30 \title Vector Deformation
31
32 This demo shows how to use advanced vector techniques to draw text
33 using a \c QPainterPath.
34
35 \image deform-demo.png
36
37 We define a vector deformation field in the shape of a lens and apply
38 this to all points in a path. This means that what is rendered on
39 screen is not pixel manipulation, but modified vector representations of
40 the glyphs themselves. This is visible from the high quality of the
41 antialiased edges for the deformed glyphs.
42
43 To get a fairly complex path we allow the user to type in text and
44 convert the text to paths. This is done using the
45 QPainterPath::addText() function.
46
47 The lens is drawn using a single call to QPainter::drawEllipse(),
48 using a QRadialGradient to fill it with a specialized color
49 table, giving the effect of the sun's reflection and a drop
50 shadow. The lens is cached as a pixmap for better performance.
