\keyword Animation
- The animation framework aims to provide an easy way for creating animated
- and smooth GUIs. By animating Qt properties, the framework provides great
- freedom for animating widgets and other \l{QObject}s. The framework can
- also be used with the Graphics View framework. Many of the concepts
- available in the animation framework are also available in \l{Qt Quick},
- where it offers a declarative way of defining animations. Much of the
- knowledge acquired about the animation framework can be applied to
- \l{Qt Quick}.
-
- In this overview, we explain the basics of its architecture. We
- also show examples of the most common techniques that the
- framework allows for animating \l{QObject}s and graphics items.
+ The animation framework provides an easy way to animate your GUI elements.
+ It enables you to animate a Qt property value of a widget or QObject.
+ Most of the features offered by the framework are also available in
+ \l{Qt Quick}, where it's possible to define animations in a declarative way.
+
+ This overview explains the framework's architecture, with examples that
+ demonstrate the common techniques used for animating QObject and
+ GUI elements.

- \section1 The Animation Architecture
+ \section1 The Animation architecture
- We will in this section take a high-level look at the animation
- framework's architecture and how it is used to animate Qt
- properties. The following diagram shows the most important classes
- in the animation framework.
+ The following diagram shows the most important classes provided by the
+ framework:
\image animations-architecture.png
- The animation framework foundation consists of the base class
- QAbstractAnimation, and its two subclasses QVariantAnimation and
- QAnimationGroup. QAbstractAnimation is the ancestor of all
- animations. It represents basic properties that are common for all
- animations in the framework; notably, the ability to start, stop,
- and pause an animation. It is also receives the time change
- notifications.
-
- The animation framework further provides the QPropertyAnimation
- class, which inherits QVariantAnimation and performs animation of
- a Qt property, which is part of Qt's \l{Meta-Object
- System}{meta-object system}. The class performs an interpolation
- over the property using an easing curve. So when you want to
- animate a value, you can declare it as a property and make your
- class a QObject. Note that this gives us great freedom in
- animating already existing widgets and other \l{QObject}s.
+ It includes the QAbstractAnimation class, which provides the
+ necessary foundation for animations. This class defines the
+ generic properties for all animations supported by the framework.
+ For example, the ability to start, stop, and pause an animation. The
+ class also receives the time change notifications.
+
+ The framework further provides the QVariantAnimation and
+ QAnimationGroup classes, which build on their base case, QAbstractAnimation.
+ Next in the hierarchy is QPropertyAnimation, which is derived from
+ QVariantAnmiation, and it lets you animate a Qt property of a widget or
+ QObject. The class performs interpolation on the property value using an
+ easing curve. With these in place, you just need a QObject class with a
+ Qt property value that you can animate.
+
+ \note It is required that the target object you are animating is a QObject
+ or its subclass. This is necessary as the animation framework depends on the
+ \l{Meta-Object System}{meta-object system} for all the information about the
+ object it is animating.
Complex animations can be constructed by building a tree structure
- of \l{QAbstractAnimation}s. The tree is built by using
- \l{QAnimationGroup}s, which function as containers for other
- animations. Note also that the groups are subclasses of
- QAbstractAnimation, so groups can themselves contain other groups.
+ of \l{QAbstractAnimation}s, where the tree is a QAnimationGroup that

+ \section1 Animating Qt properties
- As mentioned in the previous section, the QPropertyAnimation class can
- interpolate over Qt properties. It is often this class that should be used
- for animation of values; in fact, its superclass, QVariantAnimation, has an
- empty implementation of \l{QVariantAnimation::}{updateCurrentValue()}, and

