[Qt-interest] Is it possible to show the same QGraphicsItem in one QGraphicsScene multiple times?

[Bart van Deenen]

Hi all

I'm building a 'tickertape' type QGraphicsItem object that should move
all its nested items across the screen. The tickertape has to be
continuous, so that when the right end of the last child is showing
within the parent cliprect, the left end of the first child will appear.

To do this, I need to be able to paint a QGraphicsItem twice within one
QGraphicsScene. Since the things I have inside the ticker tape can be
quite complicated, with more nested children, I'd like to be able to
just copy the pixmap cache onto the screen.

Any hints on how to go about this?

Thanks
