[PyQt] Connecting two QGraphicsItems

[Mads]

Hi marcell

well in fact what I need is having, saying, three circles placed on one line of a rectangle. So when the rectangles is added there will be attached 3 circles to a specific line(see below bad drawing). 

---o----o----o---

-------------------

each item needs to have separate functionality, so you should be able to set different attributes on each item. Is the createItemGroup, still the best way forward?

thanks

mads

QGraphicsScene has method createItemGroup:

http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qgraphicsscene.html#createItemGroup

and by setFlag method you set QGraphicsItem.ItemIsMovable flag...

http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qgraphicsitem.html#setFlag




so your code could look like this:

myItemGroup = myScene.createItemGroup([myGraphicsItem, myEllipseItem])
myItemGroup.setFlag(QGraphicsItem.ItemIsMovable)

hope it helps..
