I have had great success with QtGui.QGraphicsItemAnimation alleviating the same
issues that you are looking at.
It looks like that your PictureItem is returning a really large bounding box so
that caching system is repainting all or most of them at every step. Sometime
it helps in debugging to just draw the bounding rect in red or some other
obvious color for each item.
I added a debugging code to swap the color of picture items when they are
repainted:
def paint(self, painter, options, widget):
self.p += 1
x, y, w, h = self._computeRect()
if self.p % 2 == 0:
color = "blue"
else:
color = "white"
painter.fillRect(x, y, w, h, QtGui.QColor(color))
...
My other suggestion (that doesn't really help in this case) is not using a
thread. You can always fake your thread with timers, in general threads are
evil and difficult to debug. Since python has a global interpreter lock,
timers are just as fast (unless you call a long running bit of non-python code)
class FakeThread(QtCore.QObject):
def __init__(self, scene):
QtCore.QObject.__init__(self)
self.scene = scene
self.__x = 0
self.__y = 0
self.count = 0
self.timer = QtCore.QTimer(self)
self.timer.setInterval(100)
self.connect(self.timer, QtCore.SIGNAL("timeout()"), self.timeout)
self.timer.start()
def timeout(self):
self.scene.setHeadPosition(self.__x, -self.__y)
self.__x += 3.6
self.__y += 1.8
self.count += 1
if self.count > 10000:
QtCore.quit()

I tried these flags, but they didnt change anything :o(
I attached a short example to show my problem. As soon as the crosshair
starts to move, the CPU goes to 100%!
Any idea to improve that code?
