Pyqt5 Qgraphicsview scaled appropriately on load

Question

I have some QGraphicItems that are being loaded in at multiple predetermined X and Y coordinates. I have a function that is called fitInView and when the user clicks a button to call that function the view is scaled just fine, but If I try to call that function during loading It does not scale how I would like. I believe it has something to do with how I am determining the scale factor. When I print out the values of the width and height of the viewport on load and when the user clicks the button, they are very different.

My question is how do I get the objects to be at the same scaled on load as they are when the user clicks the button. Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

An instant before the QGraphicsView is displayed, internal elements are recalculated so that you observe a different behavior, so the solution is to apply the function a moment after it is displayed. for this there are at least 2 options:

1. QTimer.singleShot(0, ...):

# ...
self.setPoints()
QTimer.singleShot(0, self.fitInView)
# ...

1. override showEvent method of Viewer

def showEvent(self, event):
    self.fitInView()
    super(Viewer, self).showEvent(event)
