QGraphicsRectItem subclass and mouseMoveEvent

[almo]

Hi!

I have a subclass of QGraphicsRectItem. The mouseMoveEvent handler looks like this:

void BTNodeGraphicsItem::mouseMoveEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent* event)
{
    QGraphicsRectItem::mouseMoveEvent(event);
    qDebug() << rect().x() << " " << rect().y();
}

void BTNodeGraphicsItem::mouseMoveEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent* event)
{
    QGraphicsRectItem::mouseMoveEvent(event);
    qDebug() << rect().x() << " " << rect().y();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The item drags like I expect. But the qDebug statement outputs the same coordinates as I drag it. Shouldn't the rect be changing as it is dragged?

OK, thanks again for looking! Here's what it turned out to be after quite a bit of messing around:

QPointF newCenter(mapToScene(rect().center().x(), rect().center().y()));
qDebug() << newCenter.x() << " " << newCenter.y();

QPointF newCenter(mapToScene(rect().center().x(), rect().center().y()));
qDebug() << newCenter.x() << " " << newCenter.y();
