Introduction

In this chapter, we will learn how to render 2D graphics onscreen with Qt. Internally, Qt uses a low-level class called QPainter to render its widgets on the main window. Qt allows us to access and use the QPainter class for drawing vector graphics, text, 2D images, and even 3D graphics.

You can make use of the QPainter class to create your own custom widgets or to create programs that rely heavily on rendering computer graphics such as video games, photo editors, and 3D modeling tools.
