<h2>Vector deformation</h2>
|

</center>
|
|
|
|
<p>This demo shows how to use advanced vector techniques to draw text
|
|
using a <code>QPainterPath</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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
|
|
<code>QPainterPath::addText()</code> function.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The lens is drawn using a single call to <code>drawEllipse()</code>, using
|
|
a <code>QRadialGradient</code> 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.</p>
