Question

I subclassed QGraphicsScene and added method mouseMoveEvent to handle mouse move event. I created a ruler on top of GraphicsView and have the ruler tracking mouse movement. In t

I've been asking, and in some place found some useful information, and testing write this:

tgs.cpp:

#include 
#include "tgs.h"
#define _alto  300
#define _ancho 700
#include 

TGs::TGs(QObject *parent)
    :QGraphicsScene(parent)
{ // Constructor of Scene
    this->over = false;
}

void TGs::drawBackground(QPainter *painter, const QRectF &rect)
{

#define adjy 30
#define adjx 30

    int j = 0;
    int alto = 0;

    QPen pen;
    pen.setWidth(1);
    pen.setBrush(Qt::lightGray);
    painter->setPen(pen);   

    painter->drawText(-225, 10, this->str);
    alto = _alto;  // 50 + 2

    for(int i = 0; i < alto; ++i)
    {
        j = i * adjy - 17;

        painter->drawLine(QPoint(-210, j), QPoint(_ancho, j));
    }

    for(int i = 0; i < 300; ++i)
    {
        j = i * adjx - 210;

        painter->drawLine(QPoint(j, 0), QPoint(j, _ancho * 2));
    }
}

void TGs::mouseMoveEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *mouseEvent)
{
    QString string = QString("%1, %2")
               .arg(mouseEvent->scenePos().x())
              .arg(mouseEvent->scenePos().y()); // Update the cursor position text
    this->str = string;
    this->update();
}

void TGs::mousePressEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event)
{
    this->update();
}

void TGs::mouseReleaseEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event)
{
    this->update();
}
