|

| 37 | <p> The canvas module provides a highly optimized 2D graphic area called
|
|---|
| 38 | <a href="qcanvas.html">QCanvas</a>. The canvas can contain an arbitrary number of <a href="qcanvasitem.html">QCanvasItems</a>. Canvas items can have an arbitrary
|
|---|
| 39 | shape, size and content, can be freely moved around in the canvas,
|
|---|
| 40 | and can be checked for collisions. Canvas items can be set to move
|
|---|
| 41 | across the canvas automatically and animated canvas items are
|
|---|
| 42 | supported with <a href="qcanvassprite.html">QCanvasSprite</a>. (If you require 3D graphics see Qt's
|
|---|
| 43 | <a href="opengl.html">OpenGL module</a>.)
|
|---|
| 44 | <p> The canvas module uses a document/view model. The <a href="qcanvasview.html">QCanvasView</a> class
|
|---|
| 45 | is used to show a particular view of a canvas. Multiple views can operate
|
|---|
| 46 | on the same canvas at the same time. Every view can use an arbitrary
|
|---|
| 47 | <a href="qwmatrix.html#TransformationMode">transformation matrix</a> on the canvas which makes it easy to implement
|
|---|
| 48 | features such as zooming.
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 50 | <img src="qcanvas.png" alt="Screenshot of a canvas"></a></center>
|
|---|
| 51 | <p> Qt provides a number of predefined <a href="qcanvas.html">QCanvas</a> items as listed below.
|
|---|
| 52 | <p> <ul>
|
|---|
| 53 | <li> <a href="qcanvasitem.html">QCanvasItem</a> -- An abstract base class for all canvas items.
|
|---|
| 54 | <li> <a href="qcanvasellipse.html">QCanvasEllipse</a> -- An ellipse or "pie segment".
|
|---|
| 55 | <li> <a href="qcanvasline.html">QCanvasLine</a> -- A line segment.
|
|---|
| 56 | <li> <a href="qcanvaspolygon.html">QCanvasPolygon</a> -- A polygon.
|
|---|
| 57 | <li> <a href="qcanvaspolygonalitem.html">QCanvasPolygonalItem</a> -- A base class for items that have a
|
|---|
| 58 | non-rectangular shape. Most canvas items derive from this class.
|
|---|
| 59 | <li> <a href="qcanvasrectangle.html">QCanvasRectangle</a> -- A rectangle. The rectangle cannot be tilted or
|
|---|
| 60 | rotated. Rotated rectangles can be drawn using QCanvasPolygon.
|
|---|
| 61 | <li> <a href="qcanvasspline.html">QCanvasSpline</a> -- A multi-bezier spline.
|
|---|
| 62 | <li> <a href="qcanvassprite.html">QCanvasSprite</a> -- An animated pixmap.
|
|---|
| 63 | <li> <a href="qcanvastext.html">QCanvasText</a> -- A text string.
|
|---|
| 64 | </ul>
|
|---|
| 65 | <p> The two classes <a href="qcanvaspixmap.html">QCanvasPixmap</a> and <a href="qcanvaspixmaparray.html">QCanvasPixmapArray</a> are used
|
|---|
| 66 | by <a href="qcanvassprite.html">QCanvasSprite</a> to show animated and moving pixmaps on the
|
|---|
| 67 | canvas.
|
|---|
| 68 | <p> More specialized items can be created by inheriting from one of the
|
|---|
| 69 | canvas item classes. It is easiest to inherit from one of
|
|---|
| 70 | <a href="qcanvasitem.html">QCanvasItem</a>'s derived classes (usually <a href="qcanvaspolygonalitem.html">QCanvasPolygonalItem</a>) rather
|
|---|
| 71 | than inherit QCanvasItem directly.
|
|---|
| 72 | <p> See <tt>examples/canvas</tt> for an example that shows off some of <a href="qcanvas.html">QCanvas</a>'s
|
|---|
| 73 | capabilities.
