[Solved] Is it possible to achieve some kind of GLOW TEXT in QML?

inblueswithu

Hi,

While I was watching Oblivion (2013) Movie. I saw this "display ":http://picpaste.com/vlcsnap-2013-09-02-18h05m56s24-qqMT1eIU.png which has kind of glowing Text!
Can we achieve that with QML?
I dnt mean to use photoshop on some image. I want real text to be displayed like that!?

Regards,

I haven't used it with text. I'm not 100% sure it will work, but I think you can set the source to text.

Woww... ! <3 u learc83. It did exactly what I needed.
That was fast and perfect.
Do you know which font is that in that picture in the 1st post?
@import QtQuick 2.0
import QtGraphicalEffects 1.0

Item {
width: 300
height: 300

Rectangle {
    anchors.fill: parent
    color: "black"
}

Text {
    id: butterfly
    text: qsTr("Butterfly")

    font.family: "Century Gothic"
    font.pointSize: 40
    color: "#b2f3ef"

    visible: false
    smooth: true
    anchors.centerIn: parent
}

Glow {
    radius: 8
    samples: 16
    color: "lightblue"
    source: butterfly
    anchors.fill: butterfly
}

}

Sorry, not sure about the font. You might want to post the picture on a typography forum.

I dnt know why this glow is not applying for a Rectangle element.
Here is the code: http://pastebin.com/PL4dWWdM

yes, I found "this":http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-stable/qtgraphicaleffects/qml-qtgraphicaleffects1-rectangularglow.html for Rectangle glow. But I dnt know why it is making the corners rounded with out my consent. Guess it is due to the default cornerRadius property
