[virtual protected] void QGraphicsScene::drawItems(QPainter *painter, int numItems, QGraphicsItem *[] items, const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem [] options, QWidget *widget = nullptr)

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Paints the given items using the provided painter, after the background has been drawn, and before the foreground has been drawn. All painting is done in scene coordinates. Before drawing each item, the painter must be transformed using QGraphicsItem::sceneTransform().

The options parameter is the list of style option objects for each item in items. The numItems parameter is the number of items in items and options in options. The widget parameter is optional; if specified, it should point to the widget that is being painted on.

The default implementation prepares the painter matrix, and calls QGraphicsItem::paint() on all items. Reimplement this function to provide custom painting of all items for the scene; gaining complete control over how each item is drawn. In some cases this can increase drawing performance significantly.

Example:

 void CustomScene::drawItems(QPainter *painter, int numItems,
                             QGraphicsItem *items[],
                             const QStyleOptionGraphicsItem options[],
                             QWidget *widget)
 {
     for (int i = 0; i < numItems; ++i) {
          // Draw the item
          painter->save();
          painter->setTransform(items[i]->sceneTransform(), true);
          items[i]->paint(painter, &options[i], widget);
          painter->restore();
      }
 }

Since Qt 4.6, this function is not called anymore unless the QGraphicsView::IndirectPainting flag is given as an Optimization flag.

QGraphicsItem *QGraphicsScene::itemAt(const QPointF &position) const

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

This is an overloaded function.

Returns the topmost visible item at the specified position, or nullptr if there are no items at this position.

This function is deprecated and returns incorrect results if the scene contains items that ignore transformations. Use the overload that takes a QTransform instead.

Note: See items() for a definition of which items are considered visible by this function.

See also items(), collidingItems(), and Sorting.

QGraphicsItem *QGraphicsScene::itemAt(qreal x, qreal y) const

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

This is an overloaded function.

Returns the topmost visible item at the position specified by (x, y), or nullptr if there are no items at this position.

This convenience function is equivalent to calling itemAt(QPointF(x, y)).

This function is deprecated and returns incorrect results if the scene contains items that ignore transformations. Use the overload that takes a QTransform instead.

Note: See items() for a definition of which items are considered visible by this function.

QList<QGraphicsItem *> QGraphicsScene::items(qreal x, qreal y, qreal w, qreal h, Qt::ItemSelectionMode mode = Qt::IntersectsItemShape) const

This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

This convenience function is equivalent to calling items(QRectF(x, y, w, h), mode).

This function is deprecated and returns incorrect results if the scene contains items that ignore transformations. Use the overload that takes a QTransform instead.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.
