Drawing in QML

**JeffC** · 2nd June 2010, 20:53

I would like to use QML to draw different shapes or polygons such as triangles, diamonds, or simply diagonal lines. Is there a way to do this with the current version? If not will a future version have these features?
Thanks

I'm not sure I see what I'm supposed to see there. I would just like to draw some shape besides a rectangle or circle. I don't want to use an image file, and I don't want to use c++ to draw the image, only QML to draw it. Is that possible?
Thanks

The polygon class may be what you need http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qpolygon.html

No. Qt is a C++ library.

I did see that, but ideally I would like to be able to have the polygon drawn in QML before I apply any c++ code to it.

Why dont you simply use some image editor / creator , create a image file and use that image in QML ??

I want to be able to use all of the cool features of QML (ex: gradient), and I don't want to have to swap in and out pictures of every feature I want change (ex: the direction of the gradient).
