Qt Quick Ultralite timeline Example

Demonstrates how to use Timeline in Qt Quick Ultralite.

Overview

The timeline example shows how to use the Timeline type. It displays a cyclic animation of two rectangles that change colors from red to green, while moving from left to right. It then stops the color animation and moves the rectangles towards the vertical center. After a while, the animations are played in reverse and at the end of this animation the cycle is restarted.

Target platforms

Project structure

CMake project file

The CMakeLists.txt file contains a build script for the example.

QmlProject file

To use the Timeline module, one must import to the Timeline's module:

    ...
        ModuleFiles {
                MCU.qulModules: ["Timeline"]
        }
    ...
Application's UI

timeline.qml defines the application UI that is shown on the screen.
