QGraphicsView question

[sincnarf]

can QGraphicsView hold several QGraphicsScenes at a time? or it's only true for QGraphicsItems?

[a_m_mukul]

QGraphicsView can't hold many QGraphicsScenes simultaneously.

And QGraphicsItems are related to QGraphicsScene not QGraphicsView.

The exact scenario is as follows:

- QGraphicsScene may contains single or multiple graphicsItems.
- One graphicsview can display only one graphicsscene at a time.

can QGraphicsView hold several QGraphicsScenes at a time?

No, a QGraphicsView represents a single QGraphicsScene. You can adjust QGraphicsItem::zValue() if you want to make layers.

Also, you can have multiples scenes in memory and change them in the GraphicsView

Technically it's possible to write a QGraphicsSceneItem, if you want multiple scenes inside the same view. If you don't mind skipping the scrollbars, you do have everything available in QGraphicsScene's API to make an item:

QGraphicsItem::boundingRect: returns anything suitable / a subscene rect.
QGraphicsItem:aint: calls QGraphicsScene::render().

We actually have a registered suggestion for such an item, and we might provide one for 4.4.
