How to consider only half of the image element?

[JennyAug13]

Hi i have following qml code with pole, wheel and root elements. I want to add half of the pole to the right hand side of the wheel. How can i break the pole element into half and keep it in the animation? It would be nice if someone guides and I am a beginner.

import QtQuick 2.6
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
Window {
    visible: true!!
    width: root.width
    height: root.height
    property real halfPoleHeight: pole.height/2
    MouseArea{
        anchors.fill: parent
        onClicked: wheel.rotation += 360
    }
    Image {
        id: root
        source: "images/background.png"
        Image {
            id: pole
            //anchors.centerIn: parent
            anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
            anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
            source: "images/pole.png"
        }
        Image {
            id: wheel
            Behavior on rotation {
                NumberAnimation {
                    duration: 250
                }
            }
            anchors.centerIn: parent
            source: "images/pinwheel.png"
        }
    }
}

You could use anchors.horizontalCenterOffset to the pole image to slightly offset its position.

P.S. No need to embed the pole and wheel images inside the root image. Just declare them alongside each other.

@Diracsbracket Yeah. I tried, i can have two poles now, by using anchors.horizontalCenterOffset to the pole image to slightly offset its position. But my question is if i want to break the pole into two poles or reduce the length, can i use radius: property for my pole?

Why don't you draw the pole yourself rather than to use an off-centered .png image with non-symmetric left and right transparent margins?
