Printable View
HI,
I have been having some problems with graphics view.I tried to create a view which has 100 items.My problems are as follows:
1)Any small change sresults in 8 paint events.Can I somehow minimise them??
2)I would like to update only a part of the view sometimes can i do it??
Well, without knowing your sourcecode, no one can say that.Quote:

Please have a look at the docs QGraphicsView::ViewportUpdateMode and QWidget::update( const QRect & r )Quote:

The view is by default updated only in those parts that map to the part of the scene containing modified items.Quote:

My problem is ,I have QGraphicsItems in the scene.When I try to update one of them, paint event is generated for it.And when it updates it self, for some reason its generating paint event fpr other items.I would like to minimise this, either to one paint event where all of them are updated at one time or that only th eitem I want is updated.
Aare there any tips and tricks to improve graphics view performance.When i start scrolling for example:
there are about 3 paint for each graphics items which is killing the performance.
I have created a scrollable area myself which inherits from QGraphicsWidget, Graphics items are added to this.but this multi paint events on the same items is proving costly during scrolling and even when application is being launched
This would suggest the boundingRect() for the item is defined incorrectly.Quote:

Hard to say exactly what is going on without seeing the code. But you may play around with QGraphicsItem::setCacheMode(), maybe it helps.Quote:

Can't you use what the graphics view offers? If you make your scene bigger than the view, scrollbars will appear by themselves. The reason for the behaviour you observe might be related to the fact that you use QGraphicsProxyWidget (if you do).Quote:

Hi,
The problem is That I have a structure like this:
I have a QGraphicsWdget which is more or less acting as a container for all me items.
Than I have used qgridlayout and added all me items to it .this gridlayout is than set as child to the qgraphicswidget.
Now when i update any thing,its trying to paint all the scene items.I saw that using cache to gQGraphicItem would reduce repainting.
If so than where would be the best place to have it,QGraphicsWidget or to the items themselves??
That's probably the graphics widget item has to be repainted and that forces a repaint of all items that occupy its boundingRect() which means all items in your case.Quote:
