doc: Expand module docs for Qt Quick Shapes
Give an overview of the module and some handy links and tips. This
also adds a note on how to get anti-aliasing with the shapes, as well
as a link to PathText as one of the supported element types.

Qt Quick Shapes provides tools for drawing arbitrary shapes in a Qt Quick scene.
|
||||
\l{Shape}{Shapes} can be constructed from basic building blocks like \l{PathLine}{lines} and
|
||||
\l{PathCubic}{curves} that define sub-shapes. The sub-shapes can then be filled with solid
|
||||
colors or gradients, and an outline stroke can be defined.
|
||||
|
||||
Qt Quick Shapes also supports higher level path element types, such as \l{PathText}{text} and
|
||||
\l{PathSvg}{SVG path descriptions}. The currently supported element types is: PathMove,
|
||||
PathLine, PathQuad, PathCubic, PathArc, PathText and PathSvg.
|
||||
|
||||
Qt Quick Shapes triangulates the shapes and renders the corresponding triangles on the GPU.
|
||||
Therefore, altering the control points of elements will lead to re-triangulation of the
|
||||
affected paths, at some performance cost. In addition, curves are flattened before they are
|
||||
rendered, so applying a very high scale to the shape may show artifacts where it is visible
|
||||
that the curves are represented by a sequence of smaller, straight lines.
|
||||
|
||||
\note Qt Quick Shapes relies on multi-sampling for anti-aliasing. This can be enabled for the
|
||||
entire application or window using the corresponding settings in QSurfaceFormat. It can also
|
||||
be enabled for only the shape, by setting its \l{Item::layer.enabled}{layer.enabled} property to
|
||||
true and then adjusting the \l{Item::layer.samples}{layer.samples} property. In the latter case,
|
||||
multi-sampling will not be applied to the entire scene, but the shape will be rendered via an
|
||||
intermediate off-screen buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
For further information, the \l{Qt Quick Examples - Shapes}{Shapes example} shows how to
|
||||
implement different types of shapes, fills and strokes.
