Effects are visual +items that can be added to Qt Quick user interface like UI components. -The API for each effect is a set of QML properties which can be animated just -like any other QML properties. The element documentation contains property descriptions -and basic usage examples. Currently there is no C++ API. - -Effects have been implemented with QML and GLSL. +The API consists of over 20 effects provided as separate QML types. The effects +cover functional areas such as blending, masking, blurring, coloring, and much more. \section1 Getting started To load Qt Graphical Effects, add the following import statement to your .qml file: \snippet snippets/Blend-example.qml import -\section1 Elements +To use the effects, simply add specific effect declaration to the QML scene and +configure the effects properties. Effects have one or more source properties for +setting the input graphics for which the specific effect is applied to and then +presented in the effect item itself. The source can be another, often hidden, +item in the QML scene. More complex effects can have multiple sources. Source item +type can be any QML type, even video or another effect.
