Abstract

As you design GUIs, you will find out that you can also explore your creative and artistic side through drawing and animating widgets. Since graphics are such an immense part of graphical applications, this chapter is only able to introduce topics related to 2D graphics, including lines, shapes, animations, and painting. If you are interested in creating GUIs that work with 3D visuals, Qt also has support for various graphics APIs, including OpenGL and Vulkan. If you are really interested in graphics in Qt 6, have a look at https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/topics-graphics.html.
