View Full Version : How to make an QGraphicsObject animation?

Hi,

I am new on this forum.

I am making an application. it consits of:
1 QGraphicsView
1 QGraphicsScene
1 QGraphicsObject derived class.

the derived class has emits a signal when clicked, an the application goes to another state, but before it goes, it has to first animate the QGrapchisObject derived class,
that is inside the scene.

I have a list of images, and I have to animate the sequence without erasing the first image.

I think about creating a class to do the work.


#ifndef GRAPHIC_H
#define GRAPHIC_H

#include <QGraphicsObject>
#include <QtCore>

class Graphic : public QGraphicsObject
{
Q_OBJECT
protected:
QPixmap image;

public:
enum {Type = GraphicType};
int type() const { return Type;}

Graphic(const QPixmap &pix,
const QPointF & point = QPointF(),
QGraphicsItem *parent = 0);

signals:
void clicked();
};

#endif // GRAPHIC_H




#ifndef ANIMATIONHELPER_H
#define ANIMATIONHELPER_H

#include <QObject>

class Graphic;
class QGraphicsScene;

class AnimationHelper : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
QList<Graphic *> m_sequence;
QGraphicsScene *m_scene;

public:
explicit AnimationHelper(QObject *parent = 0);
explicit AnimationHelper(int pause, int duration, QGraphicsScene *scene, QObject *parent = 0);
int m_pause;
int m_duration;
bool empty;
public:
AnimationHelper(QGraphicsScene *scene, QObject *parent = 0);
void addGraphic(Graphic * myG);

public slots:
void onGraphicClicked();

signals:
void clicked();

};

#endif // ANIMATIONHELPER_H


//implementation

MyAnimationHelper::onMyGraphicsClicked()
{
QSequentialAnimationGroup *animationGroup = new QSequentialAnimationGroup(this);
animationGroup->addPause(m_pause;);
foreach(Graphics *g, m_sequence)
{
scene->addItem(g);
QPropertyAnimation *animation = new QPropertyAnimation(g, "opacity", this);
animation->setDuration(m_duration;);
animation->setStartValue(qreal(0));
animation->setEndValue(qreal(1));
animationGroup->addAnimation(animation);
}
animationGroup->start(QAbstractAnimation::DeleteWhenStopped);

emit clicked();
}

#include <QSequentialAnimationGroup>
#include <QPropertyAnimation>
#include "animationhelper.h"
#include "graphic.h"

AnimationHelper::AnimationHelper(QObject *parent) :
QObject(parent)
{
}

AnimationHelper::AnimationHelper(int pause, int duration, QGraphicsScene *scene, QObject *parent) :
QObject(parent), m_pause(pause), m_duration(duration), empty(true)
{
m_scene = scene;
}

void AnimationHelper::addGraphic(Graphic * myG)
{
if(empty)
{
empty = false;
myG->setProperty("opacity", 1);
m_scene->addItem(myG);
connect(myG, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(onGraphicClicked()));
}
else
{
myG->setProperty("opacity", 0);
m_scene->addItem(myG);
m_sequence.append(myG);
}
}

void AnimationHelper::onGraphicClicked()
{
QSequentialAnimationGroup *animationGroup = new QSequentialAnimationGroup(this);
animationGroup->addPause(m_pause);
foreach(Graphic *g, m_sequence)
{
QPropertyAnimation *animation = new QPropertyAnimation(g, "opacity", this);
animation->setDuration(m_duration);
animation->setStartValue(qreal(0));
animation->setEndValue(qreal(1));
animationGroup->addAnimation(animation);
}
animationGroup->start(QAbstractAnimation::DeleteWhenStopped);
emit clicked();
}


I think you could get the idea, this actually works, but the main thing is that I dont know if there is a better way of making the animation.

Best Regards.

Looks ok to me. You probably could use the state machine as well but only if it fits your other goals.

Hi!

Thank you for your answer!
I am going to continue with my plan!
I am using the state machine to start and stop diferent animations at the same time.
