## Detailed Description

The `QGraphicsRectItem` class provides a rectangle item that you can add to a `QGraphicsScene`.

To set the item's rectangle, pass a `QRectF` to `QGraphicsRectItem`'s constructor, or call the `setRect` function. The `rect` function returns the current rectangle.

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