## Detailed Description

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.
