    Default Screenshot only for the rect of certain items on the scene

    Hi,

    I am trying to make a screenshot/Pixmap out of certain graphicItems on a QGraphicsScene object like this:

    Qt Code:
    1.  
    2. foreach(QPointer<ListOfItems> item, itemsToPrint.list())
    3. {
    4. itemGroup->addToGroup(item);
    5. }
    6.  
    7. QRectF selectionRect = itemGroup->boundingRect();
    8. QPixmap image(selectionRect.width(), selectionRect.height());
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Then render the image and I hoped that it will render/print in the screenshot only the items I need to. But instead of that, the screnshot that is created is fuzzy (nothing visible is shown properly), and the items from the main scene disappear

    How can I make screenshot of part of the scene over the boundingRect of items that match some criteria? any example on this?

    thanks

    Now you are creating an empty pixmap (with undetermined contents) that is the size of the selection. You probably want to use QGraphicsScene::render()

    ok, but why the topics do disappear when I add them to qgraphicsgroupitem object? :S

    Because the group is not part of the scene. I'm not sure why you're adding that group in the first place.

    Well... how can I get the boundingRect only for the items on the scene that match my criteria? :/ I don't need a boundingRect for all of the items on the scene, just for some of them..

    Even if I create new QGraphicsScene object and then add these items via QGraphicsScene::addItem(..) the topics disappear :s.

    isn't there any example on this matter? thanks wysota.

    Unite the rects of all interesting items.

    Ok I hope this is my last reply since I am not getting the needed results, but I am close to it.

    Qt Code:
    1. QRectF shotRect = item.current().boundingRect();
    2. foreach(ItemType item, itemsList)
    3. {
    4. shotRect = shotRect.united(item->boundingRect());
    5. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    now, as I read in the doc, shotRect should unite all of the rects that are in the itemsList list object. But it always has the value of the rect of biggest item on the scene. which is not what I need. what am I not doing right?

    thanks sorry (graphics seem a little heavy for me )

    The code seems correct. Please provide a minimal compilable example reproducing the problem - then we can work on it to find the problem on your side.
