will be able to help me.

I've started working on a KDE4/Qt4 client called Parsek for playing Thousand Parsec games (similar to Stars! or Galactic Civilizations). In the game you connect to server and you can fetch a list of objects (like stars, planets, spaceships/fleets) in the universe. These objects can be stored in Qt's model/view programming classes.

Now I would like to use this model with objects and display the objects in 2D using QGraphicsView and related classes in addition to treeview of the universe. What I would like to know is if this is the right way to go here. I did quite some reading about model/view programming and QGraphicsView and as far as I could understand QGraphicsView wasn't designed to be simply plugged in as view for the models.

So it would be great if someone could tell me if I'm thinking in the right direction and if there are any tips or tricks for making this work together. Are there any tutorials that would be usefull in my case. Thanks in advance for all your help.
