Animating in Canvas

[imyrvold]

I have the following qml canvas element, that fills an arc which I want to animate. The percent property goes from 0 to 100, and I want to smooth the filling with the commented out animation. The problem is that when I uncomment the behavior, the percent property is constant 100, and I don't know why.

Do anyone have a hint to what I could do here?

import QtQuick 2.0

Canvas {
id: canvas
width: 300
height: 300
antialiasing: true
property color fillStyle: "#ffffff" // white
property double percent: 100

// Behavior on percent {
// NumberAnimation {
// id: thermobehavior
// easing: {
// type: Easing.OutElastic
// amplitude: 1.0
// period: 0.5
// }
// }
// }

onPaint: {
    var ctx = getContext("2d")
    var radius = 220

    ctx.clearRect(0,0,300,300)

    ctx.fillStyle = canvas.fillStyle
    ctx.strokeStyle = canvas.fillStyle
    ctx.lineWidth = 2
    ctx.beginPath()
    ctx.moveTo(0,280)
    ctx.lineTo(60,280)
    ctx.lineTo(60,275)
    ctx.lineTo(0,275)
    ctx.fill()
    ctx.stroke()

    ctx.beginPath()
    ctx.moveTo(60,280)
    ctx.arcTo(60,10,300,10,radius)
    ctx.lineTo(300,10)

    ctx.lineTo(300,20)
    ctx.arcTo(70,20,70,280,radius-10)
    ctx.lineTo(70,280)
    ctx.lineTo(60,280)
    ctx.stroke()

    ctx.clip()
    ctx.beginPath()
    ctx.arc(300,280, 280, Math.PI,Math.PI+percent/100*0.5*Math.PI)
    ctx.lineTo(300,280)
    ctx.fillStyle = "white"
    ctx.fill()
}

}

It probably because the Behavior property doesn’t detect the change. Try changing the percent in Component.onCompleted instead:

...
property double percent: 0
Behavior on percent {
...
}
...
Component.onCompleted: percent = 100

I think you also should repaint the canvas while the percent prop's changing..
