Best way to animate a circle moving around a screen in Qt?

Question

If I wanted to, using Qt, simply have some circles move around in a white box, or a graphic, what would be the best method of this?

Would I need to draw white/the graphic behind where the circle moved from every time? Is there a simple way of accomplishing this in Qt?

Answer 1

1. Create QGraphicsView object to your widget and added a QGraphicsScene to view.
2. Add a QGraphicsEllipseItem to scene
3. Use QPropertyAnimation to change the "pos" property of the ellipse item.

If you need more advanced features, you can build your own animation class on QPropertyAnimation.

enjoy it:)
