Paint (gb.qt4)

This class is used for doing anti-aliased painting on various targets.

This class is static.

Constants
ExtendPad   Pixels outside of the brush copy the closest pixel.
ExtendReflect   The brush is tiled by reflecting at the edges.

LineCapButt   Specifies to render the endpoints of the path when stroking by starting(stopping) the line exactly at the start(end) point.
LineCapRound   Specifies to render the endpoints of the path when stroking by using a round ending, the center of the circle being the end point.
LineCapSquare   Specifies to render the endpoints of the path when stroking by using squared ending, the center of the square being the end point.

OperatorATop   Compositing operator that draws the source on top of destination content and only there.
OperatorAdd   Compositing operator that accumulates the source and destination layers.
OperatorClear   Compositing operator that clears the destination layer (bounded).
OperatorColorBurn   Composition operator that darkens the destination color to reflect the source color.

OperatorDarken   Compositing operator that replaces the destination with the source if it is darker, otherwise keeps the source.
OperatorDest   Compositing operator that ignores the source.
OperatorDestATop   Compositing operator that leaves the destination on top of source content and only there (unbounded).
OperatorDestIn   Compositing operator that leaves the destination only where there was source content (unbounded).
OperatorDestOut   Compositing operator that leaves the destination only where there was no source content.
OperatorDestOver   Compositing operator that draws the destination on top of the source.
OperatorDifference   Compositing operator that takes the difference of the source and destination color.
OperatorExclusion   Compositing operator that produces an effect similar to difference, but with lower contrast.
OperatorHardLight   Compositing operator that multiplies or screens, dependent on source color.
OperatorIn   Compositing operator that draws the source where there was destination content (unbounded).
OperatorLighten   Compositing operator that replaces the destination with the source if it is lighter, otherwise keeps the source.
OperatorMultiply   Compositing operator that multiply the source and destination layers. This causes the result to be at least as dark as the darker inputs.
OperatorOut   Compositing operator that draws the source where there was no destination content (unbounded).

Paint can draw on the following targets: Before starting drawing anything, you must call the Paint.Begin method by passing it the object you want to draw.

Then you can draw what you want in three steps: When your drawing is finished, you must call the Paint.End method.

The interface of this class is very close to the Cairo drawing model.
