## Detailed Description

The QGraphicsGridLayout class provides a grid layout for managing widgets in Graphics View.

The most common way to use QGraphicsGridLayout is to construct an object on the heap with no parent, add widgets and layouts by calling addItem(), and finally assign the layout to a widget by calling QGraphicsWidget.setLayout(). QGraphicsGridLayout automatically computes the dimensions of the grid as you add items.

     QGraphicsScene scene;
     QGraphicsWidget *textEdit = scene.addWidget(new QTextEdit);
     QGraphicsWidget *pushButton = scene.addWidget(new QPushButton);

     QGraphicsGridLayout *layout = new QGraphicsGridLayout;
     layout->addItem(textEdit, 0, 0);
     layout->addItem(pushButton, 0, 1);

     QGraphicsWidget *form = new QGraphicsWidget;
     form->setLayout(layout);
     scene.addItem(form);

The layout takes ownership of the items. In some cases when the layout item also inherits from QGraphicsItem (such as QGraphicsWidget) there will be a ambiguity in ownership because the layout item belongs to two ownership hierarchies. See the documentation of QGraphicsLayoutItem.setOwnedByLayout() how to handle this. You can access each item in the layout by calling count() and itemAt(). Calling removeAt() will remove an item from the layout, without destroying it.

## Method Documentation

### QGraphicsGridLayout.__init__ (self, QGraphicsLayoutItem parent = None)

The parent argument, if not None, causes self to be owned by Qt instead of PyQt.

Constructs a QGraphicsGridLayout instance. parent is passed to QGraphicsLayout's constructor.

### QGraphicsGridLayout.addItem (self, QGraphicsLayoutItem, int, int, int, int, Qt.Alignment alignment = 0)

The QGraphicsLayoutItem argument has it's ownership transferred to Qt.

Adds item to the grid on row and column. You can specify a rowSpan and columnSpan and an optional alignment.

### QGraphicsGridLayout.addItem (self, QGraphicsLayoutItem, int, int, Qt.Alignment alignment = 0)

The QGraphicsLayoutItem argument, if not None, causes self to be owned by Qt instead of PyQt.

Adds item to the grid on row and column. You can specify an optional alignment for item.

### Qt.Alignment QGraphicsGridLayout.alignment (self, QGraphicsLayoutItem)

Returns the alignment for item.

See also setAlignment().

### Qt.Alignment QGraphicsGridLayout.columnAlignment (self, int)

Returns the alignment for column.

See also setColumnAlignment().

### int QGraphicsGridLayout.columnCount (self)

Returns the number of columns in the grid layout. This is always one more than the index of the last column that is occupied by a layout item (empty columns are counted except for those at the end).

### float QGraphicsGridLayout.columnMaximumWidth (self, int)

Returns the maximum width for column.

See also setColumnMaximumWidth().

### float QGraphicsGridLayout.columnMinimumWidth (self, int)

Returns the minimum width for column.

See also setColumnMinimumWidth().

### float QGraphicsGridLayout.columnPreferredWidth (self, int)

Returns the preferred width for column.

See also setColumnPreferredWidth().

### float QGraphicsGridLayout.columnSpacing (self, int)

Returns the column spacing for column.

See also setColumnSpacing().

### int QGraphicsGridLayout.columnStretchFactor (self, int)

Returns the stretch factor for column.

See also setColumnStretchFactor().

### int QGraphicsGridLayout.count (self)

Reimplemented from QGraphicsLayout.count().

Returns the number of layout items in this grid layout.

### float QGraphicsGridLayout.horizontalSpacing (self)

Reimplemented from QGraphicsLayout.itemAt().

Returns the layout item at index, or 0 if there is no layout item at this index.

### QGraphicsGridLayout.removeAt (self, int)

Reimplemented from QGraphicsLayout.removeAt().
