unable to translate QGraphicsView

[sven-kt]

hi,

do I have to set a flag or anything else if I want to use QGraphicsView->translate()
or why is it not working for me although rotate, scale and shear are working well.
I also tried with QTransform and QMatrix, but I got the same result:
on setTransform and setMatrix only rotate, scale and shear are visible.
I tried different SceneRectangles as well and dont know what else to try...

thanks a lot

yes the same thing i am trying for QTransform to rotate the view but no vain ..

in Qt demo chip application

they use QMatrix only to rotate the QGraphicsView()

see in chip/view.cpp

void View::setupMatrix()
{
    qreal scale = qPow(qreal(2), (zoomSlider->value() - 250) / qreal(50));
 
    QMatrix matrix;
    matrix.scale(scale, scale);
    matrix.rotate(rotateSlider->value());
 
    graphicsView->setMatrix(matrix);
    setResetButtonEnabled();
}

void View::setupMatrix()
{
    qreal scale = qPow(qreal(2), (zoomSlider->value() - 250) / qreal(50));

    QMatrix matrix;
    matrix.scale(scale, scale);
    matrix.rotate(rotateSlider->value());

    graphicsView->setMatrix(matrix);
    setResetButtonEnabled();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

i dont know why they dont use QTransform

sven,

I also tried using translate() and QMatrix but what finally worked was setting the two scrollbars' value; this works even if the scrollbars are turned off:

QScrollBar* myVScrollbar;
myVScrollbar = myView->verticalScrollBar();
myVScrollbar->setValue(myVScrollbar->value() + offsetValue);
 
QScrollBar* myHScrollbar;
myHScrollbar = myView->horizontalScrollBar();
myHScrollbar->setValue(myHScrollbar->value() + offsetValue);

QScrollBar* myVScrollbar;
myVScrollbar = myView->verticalScrollBar();
myVScrollbar->setValue(myVScrollbar->value() + offsetValue);

QScrollBar* myHScrollbar;
myHScrollbar = myView->horizontalScrollBar();
myHScrollbar->setValue(myHScrollbar->value() + offsetValue);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And subtract offsetValue to move in the opposite direction.

thanks,

moving the scrollbars works, but it doesnt look very precisely as well..

Thank you so much for your tip !

I had the same problem, i.e. QGraphicsView::translate() not working well.
In my case, I had to call it several times to observe a change... ? I tried different SceneRect() as well.

Moving the scrollbars works perfectly for me.
Thanks again
