Hi Srini,

thanks for the details but I'm not using QGraphicsView.
This is a custom Widget with a stacked layout, that slides the old widgets out of frame and the new ones in. I'm thinking something like this might be what I need to collect and add to the widgets' position to get their true positional values (so the animation won't stutter):
self.style().pixelMetric( QStyle.PM_DefaultFrameWidth )

As you are asking about animation, I am assuming you are using QtGui.QGraphicsView.

Working with QGraphicsView, I found following few key things related to size/coordinates.

1. By default QtGui.QGraphicsView aligns the scene to center. So all resizes are set wrt center. To change the anchoring back to top, use following.

setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignTop)

2. If you are trying to get resizable scene, you may want to use resizeEvent of QtGui.QGraphicsView and adjust your widgets/layouts.

3. Have a default screen size so that widget reference starting point is something you can always control. You could also do relative distances based on the screen size - but it is some more initialization that you need to take care of.

Hope above is what you are looking for.

thanks

    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to learn what inherited value may contribute to a widget's
    real screen position.

    In my example I have a widget that I am animating out of frame, so I
    need to determine exactly what it's static position is to be able
    to set
    that as the animation's start value. If I just use QWidget.pos().x() I
    am 5 pixels off. So currently I'm just adding 5 pixels manually, but
    would love to understand where those come from and how to
    calculate the
    widget's position properly and reliably.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Cheers,
    frank
