            canvas.requestPaint()

        Rectangle {

                id: "hoverArea"

                ToolTip {
                    id:"exitInfo"
                    visible: hoverArea.containsMouse
                }
            }
      }
}

Only the color of mouse traces is defined correctly, unlike the background and it's strange.

P.S. Sorry for my English, it is my second language, I will try to be more clear if you don't understand something in my posts.

After reading some docs, I am sure you are not telling something.

You want to draw on something that is white, correct?
So your canvas must be a child of something that is white.

For instance:
Rectangle { color: white; Canvas { ... } }

Is that the case here?

Tikani

@peteritv Yes, you are correct. In my case I set Canvas as a child of a white Window, but Context2D shows me, suddenly, that the canvas is the child of the black Window. Though it is displayed as white.

peteritv

OK, I just run your example, and it seems to work.

I have a white background on which I can draw.
When I draw I see the traces of my mouse with a big "point" size.
Draw color is blue.

Everything seems to work.

Now, since I don't have your "Neuro" file, THAT may be your problem...

peteritv

We have a synchronisation issue here to :)

So when you run your program, you are drawing on a black thing?

peteritv

Where/How do you use Context2D?

peteritv

Ahhhh! I understand now! (I think)

You think that what ever background you choose, it will be part of your canvas?
That is NOT the case!

The canvas just is a container for some points being drawn!

For instance, you can take the canvas, and put it on something else like a red Rectangle.
It will still have the same points, but now on a red background.

In other words, the canvas does NOT hold any information at all about the background. It just knows about some pixels.

peteritv

So in your case, you need to fill your Canvas with white pixels itself.

So with ur ctx functions, draw a white rectangle first, which will be the base of your canvas for drawing on.

peteritv

So, instead of making your parent white:

Within your canvas, draw a white rectangle on start,
and then start drawing on that

peteritv

But that explaines why you see "black" instead of "white" on your Context2D

I am assuming you are just interested in the points, and not the background, for further processing.
So forget about the canvas background, ok?

Tikani

@peteritv Huge thanks, I finnally got what's going on! A visible background of working application is just a result of visual compositing the Canvas with it's parent and these two does not share any properties between each other. Thanks a lot again, I think it is very important to know such nuances.
