详细描述

The Canvas item allows drawing of straight and curved lines, simple and complex shapes, graphs, and referenced graphic images. It can also add text, colors, shadows, gradients, and patterns, and do low level pixel operations. The Canvas output may be saved as an image file or serialized to a URL.

Rendering to the Canvas is done using a Context2D object, usually as a result of the paint 信号。

To define a drawing area in the Canvas item set the width and height properties. For example, the following code creates a Canvas item which has a drawing area with a height of 100 pixels and width of 200 pixels:

import QtQuick 2.0
Canvas {
    id: mycanvas
    width: 100
    height: 200
    onPaint: {
        var ctx = getContext("2d");
        ctx.fillStyle = Qt.rgba(1, 0, 0, 1);
        ctx.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
    }
}
					

Currently the Canvas item only supports the two-dimensional rendering context.

Threaded Rendering and Render Target

In Qt 6.0 the Canvas item supports one render target: Canvas.Image .

The Canvas.Image render target is a QImage object. This render target supports background thread rendering, allowing complex or long running painting to be executed without blocking the UI. This is the only render target that is supported by all Qt Quick backends.

The default render target is Canvas.Image and the default renderStrategy is Canvas.Immediate.

Pixel Operations

All HTML5 2D context pixel operations are supported. In order to ensure improved pixel reading/writing performance the Canvas.Image render target should be chosen.

Tips for Porting Existing HTML5 Canvas Applications

Although the Canvas item provides an HTML5-like API, HTML5 canvas applications need to be modified to run in the Canvas item:

  • Replace all DOM API calls with QML property bindings or Canvas item methods.
  • Replace all HTML event handlers with the MouseArea 项。
  • Change setInterval/setTimeout function calls with the Timer item or the use of requestAnimationFrame ().
  • Place painting code into the onPaint handler and trigger painting by calling the markDirty () 或 requestPaint () 方法。
  • To draw images, load them by calling the Canvas's loadImage () method and then request to paint them in the onImageLoaded handler.

Starting Qt 5.4, the Canvas is a 纹理提供程序 and can be used directly in ShaderEffects and other classes that consume texture providers.

注意: In general large canvases, frequent updates, and animation should be avoided with the Canvas.Image render target. This is because with accelerated graphics APIs each update will lead to a texture upload. Also, if possible, prefer QQuickPaintedItem and implement drawing in C++ via QPainter instead of the more expensive and likely less performing JavaScript and Context2D approach.

特性文档编制

available : bool [read-only]

Indicates when Canvas is able to provide a drawing context to operate on.

canvasSize : size

Holds the logical canvas size that the context paints on.

By default, the canvas size is the same size as the current canvas item size.

By setting the canvasSize, tileSize and canvasWindow, the Canvas item can act as a large virtual canvas with many separately rendered tile rectangles. Only those tiles within the current canvas window are painted by the Canvas render engine.

另请参阅 tileSize and canvasWindow .

context : 对象 [read-only]

Holds the active drawing context.

If the canvas is ready and there has been a successful call to getContext () 或 contextType property has been set with a supported context type, this property will contain the current drawing context, otherwise null.

contextType : string

The type of drawing context to use.

This property is set to the name of the active context type.

If set explicitly the canvas will attempt to create a context of the named type after becoming available.

The type name is the same as used in the getContext () call, for the 2d canvas the value will be "2d".

另请参阅 getContext () 和 available .

renderStrategy : enumeration

Holds the current canvas rendering strategy.

常量 描述
Canvas.Immediate context will perform graphics commands immediately in the main UI thread.
Canvas.Threaded context will defer graphics commands to a private rendering thread.
Canvas.Cooperative context will defer graphics commands to the applications global render thread.

This hint is supplied along with renderTarget to the graphics context to determine the method of rendering. A renderStrategy, renderTarget or a combination may not be supported by a graphics context, in which case the context will choose appropriate options and Canvas will signal the change to the properties.

