In this tutorial, we explored some of the capabilities of the Qt Quick Canvas type. We developed a nice looking pie chart visualization and ported HTML5 Canvas code to Qt Quick. If you want to learn more about the canvas API, you can refer to some of the HTML5 tutorials available on the internet.
Here is a small list of such tutorials:
- http://www.html5canvastutorials.com - A page dedicated to HTML5 Canvas tutorials
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Canvas_tutorial - An HTML5 Canvas tutorial on the Mozilla Developer Network
- http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/html-5-canvas-the-basics - HTML5 Canvas basics on the Opera developer portal
- http://www.canvasdemos.com - A page presenting HTML5 Canvas demos
The Qt Webkit Guide about canvas graphics [http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtwebkit-guide-canvas.html] also gives a detailed introduction to the HTML5 Canvas API. Also note this very handy cheat sheet [http://blog.nihilogic.dk/2009/02/html5-canvas-cheat-sheet.html].
