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