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> + +</html> |
