We also determine the length of the widget's shortest side so that we
can fit the clock face inside the widget. It is also useful to determine
the current time before we start drawing.

The contents of custom widgets are drawn with a QPainter.
Painters can be used to draw on any QPaintDevice, but they are
usually used with widgets, so we pass the widget instance to the
painter's constructor.

We call QPainter::setRenderHint() with QPainter::Antialiasing to

smoother.

We set the pen to be Qt::NoPen because we don't want any outline,

displaying hours. Brushes are used when filling in polygons and
