what is the correct way to use QCPItemLine with layers? i have a pixamp which i draw on the grid with QCustomPlot and i want to draw a line above the pixmap, so far it is being shown below the pixmap.

lets say i already set a pixmap how can i be sure where the line will be shown? according to documentaions the way to draw a line is:

QCOItemLine* line = new QCOItemLine(ui->grid);
_line->start->setCoords(x_tail, y_tail);
_line->end->setCoords(x_head, y_head);
ui->widget->replot();
unlike points the line dosent related to specific graph or layer so how do i manage it?
this is how i set the pixmap:
QCPItemPixamp* _pixmap;
Qimage image;
getImageData(image);
ui->grid->addLayer("map", ui->grid->layer("main));
QPixmap pixels = QPixmap::fromImage(image.scaled(ui->grid->width(), 
ui->grid->height(), Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio, Qt::FastTransformation));
_pixmap->setVisible(true);
_pixmap->setScaled(true);
_pixmap->setPixmap(pixels);
_pixmap->topLeft->setCoords(left_x, bottom_y);
_pixmap->bottomRight->setCoords(right_x, top_y);
i want to draw a line above this pixmap
                you could show how you set the pixmap in the customplot, and what do you currently get, and what do you want to get

You have to set a different layer to each item, and then you can use moveLayer() to move the layers.
// create layers
ui->grid->addLayer("line");
ui->grid->addLayer("pixmap");
//create line
QCPItemLine* _line = new QCPItemLine(ui->grid);
_line->start->setCoords(1, 5);
_line->end->setCoords(5, 3);
//set layer
_line->setLayer("line");
//create pixmap
QCPItemPixmap  *_pixmap = new   QCPItemPixmap(ui->grid);
QImage image;
getImageData(image);
QPixmap pixels = QPixmap::fromImage(image.scaled(ui->grid->width(),
ui->grid->height(), Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio, Qt::FastTransformation));
_pixmap->setPixmap(pixels);
_pixmap->setVisible(true);
_pixmap->setScaled(true);
_pixmap->topLeft->setCoords(1, 5);
_pixmap->bottomRight->setCoords(5, 3);
// set layer
_pixmap->setLayer("pixmap");
// move layers
ui->grid->moveLayer(_line->layer(), _pixmap->layer(), QCustomPlot::limAbove );
ui->grid->replot();
