As my first subject for this animation blog series, we will be taking a look at Animation curves.
Curves, or better, easing curves, is one of the first concepts we are exposed to when dealing with the subject of animation in the QML space.
What are they?
Well, in simplistic terms, they are a description of an X position over a Time axis that starts in (0 , 0) and ends in (1 , 1). These curves are …
We have released version 2.8.0 of our Qt application introspection tool GammaRay. GammaRay allows you to observe behavior and data structures of Qt code inside your program live at runtime.
A big focus in this release is improvements to the Qt Quick inspector, which gained layout helper grids and Qt Quick Controls 2 tracing, as well as initial support for the software renderer. We have also optimized the performance of the remote view, which previously managed to saturate a …
As there were some complex issues around conformity in PDF document creation within Qt, KDAB let me spend some time digging into it so we could make sure that Qt’s PDF engine generates documents up to ISO-standard.
Nowadays, many official institutions have the requirement to archive their data digitally and PDF is a first class citizen for this purpose. However, since the overall PDF standard is too complex, to guarantee that PDF documents can be rendered in their entirety in …
Qt 5.9 has just been released!
This release marks two important milestones for the Qt Project. The first is that now the Qt 5 series has had more releases than any other Qt version ever (the last release of the Qt 4 series was Qt 4.8). The second milestone is that Qt 5.9 will be a Long Term Support release, therefore providing to many users a stable foundation to build their applications upon.
KDAB has been a significant contributor to …
That’s how things start, right? And in the beginning there were punch cards. The UI was rudimentary direct machine language, so we could say there was no UI. So let there be light!
In very simplistic terms that was a screen where one could type text (using a keyboard) and see the same text on the screen … maybe get some feedback on the results of a command. And let the animation begin! …
With an apology to English-speaking audiences 🙂
Anche quest’anno KDAB partecipa a QtDay, la conferenza italiana interamente dedicata a Qt. Giunta oramai alla sua sesta edizione, QtDay continua a crescere. Quest’anno QtDay si articola in 3 giorni: il primo dedicato a un training su QML, seguito da due giorni di conferenza vera e propria.
Durante la conferenza terrò due interventi:
(English speaking? Keep reading!)
Il prossimo Giugno parteciperò all’Italian C++ Conference 2017, la più importante conferenza italiana sul C++, sponsorizzata da KDAB.
L’evento è gratuito e si rivolge tanto ai programmatori esperti di C++ quanto a chi voglia avvicinarsi a questo linguaggio. L’edizione di quest’anno prevede due tracce, di cui una completamente in inglese, con ospiti internazionali d’eccezione: Phil Nash, Jens Weller, Bartosz Milewski e Dietmar Kühl.
L’appuntamento è per Sabato 17 …
KDAB è lieta di annunciare una data italiana per il corso Programmazione Qt/QML per sistemi embedded, che si svolgerà a Milano dal 12 al 14 settembre 2017.
Qt è un application framework moderno e ricco di funzionalità, utilizzato per realizzare applicazioni cross-platform per sistemi embedded, mobile e desktop. Qt è usato da oltre 800.000 sviluppatori in tutto il mondo per creare interfacce di domotica e home automation; sistemi di in-vehicle infotainment (IVI); pannelli di controllo industriale; applicazioni desktop …
Registrations for CppCon 2017 have just opened!
CppCon is the annual conference for the C++ community: five days packed with amazing talks, inspiring keynotes, panel discussions, hallway chats, funny evening events and much more.
CppCon is a project of the Standard C++ Foundation, a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to support the C++ software developer community and promote the understanding and use of modern, standard C++ on all compilers and platforms.
This year KDAB is proud to be hosting …
The last blog post in this series described how to use string-views. This post is about how to design one. In particular, it’s about QStringView‘s constructors. They evolved through a rapid succession of changes. These changes either fixed ambiguities between QString and QStringView overloads, or improved performance. And they all have the same solution: std::enable_if, the Swiss Army Knife for overload control.
This post will take you from where we naïvely started to where we made the impossible …
