Implementing a Graphics Editor
Qt provides us with low-level graphics rendering using the QPainter class. Qt is capable of rendering both bitmap and vector images. In this chapter, we will learn how to draw shapes using Qt, and finally, create a paint program of our own.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Drawing vector shapes
- Saving vector images to an SVG file
- Creating a paint program
