Particle painters, emitters, and affectors

Particles in Qt Quick are graphical elements such as images, QML items, and OpenGL shaders.

They can be made to move and flow in endless ways. 

Every particle is part of a ParticleGroup, which, by default, has an empty name. A ParticleGroup is a group of particle painters that allow for the timed animation transitions for the grouped particle painters.

The direction that particles are emitted is controlled by the Direction items which consist of these components: AngleDirection, PointDirection, and TargetDirection.

There are only a few types of particle painters you can use, but they cover just about everything you would want to use them for. Particle types available in Qt Quick are as follows:

• CustomParticle: A particle based on OpenGL shader
• ImageParticle: A particle based on an image...
