6 <p>This demo shows how to use advanced vector techniques to draw text |
|
7 using a <code>QPainterPath</code>.</p> |
|
8 |
|
9 <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> |
