Pyside2 How can i move box?

Question

I want to move my SimpleItem object if I move mouse pressing left button. I have successed getting the position of mouse cursor if I press the object. but I have no idea how

Answer 1

In the case of the QGraphicsXXXItem it is not necessary to overwrite any method to enable the movement, it is enough to enable the flag QGraphicsItem::ItemIsMovable.

import sys
from PySide2 import QtGui, QtWidgets, QtCore


class SimpleItem(QtWidgets.QGraphicsItem):
    def __init__(self):
        QtWidgets.QGraphicsItem.__init__(self)
        self.setFlag(QtWidgets.QGraphicsItem.ItemIsMovable, True)

    def boundingRect(self):
        penWidth = 1.0
        return QtCore.QRectF(-10 - penWidth / 2, -10 - penWidth / 2,
                      20 + penWidth, 20 + penWidth)

    def paint(self, painter, option, widget):
        rect = self.boundingRect()
        painter.drawRect(rect)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    scene = QtWidgets.QGraphicsScene()
    item = SimpleItem()
    scene.addItem(item)
    view = QtWidgets.QGraphicsView(scene)
    view.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