+ As the QPropertyAnimation class can interpolate on Qt properties, it is
+ used often. In fact, its superclass---QVariantAnimation---provides an
+ abstract implementation of \l{QVariantAnimation::}{updateCurrentValue()},
+ which does not change any value unless you change it on the
\l{QVariantAnimation::valueChanged()}{valueChanged signal}.
- A major reason we chose to animate Qt properties is that it
- presents us with freedom to animate already existing classes in
- the Qt API. Notably, the QWidget class (which we can also embed in
- a QGraphicsView) has properties for its bounds, colors, etc.
- Let's look at a small example:
-
- \code
- QPushButton button("Animated Button");
- button.show();
+ The framework lets you animate the Qt properties of the existing
+ classes in Qt. For example, the QWidget class---can be embedded in
+ a QGraphicsView---has properties for its bounds, colors, and so on.
+ The following example demonstrates how you can animate a QPushButton
+ widget:
- QPropertyAnimation animation(&button, "geometry");
- animation.setDuration(10000);
- animation.setStartValue(QRect(0, 0, 100, 30));
- animation.setEndValue(QRect(250, 250, 100, 30));
+ \snippet code/src_corelib_animation_qpropertyanimation.cpp 0
- animation.start();
- \endcode
+ The example animates the \c pos Qt property of a QPushButton, to move
+ it from the top--left corner of the screen to the end position (250, 250),
+ in 10 seconds (10000 milliseconds).
- This code will move \c button from the top left corner of the
- screen to the position (250, 250) in 10 seconds (10000 milliseconds).
-
- The example above will do a linear interpolation between the
- start and end value. It is also possible to set values
- situated between the start and end value. The interpolation
- will then go by these points.
+ It uses the linear interpolation method to control the speed of
+ animation between the start and end values. Try adding another value
+ in--between the start and end value to see how they are interpolated.
+ This time use the QPropertyAnimation::setKeyValueAt function to add
+ these values:
\code
- QPushButton button("Animated Button");
- button.show();
-
- QPropertyAnimation animation(&button, "geometry");
- animation.setDuration(10000);
-
- animation.setKeyValueAt(0, QRect(0, 0, 100, 30));
- animation.setKeyValueAt(0.8, QRect(250, 250, 100, 30));
- animation.setKeyValueAt(1, QRect(0, 0, 100, 30));
-
- animation.start();
+ ...
+ anim->setDuration(10000);
+ anim->setKeyValueAt(0, QPoint(0, 0));
+ anim->setKeyValueAt(0.8, QPoint(250, 250));
+ anim->setKeyValueAt(1, QPoint(0, 0));
+ ...
\endcode
- In this example, the animation will take the button to (250, 250)
- in 8 seconds, and then move it back to its original position in
- the remaining 2 seconds. The movement will be linearly
- interpolated between these points.
+ In this example, the animation moves the button to
+ (250, 250) in 8 seconds, and moves it back to its original position in
+ the remaining 2 seconds. The button's movement is linear-interpolated
+ between these points.
+
+ You can also animate a QObject's value that is not declared as a Qt
+ property, if the value has a setter method. In such cases, derive
+ a new class from the class that contains the value, and add a Qt property
+ for that value with the setter.
- You also have the possibility to animate values of a QObject
- that is not declared as a Qt property. The only requirement is
- that this value has a setter. You can then subclass the class
- containing the value and declare a property that uses this setter.
- Note that each Qt property requires a getter, so you will need to
- provide a getter yourself if this is not defined.
+ \note Each Qt property requires a getter also, so you should provide a
+ getter if that is not defined.
\code
class MyGraphicsRectItem : public QObject, public QGraphicsRectItem
{
Q_OBJECT
- Q_PROPERTY(QRectF geometry READ geometry WRITE setGeometry)
+ Q_PROPERTY(QPointF pos READ pos WRITE setPos)
};
\endcode
- In the above code example, we subclass QGraphicsRectItem and
- define a geometry property. We can now animate the widgets
- geometry even if QGraphicsRectItem does not provide the geometry
- property.
+ In this example, the \c MyGraphicsRectItem derives from
+ QGraphicsRectItem and QObject, and defines the \c pos property. You can
+ animate the item's \c pos even if QGraphicsRectItem does not provide
+ the \c pos property.

- \l{Qt's Property System}{overview}.

