Class QGraphicsLayoutItem

      com.trolltech.qt.QSignalEmitter
          com.trolltech.qt.QtJambiObject
              com.trolltech.qt.gui.QGraphicsLayoutItem

All Implemented Interfaces:
  QGraphicsLayoutItemInterface, QtJambiInterface

    public abstract class QGraphicsLayoutItem

extends QtJambiObject
implements QGraphicsLayoutItemInterface

The `QGraphicsLayoutItem` class can be inherited to allow your custom items to be managed by layouts. `QGraphicsLayoutItem` is an abstract class that defines a set of virtual functions describing sizes, size policies, and size hints for any object arranged by `QGraphicsLayout`. The API contains functions relevant for both the item itself and for the user of the item as most of `QGraphicsLayoutItem`'s functions are also part of the subclass' public API.

In most cases, existing layout-aware classes such as `QGraphicsWidget` and `QGraphicsLayout` already provide the functionality you require. However, subclassing these classes will enable you to create both graphical elements that work well with layouts (`QGraphicsWidget`) or custom layouts (`QGraphicsLayout`).

## Subclassing QGraphicsLayoutItem

If you create a subclass of `QGraphicsLayoutItem` and reimplement its virtual functions, you will enable the layout to resize and position your item along with other `QGraphicsLayoutItems` including `QGraphicsWidget` and `QGraphicsLayout`.

You can start by reimplementing important functions: the protected `sizeHint()` function, as well as the public `setGeometry()` function. If you want your items to be aware of immediate geometry changes, you can also reimplement `updateGeometry()`.

The geometry, size hint, and size policy affect the item's size and position. Calling `setGeometry()` will always resize and reposition the item immediately. Normally, this function is called by `QGraphicsLayout` after the layout has been activated, but it can also be called by the item's user at any time.

The `sizeHint()` function returns the item' minimum, preferred and maximum size hints. You can override these properties by calling `setMinimumSize()`, `setPreferredSize()` or `setMaximumSize()`. You can also use functions such as `setMinimumWidth()` or `setMaximumHeight()` to set only the width or height component if desired.

The `effectiveSizeHint()` function, on the other hand, returns a size hint for any given `Qt::SizeHint` , and guarantees that the returned size is bound to the minimum and maximum sizes and size hints. You can set the item's vertical and horizontal size policy by calling `setSizePolicy()`. The `sizePolicy` property is used by the layout system to describe how this item prefers to grow or shrink.

## Nesting QGraphicsLayoutItems

`QGraphicsLayoutItems` can be nested within other `QGraphicsLayoutItems`, similar to layouts that can contain sublayouts. This is done either by passing a `QGraphicsLayoutItem` pointer to `QGraphicsLayoutItem`'s protected constructor, or by calling `setParentLayoutItem()`. The `parentLayoutItem()` function returns a pointer to the item's `layoutItem` parent. If the item's parent is 0 or if the the parent does not inherit from `QGraphicsItem`, the `parentLayoutItem()` function then returns 0. `isLayout()` returns true if the `QGraphicsLayoutItem` subclass is itself a layout, or false otherwise.

Qt uses `QGraphicsLayoutItem` to provide layout functionality in the The Graphics View Framework, but in the future its use may spread throughout Qt itself.

  `QGraphicsWidget`, `QGraphicsLayout`, `QGraphicsLinearLayout`, and `QGraphicsGridLayout`.

Constructor Detail

### QGraphicsLayoutItem

    public QGraphicsLayoutItem(QGraphicsLayoutItemInterface parent)

  Constructs the `QGraphicsLayoutItem` object. `parent` becomes the object's parent. If `isLayout` is true the item is a layout, otherwise `isLayout` is false.

### QGraphicsLayoutItem

    public QGraphicsLayoutItem()

  Constructs the `QGraphicsLayoutItem` object. `parent` becomes the object's parent. If `isLayout` is true the item is a layout, otherwise `isLayout` is false.

### QGraphicsLayoutItem

    public QGraphicsLayoutItem(QGraphicsLayoutItemInterface parent,
                               boolean isLayout)

  Constructs the `QGraphicsLayoutItem` object. `parent` becomes the object's parent. If `isLayout` is true the item is a layout, otherwise `isLayout` is false.

Method Detail

### contentsRect

    public final QRectF contentsRect()

  Returns the contents rect in local coordinates.

  The contents rect defines the subrectangle used by an associated layout when arranging subitems. This function is a convenience function that adjusts the item's `geometry()` by its contents margins. Note that `getContentsMargins()` is a virtual function that you can reimplement to return the item's contents margins.

See also:
  `getContentsMargins()`, and `geometry()`.

  Specified by:
    `contentsRect` in interface `QGraphicsLayoutItemInterface`

### effectiveSizeHint

    public final QSizeF effectiveSizeHint(Qt.SizeHint which)

  Returns the effective size hint for this `QGraphicsLayoutItem`.

  `which` is the size hint in question. `constraint` is an optional argument that defines a special constrain when calculating the effective size hint. By default, `constraint` is `QSizeF`(-1, -1), which means there is no constraint to the size hint.

  If you want to specify the widget's size hint for a given width or height, you can provide the fixed dimension in `constraint`. This is useful for widgets that can grow only either vertically or horizontally, and need to set either their width or their height to a special value.

  For example, a text paragraph item fit into a column width of 200 may grow vertically. You can pass `QSizeF`(200, -1) as a constraint to get a suitable minimum, preferred and maximum height).

  You can adjust the effective size hint by reimplementing `sizeHint()` in a `QGraphicsLayoutItem` subclass, or by calling one of the following functions: `setMinimumSize()`, `setPreferredSize`, or `setMaximumSize()` (or a combination of both).

  This function caches each of the size hints and guarantees that `sizeHint()` will be called only once for each value of `which` - unless `constraint` is not specified and `updateGeometry()` has been called.

See also:
  `sizeHint()`.

### effectiveSizeHint

    public final QSizeF effectiveSizeHint(Qt.SizeHint which,
                                          QSizeF constraint)

  Returns the effective size hint for this `QGraphicsLayoutItem`.

  `which` is the size hint in question. `constraint` is an optional argument that defines a special constrain when calculating the effective size hint. By default, `constraint` is `QSizeF`(-1, -1), which means there is no constraint to the size hint.
