Is it possible to draw polygons with QML?

[trusktr]

For example, can I draw a triangle with QML then rotate it using QML features like Transition and State, etc?

There is QML open-source APIs called "qmlcanvas":http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-labs/qmlcanvas that might be useful if you insist on drawing with QML. For more info check the "other articles about it at Qt Developer Network":http://qt-project.org/search/tag/qmlcanvas.

For sure.

Either create your own QDeclarativeItem / QQuickItem in C++, use the Canvas element in QML (QtQuick 2) or pre-create your polygon in SVG.

Or in QtQuick2 you can also create your own custom item by inheriting from QQuickItem (draw using OpenGL) or QQuickPaintedItem (draw using QPainter).

Thanks guys. I'm talking about doing it explicitly in QML so I'll definitely check out Canvas. Is it possible to embed Qt Declarative items inside QML Components (a rectangle)?

[ZapB]

Yes, just make your custom item in C++, register the new type with QML and then instantiate it as a child of a rectangle in your .qml file.

Wow, cool. Qt is powerful. Can't wait to have a break from school to have some extensive sessions with Qt...
