I encountered a strange issue/feature when I try to rotate a QGraphicsSvgItem
object and set a position.
Check the following example:
I have one .svg
for the sake of simplicity that is a blue rectangle. I create two QGraphicsSvgItem
using the file and I rotate on of them with 90 degree. I set both of them to the same position, however the rotated one positioned 'wrongly'(maybe that is the correct behaviour). It looks like that the x,y coordinate(top-left corner) is now the top-right corner, remains like that it is not rotated. It looks strange from my viewpoint, I expect that when I rotate and set the position the 'first point' of the shape should be where the shape 'starts'.
I hope with the source code is more understandable that I wrote above:
SVGDom *bubbleDom = shadowgram->bubble();
_bubble = new DrawableSvgItem(sh->message(), bubbleDom->byteArray());
this->addItem(_bubble);
_bubble->setPos((this->width()-_bubble->sceneBoundingRect().width()) / 2, (this->height() - _bubble->sceneBoundingRect().height()) / 2);
qDebug() <<"Bubble pos: " << _bubble->pos();
qDebug() <<"Bubble boundindRect: " << _bubble->boundingRect();
qDebug() << "Bubble rect: " <<_bubble->sceneBoundingRect();
qDebug() << "Bubble topleft: " <<_bubble->sceneBoundingRect().topLeft();
DrawableSvgItem *bubble2 = new DrawableSvgItem(sh->message(), bubbleDom->byteArray());
this->addItem(bubble2);
bubble2->setRotation(90);
bubble2->setPos(_bubble->pos());
qDebug() << "Bubble2 pos: " << bubble2->pos();
qDebug() <<"Bubble2 boundindRect: " << bubble2->boundingRect();
qDebug() << "Bubble2 rect: " <<bubble2->sceneBoundingRect();
qDebug() <<"Bubble2 topleft: " << bubble2->sceneBoundingRect().topLeft();
DrawableSvgItem is only an extension of QGraphicsSvgItem, I created for drawing sourcepaths into the item. Currently I am not using it.
Output:
Bubble pos: QPointF(413.5, 297)
Bubble boundindRect: QRectF(0,0 171x117)
Bubble rect: QRectF(296.5,297 117x171)
Bubble topleft: QPointF(296.5, 297)
Bubble2 pos: QPointF(413.5, 297)
Bubble2 boundindRect: QRectF(0,0 171x117)
Bubble2 rect: QRectF(411.458,297 173.016x119.967)
Bubble2 topleft: QPointF(411.458, 297)
In pictures, I expect the following:
But I got the following image:
I found a similar problem here.
