Detailed Description

A gradient is defined by two or more colors, which are blended seamlessly. The colors start from the specified angle and end at 360 degrees larger angle value.

Effect applied

Note: This effect is available when running with OpenGL.

Example

The following example shows how to apply the effect.

import QtQuick 2.12
import QtGraphicalEffects 1.12

Item {
    width: 300
    height: 300

    ConicalGradient {
        anchors.fill: parent
        angle: 0.0
        gradient: Gradient {
            GradientStop { position: 0.0; color: "white" }
            GradientStop { position: 1.0; color: "black" }
        }
    }
}

Property Documentation

angle : real

This property defines the starting angle where the color at the gradient position of 0.0 is rendered. Colors at larger position values are rendered into larger angle values and blended seamlessly. Angle values increase clockwise.

Output examples with different angle values

angle: 0 angle: 45 angle: 185
horizontalOffset: 0horizontalOffset: 0horizontalOffset: 0
verticalOffset: 0verticalOffset: 0verticalOffset: 0

cached : bool

This property allows the effect output pixels to be cached in order to improve the rendering performance.

Every time the source or effect properties are changed, the pixels in the cache must be updated. Memory consumption is increased, because an extra buffer of memory is required for storing the effect output.

It is recommended to disable the cache when the source or the effect properties are animated.

By default, the property is set to false.


gradient : Gradient

A gradient is defined by two or more colors, which are blended seamlessly. The colors are specified as a set of GradientStop child items, each of which defines a position on the gradient (from 0.0 to 1.0), and a color. The position of each GradientStop is defined by the position property. The color is defined by the color property.

Output examples with different gradient values

gradient:
Gradient {
  GradientStop {
     position: 0.000
     color: Qt.rgba(1, 0, 0, 1)
  }
  GradientStop {
     position: 0.167
     color: Qt.rgba(1, 1, 0, 1)
  }
  GradientStop {
     position: 0.333
     color: Qt.rgba(0, 1, 0, 1)
  }
  GradientStop {
     position: 0.500
     color: Qt.rgba(0, 1, 1, 1)
  }
  GradientStop {
     position: 0.667
     color: Qt.rgba(0, 0, 1, 1)
  }
  GradientStop {
     position: 0.833
     color: Qt.rgba(1, 0, 1, 1)
  }
  GradientStop {
     position: 1.000
     color: Qt.rgba(1, 0, 0, 1)
  }
}
gradient:
Gradient {
  GradientStop {
     position: 0.0
     color: "#F0F0F0"
  }
  GradientStop {
     position: 0.5
     color: "#000000"
  }
  GradientStop {
     position: 1.0
     color: "#F0F0F0"
  }
}
gradient:

  GradientStop {
     position: 0.0
     color: "#00000000"
  }
  GradientStop {
    position: 1.0
    color: "#FF000000"
  }
}

verticalOffset: 0verticalOffset: 0verticalOffset: 0

horizontalOffset : real

The horizontalOffset and verticalOffset properties define the offset in pixels for the center point of the gradient compared to the item center.

The value ranges from -inf to inf. By default, the properties are set to 0.

Output examples with different horizontalOffset values

horizontalOffset: -50 horizontalOffset: 0 horizontalOffset: 50
angle: 0angle: 0angle: 0
verticalOffset: 0verticalOffset: 0verticalOffset: 0

source : variant

This property defines the item that is going to be filled with gradient. Source item gets rendered into an intermediate pixel buffer and the alpha values from the result are used to determine the gradient's pixels visibility in the display. The default value for source is undefined and in that case whole effect area is filled with gradient.

Output examples with different source values

source: undefined source:
angle: 0angle: 0
horizontalOffset: 0horizontalOffset: 0
verticalOffset: 0verticalOffset: 0

Note: It is not supported to let the effect include itself, for instance by setting source to the effect's parent.


verticalOffset : real

The horizontalOffset and verticalOffset properties define the offset in pixels for the center point of the gradient compared to the item center.

The value ranges from -inf to inf. By default, the properties are set to 0.

Output examples with different horizontalOffset values

horizontalOffset: -50 horizontalOffset: 0 horizontalOffset: 50
angle: 0angle: 0angle: 0
verticalOffset: 0verticalOffset: 0verticalOffset: 0
