+ \title Scene Graph - Threaded Animation
+ \examplecategory {Graphics & Multimedia}
+ \ingroup qtquickexamples
+ \brief Shows benefits of custom items animating independently of the main thread while using the threaded render loop of Qt Quick.
+
+ \image threadedanimation-example.jpg
+
+ This example shows the fundamental concept behind the \l Animator types, by
+ implementing a custom item that effectively animates itself by not relying
+ on the standard Qt Quick animation framework driven on the main thread.
+
+ The left and right spinners should behave identically under normal
+ conditions. However, once the example blocks the main thread by peforming
+ some heavy operation, it will become noticeable that the left spinner is not
+ animating smoothly anymore.
+
+ \note This example should be run with the \c threaded render loop of Qt
+ Quick. This is the default in most cases. There are no positive effects when
+ using the \c basic render loop, because there everything, including all
+ rendering, happens on the main thread.
+
+ Applications without custom QQuickItem implementations can get the same
+ benefits by using one of the \l Animator types, such as \l XAnimator or \l
+ OpacityAnimator from QML. Whereas when building custom items, similar
+ results can be achieved by following the example's implementation.
