    \title Qt Quick Examples - Shader Effects
    \example shadereffects
    \image qml-shadereffects-example.png
    \brief A Qt Quick example demonstrating the use of shader effects.
    \ingroup qtquickexamples

    This example demonstrates a couple of visual effects that you can perform
    with shaders in Qt Quick. It applies five different effects on a text and
    a couple of images. For more information, visit
    \l{Important Concepts In Qt Quick - Graphical Effects}

    \section1 Using ShaderEffect

    The \l ShaderEffect type typically operates on other types, using a
    \l ShaderEffectSource:
    \snippet shadereffects/shadereffects.qml source

    In the above snippet, \c theItem is the ID of a complex QML object in the
    file.

    ShaderEffects can use this ShaderEffectSource as a texture in their fragment
    shader:
    \snippet shadereffects/shadereffects.qml fragment

    In order to support multiple graphics APIs, not just OpenGL, the shader
    source is not embedded into QML. When running with the graphics API
    independent scene graph, the actual file in use is a pre-generated shader
    pack containing multiple variants of the shader code. The appropriate
    shader is then chosen by Qt Quick, regardless of running on Vulkan, Metal,
    Direct 3D, or OpenGL. Qt automatically selects the file under the \c qsb
    selector, for example \c{shaders/+qsb/wobble.frag}, when present.

    You can use any custom property on the ShaderEffect in your shader. This
    makes animated shader code very easy:
    \snippet shadereffects/shadereffects.qml properties

    ShaderEffects can also have a custom vertext shader. Setting the mesh
    property on ShaderEffect provides more vertices for you to manipulate,
    enabling more effects.
