    **Bases:** :class:`object`

    Abstract class providing useful methods to GraphicsObject and GraphicsWidget.
    (This is required because we cannot have multiple inheritance with QObject subclasses.)

    A note about Qt's GraphicsView framework:

    The GraphicsView system places a lot of emphasis on the notion that the graphics within the scene should be device independent--you should be able to take the same graphics and display them on screens of different resolutions, printers, export to SVG, etc. This is nice in principle, but causes me a lot of headache in practice. It means that I have to circumvent all the device-independent expectations any time I want to operate in pixel coordinates rather than arbitrary scene coordinates. A lot of the code in GraphicsItem is devoted to this task--keeping track of view widgets and device transforms, computing the size and shape of a pixel in local item coordinates, etc. Note that in item coordinates, a pixel does not have to be square or even rectangular, so just asking how to increase a bounding rect by 2px can be a rather complex task.
