The QGraphicsPathItem class provides a path item that you can add to a QGraphicsScene.

To set the item's path, pass a QPainterPath to QGraphicsPathItem's constructor, or call the setPath() function. The path() function returns the current path.

QGraphicsPathItem uses the path to provide a reasonable implementation of boundingRect(), shape(), and contains(). The paint() function draws the path using the item's associated pen and brush, which you can set by calling the setPen() and setBrush() functions.

Method Documentation

QGraphicsPathItem.__init__ (self, QGraphicsItem parent = None, QGraphicsScene scene = None)

The parent argument, if not None, causes self to be owned by Qt instead of PyQt.

The scene argument, if not None, causes self to be owned by Qt instead of PyQt.

Constructs a QGraphicsPath. parent is passed to QAbstractGraphicsShapeItem's constructor.

See also QGraphicsScene.addItem().

QGraphicsPathItem.__init__ (self, QPainterPath path, QGraphicsItem parent = None, QGraphicsScene scene = None)

The parent argument, if not None, causes self to be owned by Qt instead of PyQt.

The scene argument, if not None, causes self to be owned by Qt instead of PyQt.

Constructs a QGraphicsPath item using path as the default path. parent is passed to QAbstractGraphicsShapeItem's constructor.

See also QGraphicsScene.addItem().

QRectF QGraphicsPathItem.boundingRect (self)

bool QGraphicsPathItem.contains (self, QPointF point)

bool QGraphicsPathItem.isObscuredBy (self, QGraphicsItem item)

QPainterPath QGraphicsPathItem.opaqueArea (self)

QGraphicsPathItem.paint (self, QPainter painter, QStyleOptionGraphicsItem option, QWidget widget = None)

QPainterPath QGraphicsPathItem.path (self)

Returns the item's path as a QPainterPath. If no item has been set, an empty QPainterPath is returned.

See also setPath().

QGraphicsPathItem.setPath (self, QPainterPath path)

Sets the item's path to be the given path.