Configuration or runtime tests may cause the QML Scene Graph to render in the GUI thread. Selecting Canvas.Cooperative , does not guarantee rendering will occur on a thread separate from the GUI thread.

默认值为 Canvas.Immediate .

另请参阅 renderTarget .

renderTarget : enumeration

Holds the current canvas render target.

常量 描述
Canvas.Image Render to an in-memory image buffer.
Canvas.FramebufferObject As of Qt 6.0, this value is ignored.

This hint is supplied along with renderStrategy to the graphics context to determine the method of rendering. A renderStrategy , renderTarget or a combination may not be supported by a graphics context, in which case the context will choose appropriate options and Canvas will signal the change to the properties.

The default render target is Canvas.Image .

信号文档编制

imageLoaded ()

This signal is emitted when an image has been loaded.

注意: 相应处理程序是 onImageLoaded .

另请参阅 loadImage ().

paint ( rect region )

此信号发射当 region needs to be rendered. If a context is active it can be referenced from the context property.

This signal can be triggered by markdirty(), requestPaint () or by changing the current canvas window.

注意: 相应处理程序是 onPaint .

painted ()

This signal is emitted after all context painting commands are executed and the Canvas has been rendered.

注意: 相应处理程序是 onPainted .

方法文档编制

cancelRequestAnimationFrame ( int handle )

This function will cancel the animation callback referenced by handle .

对象 getContext ( string contextId , ... args )

Returns a drawing context, or null if no context is available.

The contextId parameter names the required context. The Canvas item will return a context that implements the required drawing mode. After the first call to getContext, any subsequent call to getContext with the same contextId will return the same context object. Any additional arguments ( args ) are currently ignored.

If the context type is not supported or the canvas has previously been requested to provide a different and incompatible context type, null 将被返回。

Canvas only supports a 2d context.

isImageError ( url image )

返回 true image failed to load, false 否则。

另请参阅 loadImage ().

isImageLoaded ( url image )

返回 true 若 image is successfully loaded and ready to use.

另请参阅 loadImage ().

isImageLoading ( url image )

返回 true 若 image is currently loading.

另请参阅 loadImage ().

loadImage ( url image , size sourceSize = undefined)

Loads the given image asynchronously.

Once the image is ready, imageLoaded () signal will be emitted. The loaded image can be unloaded with the unloadImage () 方法。

注意: Only loaded images can be painted on the Canvas item.

sourceSize is specified, the image will be scaled to that size during loading. This is useful for loading scalable (vector) images (eg. SVGs) at their intended display size. This parameter was introduced in Qt 6.7.

另请参阅 unloadImage (), imageLoaded (), isImageLoaded (), Context2D::createImageData (),和 Context2D::drawImage ().

markDirty ( rect area )

标记给定 area as dirty, so that when this area is visible the canvas renderer will redraw it. This will trigger the paint 信号。

另请参阅 paint and requestPaint ().

int requestAnimationFrame ( callback )

This function schedules callback to be invoked before composing the Qt Quick scene.

requestPaint ()

Request the entire visible region be re-drawn.

另请参阅 markDirty ().

bool save ( string filename , size imageSize = undefined)

Saves the current canvas content into an image file filename . The saved image format is automatically decided by the filename 's suffix. Returns true on success. If imageSize is specified, the resulting image will have this size, and will have a devicePixelRatio of 1.0 . Otherwise, the devicePixelRatio () of the window in which the canvas is displayed is applied to the saved image.

注意: Calling this method will force painting the whole canvas, not just the current canvas visible window.

另请参阅 canvasWindow , canvasSize ,和 toDataURL ().

string toDataURL ( string mimeType )

Returns a data URL for the image in the canvas.

默认 mimeType is "image/png".

另请参阅 save ().

unloadImage ( url image )

Unloads the image .

Once an image is unloaded, it cannot be painted by the canvas context unless it is loaded again.
