/*!
    \qmlproperty variant QtGraphicalEffects1::Displace::source

    This property defines the source item for the pixels that are going to be
    displaced according to the data from \l{Displace::displacementSource}{displacementSource}.

*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty variant QtGraphicalEffects1::Displace::displacementSource

    This property defines the item that is going to be used as the displacement
    map. The displacementSource item gets rendered into the intermediate pixel
    buffer. The red and green component values from the result determine the
    displacement of the pixels from the source item.

    The format for the displacement map is similar to the tangent space normal
    maps, which can be created with most 3D-modeling tools. Many image
    processing tools include the support for generating normal maps.
    Alternatively, the displacement map for this effect can also be a QML
    element which is colored appropriately. Like any QML element, it can be
    animated. It is recommended that the size of the diplacement map matches the
    size of the \l{Displace::source}{source}.

    The displace data is interpreted in the RGBA format. For every pixel: the
    red channel stores the x-axis displacement, and the green channel stores the
    y-axis displacement. Blue and alpha channels are ignored for this effect.

    Assuming that red channel value 1.0 is fully red (0.0 having no red at all),
    this effect considers pixel component value 0.5 to cause no displacement at
    all. Values above 0.5 shift pixels to the left, values below 0.5 do the
    shift to the right. In a similar way, green channel values above 0.5
    displace the pixels upwards, and values below 0.5 shift the pixels
    downwards. The actual amount of displacement in pixels depends on the \l
    displacement property.

*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty variant QtGraphicalEffects1::Displace::displacement

    This property defines the scale for the displacement. The bigger scale, the
    bigger the displacement of the pixels. The value set to 0.0 causes no
    displacement.

    The value ranges from -1.0 (inverted maximum shift, according to
    displacementSource) to 1.0 (maximum shift, according to displacementSource).
    By default, the property is set to \c 0.0 (no displacement).

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool QtGraphicalEffects1::Displace::cached

    This property allows the effect output pixels to be cached in order to improve the rendering performance.

    Every time the source or effect properties are changed, the pixels in the cache must be updated.
    Memory consumption is increased, because an extra buffer of memory is required for storing the effect output.

    It is recommended to disable the cache when the source or the effect properties are animated.

    By default, the property is set to \c false.
