\section1 Animating Qt Properties
- As mentioned in the previous section, the QPropertyAnimation class
- can interpolate over Qt properties. It is this class that should
- be used for animation of values; in fact, its superclass,
- QVariantAnimation, is an abstract class, and cannot be used
- directly.
+ As mentioned in the previous section, the QPropertyAnimation class can

A major reason we chose to animate Qt properties is that it
presents us with freedom to animate already existing classes in
