The best way of creating a HexagonView?

[RazrFalcon]

I have to implement a GridView alternative, which will lay out items in a honeycomb-like manner. It has to be interactive, so QQuickPaintedItem will be too expensive.
Should I simply fork the GridView implementation or is there are easier way?

I would do is at follows: extend QQuickPaintedItem for hexagon items on C++ side and simple Item with placing/movig logic on QML+JS side.

I'm not sure it's possible. I'm using a model as a source and I have to receive events from it. It's not just about placing.

Looks like a Repeater with a manual positioning and QQuickPaintedItem for hexagon's OpacityMask is the easiest solution.
