\QtMinorVersion \title Qt Quick Shapes QML Types

Provides QML types for drawing stroked and filled shapes.

To use the types in this module, import the module with the following line:

\qml import QtQuick.Shapes \endqml

Qt Quick Shapes provides tools for drawing arbitrary shapes in a Qt Quick scene. \l{Shape}{Shapes} can be constructed from basic building blocks like \l{PathLine}{lines} and \l{PathCubic}{curves} that define sub-shapes. The sub-shapes can then be filled with solid colors or gradients, and an outline stroke can be defined.

Qt Quick Shapes also supports higher level path element types, such as \l{PathText}{text} and \l{PathSvg}{SVG path descriptions}. The currently supported element types is: PathMove, PathLine, PathQuad, PathCubic, PathArc, PathText and PathSvg.

Qt Quick Shapes triangulates the shapes and renders the corresponding triangles on the GPU. Therefore, altering the control points of elements will lead to re-triangulation of the affected paths, at some performance cost. In addition, curves are flattened before they are rendered, so applying a very high scale to the shape may show artifacts where it is visible that the curves are represented by a sequence of smaller, straight lines.

Note

Qt Quick Shapes relies on multi-sampling for anti-aliasing. This can be enabled for the entire application or window using the corresponding settings in QSurfaceFormat. It can also be enabled for only the shape, by setting its \l{Item::layer.enabled}{layer.enabled} property to true and then adjusting the \l{Item::layer.samples}{layer.samples} property. In the latter case, multi-sampling will not be applied to the entire scene, but the shape will be rendered via an intermediate off-screen buffer.

For further information, the \l{Qt Quick Examples - Shapes}{Shapes example} shows how to implement different types of shapes, fills and strokes.
