    44     \title Vector Deformation
       
    45 
       
    46     This demo shows how to use advanced vector techniques to draw text 
       
    47     using a \c QPainterPath.
       
    48

    50 
       
    51     We define a vector deformation field in the shape of a lens and apply
       
    52     this to all points in a path. This means that what is rendered on
       
    53     screen is not pixel manipulation, but modified vector representations of
       
    54     the glyphs themselves. This is visible from the high quality of the
       
    55     antialiased edges for the deformed glyphs.
       
    56 
       
    57     To get a fairly complex path we allow the user to type in text and
       
    58     convert the text to paths. This is done using the
       
    59     QPainterPath::addText() function.
       
    60 
       
    61     The lens is drawn using a single call to QPainter::drawEllipse(),
       
    62     using a QRadialGradient to fill it with a specialized color
       
    63     table, giving the effect of the sun's reflection and a drop
       
    64     shadow. The lens is cached as a pixmap for better performance.
