[Qt-interest] QGraphicsView with QGestureEvent

[Raymond de Vries]

Hi Elias,

I can't tell from your messages but are you using multitouch (without 
the gesture classes) now with graphicsview and some graphicsobjects on 
it? Is that so? It might be possible to do multitouch yourself (so 
without gestures) but I have not yet found out how to distinguish 
between the graphicsview (and it's viewport) and the graphics items on it.

I would love to find out how that works, even with pure multitouch events.

thanks, best regards
Raymond
