Perhaps you have been trying to do more with QML than just using the basic elements like rectangles, text and images, or maybe you have been struggling to implement a user interface that doesn't map well into these basic elements. If so, the QML Canvas may be just the solution you are looking for. In this post, we'll look at Canvas (1), a powerful and useful QML element that is part of Qt Quick.
Introduction
QtWebEngine (1) is a new web rendering engine that is planned to replace QtWebKit in Qt. In this blog post, I'll give a short tutorial describing how to build the current version of QtWebEngine on a Linux desktop system, so you can run some example applications and take a look at the features and API.
In part one of this series I introduced the BeagleBone Black, a low-cost embedded computer platform that supports Qt. In part two, we looked at how to get Qt 4 up and running on this platform. In this installment, we'll look at how to get the latest release of Qt, Qt 5, running on the BeagleBone Black.
As with Qt 4, we can choose from several approaches.
In this post, I will briefly describe a new class, QTimeZone (1), one of several that were introduced in Qt 5.2, and show an example application that uses it.
The QTimeZone class provides detailed information about world time zones, including how to convert between Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time, and local time for a specific time zone, with the details of daylight savings time changes as well.