\section1 Animations and the Graphics View Framework
- When you want to animate \l{QGraphicsItem}s, you also use
- QPropertyAnimation. However, QGraphicsItem does not inherit QObject.
- A good solution is to subclass the graphics item you wish to animate.
- This class will then also inherit QObject.
- This way, QPropertyAnimation can be used for \l{QGraphicsItem}s.
- The example below shows how this is done. Another possibility is
- to inherit QGraphicsWidget, which already is a QObject.
+ QPropertyAnimation can also be used to animate a QGraphicsItem, which does
+ not inherit QObject. In such cases, you derive a class from the graphics
+ item that you want to animate. This derived class should also inherit form
+ QObject to enable using QPropertyAnimation on a QGraphicsItem. The
+ following example shows how this is done:

\endcode
- As described in the previous section, we need to define
- properties that we wish to animate.
+ \note You can also derive from QGraphicsWidget, which already is a
+ QObject.
- Note that QObject must be the first class inherited as the
- meta-object system demands this.
+ As described in the previous section, you need to define
+ properties that you want to animate. The derived class must inherit

- \section1 Easing Curves
+ \section1 Easing curves
- As mentioned, QPropertyAnimation performs an interpolation between
- the start and end property value. In addition to adding more key
- values to the animation, you can also use an easing curve. Easing
- curves describe a function that controls how the speed of the
- interpolation between 0 and 1 should be, and are useful if you
- want to control the speed of an animation without changing the
- path of the interpolation.

+ \ingroup qt-basic-concepts
+ \brief An overview of CBOR support in Qt.
+
+ \ingroup frameworks-technologies
+
+ \keyword CBOR
+
+ Qt provides support for dealing with CBOR data. CBOR is a binary format to
+ store data that has a superset of the types available in JSON, but is more
+ compact.
+
+ The CBOR support in Qt provides an easy to use C++ API to parse,
+ modify and save CBOR data.
+
+ More details about the CBOR data format can be found in \l {RFC 7049}.
+
+ \tableofcontents
+
+ \section1 Overview
+
+ CBOR is a format to store structured data. It has three groups of built-in types:
+
+ \list
+ \li Basic types: integers, floating point, boolean, null, etc.
+ \li String-like types: strings and byte arrays
+ \li Containers: arrays and maps
+ \endlist
+
+ In addition, CBOR can add a "tag" to extend the meaning of the type. The
+ container types can contain basic types, string-like types and containers.
+
+ \sa {Cbordump Example}, {Convert Example}, {JSON Save Game Example}
+
+ \section1 The CBOR Classes
+
+ \section2 The QCborValue Class
+
+ The QCborValue class represents any CBOR type. It also has a simple API for
+ reading and writing to QCborStreamReader and QCborStreamWriter objects, as
+ well as manipulating such objects in memory, with the help of QCborArray
+ and QCborMap. The CborValue API is simplified from the full CBOR data type
+ and always represents all integers as \l qint64 and all floating-point as
+ \c double. This means QCborValue is unable to represent CBOR integer values
+ outside of the range of \l qint64 (-2^63 to 2^63-1). When creating a CBOR
+ stream, QCborValue::toCbor() can be configured to attempt to write the
+ shorter single- and half-precision floating-point representations.
+
+ \section2 The QCborArray Class
+
+ The QCborArray class is used to hold an array of QCborValue objects. A
+ QCborValue object can contain a QCborArray object. It has functions for
+ converting to and from QVariantList, QStringList, QJsonArray.
+
+ \section2 The QCborMap Class
+
+ The QCborMap class is used to hold an map of QCborValue objects. A
+ QCborValue object can contain a QCborMap object. It has functions for
+ converting to and from QVariantMap, QVariantMap, and QJsonObject, but it
+ can have keys of any type, not just QString.
+
+ \section2 The QCborStreamReader Class
+
+ The QCborStreamReader class is a low level API for reading CBOR data from a
+ QIODevice, a QByteArray, or a pointer to memory. It has an API similar to
+ the QXmlStreamReader class.
+
+ \section2 The QCborStreamWriter Class
+
+ The QCborStreamWriter class is a low level API for writing CBOR data to a
+ QIODevice or a QByteArray. It has an API similar to the QXmlStreamWriter
+ class.

