Question

I believe this is simple question, but not for beginners as I am. My code is:

...
svg_file = QtCore.QFile('C:\svgTest.svg')
self.svgItem = QtSvg.QGraphicsSvgItem(svg_file.fileName())
...

How do I get width and height of self.svgItem?
I’ve tried this:

print self.svgItem.boundingRect()

and get:

PyQt4.QtCore.QRectF(0.0, 0.0, 300.0, 383.0)

where “300” and “383” are values that I need.

QRectF objects have height() and width() methods.

So you can do:

br = self.svgItem.boundingRect()
w = br.width()
h = br.height()

See the Qt documentation on QRectF for details.
