[Qgis-developer] Get composer item's size and position

[Alexander Bruy]

Hi Marco,

thanks for your help. Tried to get composer legend width using
rect().width() and always get 4.0 for different legends. In same
time seems that height is reported correctly. For tests I use
several layers with categorized legend and different number of
classes (from 2 to 40) and next code from Python console

r = qgis.utils.iface.mapCanvas().mapRenderer()
c = QgsComposition( r )
c.setPlotStyle( QgsComposition.Print )
l = QgsComposerLegend( c )
l.model().setLayerSet( r.layerSet() )
print l.rect().width(), l.rect.height()

Any ideas what's wrong?