+
+The \c{QT_ANDROID_MULTI_ABI_FORWARD_VARS} variable allows specifying the list of
+CMake variables that need to be forwarded from the main ABI project to
+ABI-specific subprojects. Due to the specifics of the Multi-ABI project build
+process, there is no generic way to forward the CMake cache variables
+that are specified either in the command line or in another similar way.
+
+A typical use case for the variable is propagating CMake cache variables
+specified in the command line. For example, a project has two variables
+\c{PROJECT_WIDE_VARIABLE1} and \c{PROJECT_WIDE_VARIABLE2} that affect the
+project configuration:
+\badcode
+cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.18)
+
+project(MyProject LANGUAGES CXX)
+
+find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core)
+
+qt_add_executable(MyApp main.cpp)
+
+if(PROJECT_WIDE_VARIABLE1)
+ target_sources(MyApp PRIVATE sourcefile1.cpp)
+endif()
+if(PROJECT_WIDE_VARIABLE2)
+ target_sources(MyApp PRIVATE sourcefile2.cpp)
+endif()
+\endcode
+
+The above contents of \c{CMakeLists.txt} enable you to control how
+\c{MyApp} is built by setting the corresponding CMake variables from the
+command line:
+\badcode
+qt-cmake -S<source directory> -B<build directory> \
+ -DPROJECT_WIDE_VARIABLE1=ON \
+ -DPROJECT_WIDE_VARIABLE2=ON \
+ -DQT_ANDROID_MULTI_ABI_FORWARD_VARS="PROJECT_WIDE_VARIABLE1;PROJECT_WIDE_VARIABLE2"
+\endcode
+
+When configuring the application for desktop, \c{PROJECT_WIDE_VARIABLE1} and
+\c{PROJECT_WIDE_VARIABLE2} are visible in CMake listings and scripts as global
+cache variables. This doesn't work for Android Multi-ABI builds because
+ABI-specific subprojects do not inherit the cache variables from the main-ABI
+project. This issue can be solved by passing the list of required variables to
+the \c{QT_ANDROID_MULTI_ABI_FORWARD_VARS} variable, so both
+\c{PROJECT_WIDE_VARIABLE1} and \c{PROJECT_WIDE_VARIABLE2} values will be
+propagated to the ABI-specific builds.
+
+The variable can be also defined in the project's CMakeLists.txt:
+\badcode
+...
+qt_add_executable(MyApp main.cpp)
+...
+if(ANDROID)
+ set(QT_ANDROID_MULTI_ABI_FORWARD_VARS "PROJECT_WIDE_VARIABLE1;PROJECT_WIDE_VARIABLE2")
+endif()
+...
+\endcode
+
+Setting the variable in this way allows you to have a predefined set of
+variables that will always be forwarded to abi-specific projects.
+
+\note The forwarding is done in the target finalizer, which is implicitly
+called when \l{qt6_add_executable}{qt_add_executable()} is used. The
+finalization occurs automatically when using CMake 3.19 or later.

After a target is created, further processing or \e{finalization} steps are
commonly needed. The steps to perform depend on the platform and on various

-\l{qt6_finalize_target}{qt_finalize_target()} command. You might need to also
-call the \l{qt6_finalize_project}{qt_finalize_project()} command at the end

+The finalization processing is implemented by two commands:

+When using CMake 3.19 or later, target finalization is automatically deferred to the
end of the current directory scope. This gives the caller an opportunity to

not be needed unless the project has to support CMake 3.18 or earlier.

