## 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 setPath(). path() 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 setPen() and setBrush().

See also QGraphicsRectItem, QGraphicsEllipseItem, QGraphicsPolygonItem, QGraphicsTextItem, QGraphicsLineItem, QGraphicsPixmapItem, and The Graphics View Framework.

## Member Function Documentation

### QGraphicsPathItem::QGraphicsPathItem ( QGraphicsItem * parent = 0, QGraphicsScene * scene = 0 )

Constructs a QGraphicsPath. parent and scene are passed to QAbstractGraphicsShapeItem's constructor.

### QGraphicsPathItem::QGraphicsPathItem ( const QPainterPath & path, QGraphicsItem * parent = 0, QGraphicsScene * scene = 0 )

Constructs a QGraphicsPath item using path as the default path. parent and scene are passed to QAbstractGraphicsShapeItem's constructor.

### QGraphicsPathItem::~QGraphicsPathItem ()

Destroys the QGraphicsPathItem.

### QPainterPath QGraphicsPathItem::path () const

Returns the item's path as a QPainterPath. If no item has been set, an empty QPainterPath is returned.

### void QGraphicsPathItem::setPath ( const QPainterPath & path )

Sets the item's path to path.
