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

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Alex

It might be possible to get the legend size by calling the method 
QgsComposerLegend::paintAndDetermineSize with a 0 pointer as argument to 
get the size:

/**Paints the legend and calculates its size. If painter is 0, only size 
is calculated*/
     QSizeF paintAndDetermineSize( QPainter* painter );

Regards,
Marco
