I try to use QGraphicsView to display a map with some QGraphicItem-subclass showing region centers of the map. Conceptually, I organize the map as follow:
QGraphicsView
QGraphicsScene
QGraphicsPixmapItem : background image, fixed until next call of loadSetting
QGraphicsRectItem : legend, position relative to bg is fixed throughout app
QGraphicsEllipseItem : region centers
I want the map to behave as follow:
- no scrollbars to be displayed, and the background image fillup all the visible area of the view/scene.
- when the widget is re-sized, the QGraphics*Items will re-size themselves accordingly (as if the view is zoomed)
relative positions of QGraphicsEllipseItems, remain fixed until next call of loadSetting()
Now I have problem in getting the background image displayed properly.
Constructor [I'm adding this view to a QTabWidget directly: myTab->addTab("name", my_view_); ]
MyView::MyView(QWidget *parent) : QGraphicsView(parent) {
bg_pixmap_ = new QGraphicsPixmapItem();
legend_ = new MapLegend();
setScene(new QGraphicsScene(this));
scene()->addItem(bg_pixmap_);
scene()->addItem(legend_);
}
Load map setting (during program execution, this method may be invoked multiple times)
void MyView::loadSetting(Config* cfg) {
if (!cfg) return;
/* (a) */
scene()->clearFocus();
scene()->clearSelection();
for (int i = 0; i < symbols_.size(); i++)
scene()->removeItem(symbols_[i]);
qDeleteAll(symbols_);
symbols_.clear();
/* (a) */
/* (b) */
background_ = QPixmap(QString::fromStdString(cfg->district_map));
bg_pixmap_->setPixmap(background_);
for (size_t i = 0; i < cfg->centers.size(); i++) {
qreal x = cfg->centers[i].first * background_.width();
qreal y = cfg->centers[i].second * background_.height();
MapSymbol* item = new MapSymbol(x, y, 10);
symbols_.append(item);
scene()->addItem(item);
}
/* (b) */
update();
}
Questions
Now all items except the 'bg_pixmap_' got displayed, and I checked the 'background_' variable that it loads the image correctly. Is there anything I missed?
How do I implement the resizeEvent of MyView to cope with the desired 'resize-strategy'?