+ \page qtserialization.html
+ \title Qt Serialization
+ \brief Serializations provided by Qt API
+
+ The purpose of serialization is to save the state of an object to be able to
+ recreate it when needed. It allows you to perform actions like:
+
+ \list
+ \li Sending the object to a remote application by using a web service
+ \li Passing the object as a JSON or XML string
+ \li Saving and restoring user information or sharing it across applications
+ \endlist
+
+ The Qt API provides support for serialization for several use cases:
+
+ \list
+ \li \l JSON support in Qt provides an easy to use C++ API to parse, modify
+ and save JSON data. \l {CBOR} {CBOR Support in Qt} is a compact form
+ of binary data encoding that is a superset of JSON.
+ \li \l QDataStream provides serialization of binary data to a QIODevice
+ \li \l {Qt XML C++ Classes} provide C++ implementations of the \l XML Streaming
+ and DOM standards for XML
+ \li \l CBOR is Qt's implementation for the CBOR serialization format.
+ \li \l QSettings provides a way of serializing and storing platform independent
+ application settings.
+ \endlist
+
+ \section1 Advantages of JSON and CBOR
+
+ When you use \l JSON information is stored in a QJsonObject and a QJsonDocument
+ takes care to stream values into a QByteArray.
+
+ For example
+ \code
+ QJsonObject jobject;
+ jobject["SensorID"] = m_id;
+ jobject["AmbientTemperature"] = m_ambientTemperature;
+ jobject["ObjectTemperature"] = m_objectTemperature;
+ jobject["AccelerometerX"] = m_accelerometerX;
+ jobject["AccelerometerY"] = m_accelerometerY;
+ jobject["AccelerometerZ"] = m_accelerometerZ;
+ jobject["Altitude"] = m_altitude;
+ jobject["Light"] = m_light;
+ jobject["Humidity"] = m_humidity;
+ QJsonDocument doc( jobject );
+
+ return doc.toJson();
+ \endcode
+
+ JSON has several advantages:
+
+ \list
+ \li Textual JSON is declarative, which makes it readable to humans
+ \li The information is structured
+ \li Exchanging generic information is easy
+ \li JSON allows extending messages with additional values
+ \li Many solutions exist to receive and parse JSON in cloud-based solutions
+ \endlist
+
+ \l CBOR is the Concise Binary Object Representation, a very compact form of
+ binary data encoding that is a superset of JSON. It was created by the IETF
+ Constrained RESTful Environments (CoRE) WG, which has been used in many new
+ RFCs. CBOR shares many of the advantages of JSON, but sacrifices human
+ readability for compactness.
+
+ \section1 Advantages of QDataStream Classes
+
+ \l QDataStream is a viable option when the whole flow of data is determined
+ and not about to change. In addition, both the reader and the writer of the
+ data must be written in Qt.
+
+ Adding support for this to a class requires two additional operators.
+ For example, for a class named SensorInformation:
+
+ \code
+ QDataStream &operator<<(QDataStream &, const SensorInformation &);
+ QDataStream &operator>>(QDataStream &, SensorInformation &);
+ \endcode
+
+ The implementation for the serialization is shown below:
+
+ \code
+ QDataStream &operator<<(QDataStream &out, const SensorInformation &item)
+ {
+ QDataStream::FloatingPointPrecision prev = out.floatingPointPrecision();
+ out.setFloatingPointPrecision(QDataStream::DoublePrecision);
+ out << item.m_id
+ << item.m_ambientTemperature
+ << item.m_objectTemperature
+ << item.m_accelerometerX
+ << item.m_accelerometerY
+ << item.m_accelerometerZ
+ << item.m_altitude
+ << item.m_light
+ << item.m_humidity;
+ out.setFloatingPointPrecision(prev);
+ return out;
+ }
+ \endcode
+
+ Deserialization works similarly, but using the \c {>>} operator.
+ For example, \c {out >> item.m_id}, and so on.
+
+ Usually, using QDataStream is faster than using textual JSON.
+
+ \section1 Advantages of Qt XML C++ Classes
+
+ Qt provides the QDomDocument class that represents the XML document and
+ two classes for reading and writing the XML through a simple streaming API:
+ QXmlStreamReader and QXmlStreamWriter.
+
+ QDomDocument class represents the entire XML document. It is the root of the
+ document tree and provides primary access to the document's data.
+
+ A stream reader reports an XML document as a stream of tokens. This differs
+ from SAX as SAX applications provide handlers to receive XML events from the
+ parser, whereas the QXmlStreamReader drives the loop, pulling tokens from the
+ reader when they are needed. This pulling approach makes it possible to build
+ recursive descent parsers, allowing XML parsing code to be split into
+ different methods or classes.
+
+ QXmlStreamReader a parser for well-formed XML 1.0, excluding external parsed
+ entities. Hence, data provided to the stream reader adheres to the
+ W3C's criteria for well-formed XML, or an error will be raised. Functions
+ such as \c atEnd(), \c error(), and \c hasError() can be used to test for
+ such errors and obtain a description of them.
+
+ The QXmlStreamWriter is a streaming API that takes care of prefixing namespaces,
+ when the namespaceUri is specified when writing elements or attributes.
