Have you wondered what happens when multiple items are painted in the same area of the scene? Let's try to do this:
QGraphicsEllipseItem *item1 = scene.addEllipse(0, 0, 100, 50); item1->setBrush(Qt::red); QGraphicsEllipseItem *item2 = scene.addEllipse(50, 0, 100, 50); item2->setBrush(Qt::green); QGraphicsEllipseItem *item3 = scene.addEllipse(0, 25, 100, 50); item3->setBrush(Qt::blue); QGraphicsEllipseItem *item4 = scene.addEllipse(50, 25, 100, 50); item4->setBrush(Qt::gray);
By default, items are painted in the order they were added, so the last item will be displayed in front of the others:
However, you can change the z-order ...
