\title Qt3D: Basic Shapes C++ Example
\ingroup qt3d-examples-cpp
+ \brief Shows four basic shapes that Qt3D offers.
+
+ The Basic Shapes examples shows four basic shapes that Qt3D offers, a torus,
+ a cylinder, a cube and a sphere. The example also shows how to embed a Qt3D scene
+ into a widget and connect with other widgets.
+
+ \image basicshapes-cpp-example.jpg
+
+ As an example let's go through how to set up a torus mesh. First instantiate
+ the \c QTorusMesh, and then set the mesh specific parameters, that for torus are
+ radius, minor radius and how many rings and slices.
+
+ \snippet basicshapes-cpp/scenemodifier.cpp 0
+
+ The size and position of the torus can be adjusted with transform components.
+ We create scale, translation and rotation components and add them into the
+ \c QTransform component.
+
+ \snippet basicshapes-cpp/scenemodifier.cpp 1
+
+ To change the diffuse color of the mesh we create a \c QPhongMaterial and set
+ its diffuse color.
+
+ \snippet basicshapes-cpp/scenemodifier.cpp 2
+
+ The final step is to add the torus into an entity tree, and we do that by creating
+ a \c QEntity with parent entity and adding the previously created mesh, material
+ and transform components into it.
+
+ \snippet basicshapes-cpp/scenemodifier.cpp 3
+
+ You can control the visibility of the entity by defining if it has parent
+ or not, i.e. whether it is part of entity tree or not.
