## 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.

## Member Function Documentation

### QGraphicsGridLayout::QGraphicsGridLayout ( QGraphicsLayoutItem * parent = 0 )

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

### QGraphicsGridLayout::~QGraphicsGridLayout () `[virtual]`

Destroys the QGraphicsGridLayout object.

### void QGraphicsGridLayout::addItem ( QGraphicsLayoutItem * item, int row, int column, int rowSpan, int columnSpan, Qt::Alignment alignment = 0 )

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

### void QGraphicsGridLayout::addItem ( QGraphicsLayoutItem * item, int row, int column, Qt::Alignment alignment = 0 )

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

### Qt::Alignment QGraphicsGridLayout::alignment ( QGraphicsLayoutItem * item ) const

Returns the alignment for item.

See also setAlignment().

### Qt::Alignment QGraphicsGridLayout::columnAlignment ( int column ) const

Returns the alignment for column.

See also setColumnAlignment().

### int QGraphicsGridLayout::columnCount () const

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).

### qreal QGraphicsGridLayout::columnMaximumWidth ( int column ) const

Returns the maximum width for column.

See also setColumnMaximumWidth().

### qreal QGraphicsGridLayout::columnMinimumWidth ( int column ) const

Returns the minimum width for column.

See also setColumnMinimumWidth().

### qreal QGraphicsGridLayout::columnPreferredWidth ( int column ) const

Returns the preferred width for column.

See also setColumnPreferredWidth().

### qreal QGraphicsGridLayout::columnSpacing ( int column ) const

Returns the column spacing for column.

See also setColumnSpacing().

### int QGraphicsGridLayout::columnStretchFactor ( int column ) const

Returns the stretch factor for column.

See also setColumnStretchFactor().

### int QGraphicsGridLayout::count () const `[virtual]`

Reimplemented from QGraphicsLayout::count().

Returns the number of layout items in this grid layout.

### qreal QGraphicsGridLayout::horizontalSpacing () const

Returns the default horizontal spacing for the grid layout.

See also setHorizontalSpacing().

### void QGraphicsGridLayout::invalidate () `[virtual]`

Reimplemented from QGraphicsLayout::invalidate().

### QGraphicsLayoutItem * QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt ( int row, int column ) const

Returns a pointer to the layout item at (row, column).

### QGraphicsLayoutItem * QGraphicsGridLayout::itemAt ( int index ) const `[virtual]`

Reimplemented from QGraphicsLayout::itemAt().

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

### void QGraphicsGridLayout::removeAt ( int index ) `[virtual]`

Reimplemented from QGraphicsLayout::removeAt().

Removes the layout item at index without destroying it. Ownership of the item is transferred to the caller.

See also addItem().
