Question

Is there a way to achieve something similar to scripting in svg file, so it works when it’s opened in python gui? I need funcionality similar to one in this example, but I am opening my svg in python like this:

self.setScene(QtGui.QGraphicsScene(self))
self.scene().addItem(QtSvg.QGraphicsSvgItem(QtCore.QFile(pathToMySVG).fileName()))

where self is QtGui.QGraphicsView.

I have also tried without scripting, with these examples, but still there is no interactivity.

Any help-examples would be appreciated.

@Vicent Actually I’ve found solution using QGraphicsWebView():

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, QtSvg
from PyQt4.QtWebKit import QGraphicsWebView
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

    scene = QtGui.QGraphicsScene()
    view = QtGui.QGraphicsView(scene)

    br = QtSvg.QGraphicsSvgItem("C:\my_interactive_svg.svg").boundingRect()

    webview = QGraphicsWebView()
    webview.load(QtCore.QUrl("C:\my_interactive_svg.svg"))
    webview.setFlags(QtGui.QGraphicsItem.ItemClipsToShape)
    webview.setCacheMode(QtGui.QGraphicsItem.NoCache)
    webview.resize(br.width(), br.height())

    scene.addItem(webview)
    view.resize(br.width()+10, br.height()+10)
    view.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

It works perfect for me (scripting and other stuff).

Only thing that I don’t like is that I have to load my svg as QGraphicsSvgItem, because I didn’t know other way to get size of my svg. Apparently webview.size() does not return expected values.
