How do I draw interactive widgets such as QButtons and Line Edits over a QGraphicsView? For ex, I have selected a region over an image in an image editing app which displays an image with QGraphicsView, and I want to annotate this region with a name.

So I want to have a Line edit and two buttons (Cross and Tick) below this rectangular selection. How do I draw these?

Sample code would be cool!
