Animation in Qt Widgets
The animation framework simplifies the process of animating a GUI element by allowing its properties to be animated. Easing curves are used to control the animations. Easing curves describe a function that controls the animation's speed, resulting in various acceleration and deceleration patterns. Qt supports linear, quadratic, cubic, quartic, sine, exponential, circular, and elastic easing curves. The property animation class provided by Qt, known as the QPropertyAnimation class, is one of the more common ways to animate a GUI element. This class is part of the animation framework, and it uses Qt's timer system to change the properties of a GUI element over a specified time period.
To create animations for our GUI application, Qt provides us with several subsystems, including a timer, timeline, animation framework, state machine framework, and the Graphics View framework.
