+/*!
+    \example demos/deform
+    \title Vector Deformation
+
+    This demo shows how to use advanced vector techniques to draw text 
+    using a \c QPainterPath.
+
+    \image deform-demo.png
+
+    We define a vector deformation field in the shape of a lens and apply
+    this to all points in a path. This means that what is rendered on
+    screen is not pixel manipulation, but modified vector representations of
+    the glyphs themselves. This is visible from the high quality of the
+    antialiased edges for the deformed glyphs.
+
+    To get a fairly complex path we allow the user to type in text and
+    convert the text to paths. This is done using the
+    QPainterPath::addText() function.
+
+    The lens is drawn using a single call to QPainter::drawEllipse(),
+    using a QRadialGradient to fill it with a specialized color
+    table, giving the effect of the sun's reflection and a drop
+    shadow. The lens is cached as a pixmap for better performance.
