If these are regular items, you have to position them yourself by reacting on changes in scene/view dimensions. If they are graphics widgets items then there is a layout class for them available.

How about changing the base class as QGraphicsWidget? If they are custom graphics items in the sense that you're not using various built-in types like QGraphicsRectItem, QGraphicsPixmapItem etc. but they're direct subclasses of QGraphicsItem, it's only a matter of changing the base class type. Then you could easily start using QGraphicsGridLayout.
