+ \qmlmodule QtQuick.SharedImage 1
+ \title Qt Quick Shared Image Provider
+ \ingroup qmlmodules
+ \brief Adds an image provider which utilizes shared CPU memory
+
+ \section2 Summary
+
+ This module provides functionality to save memory in use cases where
+ several Qt Quick applications use the same local image files. It does this
+ by placing the decoded QImage data in shared system memory, making it
+ accessible to all the processes (see QSharedMemory).
+
+ This module only shares CPU memory. It does not provide sharing of GPU
+ memory or textures.
+
+ \section2 Usage
+
+ To use this module, import it like this:
+ \code
+ import QtQuick.SharedImage 1.0
+ \endcode
+
+ The sharing functionality is provided through a QQuickImageProvider. Use
+ the "image:" scheme for the URL source of the image, followed by the
+ identifier \e shared, followed by the image file path. For example:
+
+ \code
+ Image { source: "image://shared/usr/share/wallpapers/mybackground.jpg" }
+ \endcode
+
+ This will look for the file \e /usr/share/wallpapers/mybackground.jpg.
+ The first process that does this will read the image file
+ using normal Qt image loading. The decoded image data will then be placed
+ in shared memory, using the full file path as key. Later processes
+ requesting the same image will discover that the data is already available
+ in shared memory. They will then use that instead of loading the image file
+ again.
+
+ The shared image data will be kept available until the last process has deleted
+ its last reference to the shared image, at which point it is automatically released.
+
+ If system memory sharing is not available, the shared image provider falls
+ back to normal, unshared image loading.
+
+ The file path must be absolute. To use a relative path, make it absolute
+ using \e Qt.resolvedUrl() and replace the URL scheme. For example:
+
+ \code
+ ...
+ property string imagePrefix: Qt.resolvedUrl("../myimages/").replace("file://", "image://shared/")
+ Image { source: imagePrefix + "myimage.png" }
+ \endcode
+
+ The shared image module does not provide any directly usable QML types.
