QGraphicsView and animation framework

[Lykurg]

QGraphicsView in QGraphicsView doesn't sound like such a good idea.

Right! You can use the animation also outside the graphics view. You can use setGeometry() and arrange your widgets manually and after the animation you can set them back in a layout (if needed).

So which layout I should use? If I want to be able to move widget from outside of the window (hidden) to on top of the graphics view (which covers the whole window)?

Widgets can't be in a layout if you wish to move them. There is an alternative that you will implement your own layout class that will use the animation framework to synchronize moving widgets around.
