<p>This demo shows how to use advanced vector techniques to draw text
|
|
|
7 |
using a <code>QPainterPath</code>.</p>
|

<p>We define a vector deformation field in the shape of a lens and apply
|
|
|
10 |
this to all points in a path. This means that what is rendered on
|
|
|
11 |
screen is not pixel manipulation, but modified vector representations of
|
|
|
12 |
the glyphs themselves. This is visible from the high quality of the
|
|
|
13 |
antialiased edges for the deformed glyphs.</p>
|
|
|
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
<p>To get a fairly complex path we allow the user to type in text and
|
|
|
16 |
convert the text to paths. This is done using the
|
|
|
17 |
<code>QPainterPath::addText()</code> function.</p>
|
|
|
18 |
|
|
|
19 |
<p>The lens is drawn using a single call to <code>drawEllipse()</code>, using
|
|
|
20 |
a <code>QRadialGradient</code> to fill it with a specialized color table,
|
|
|
21 |
giving the effect of the Sun's reflection and a drop shadow. The lens
|
|
|
22 |
is cached as a pixmap for better performance.</p>
