Detailed Description

The UbuntuShapeOverlay is a rounded rectangle (based on a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squircle">squircle) containing a set of layers composed, from top to bottom, of a colored rectangle overlay, an optional source image and a background color (solid or linear gradient). Different properties allow to change the look of the shape.

Example:

import Ubuntu.Components 1.2
UbuntuShapeOverlay {
backgroundColor: "white"
overlayColor: "black"
overlayRect: Qt.rect(0.25, 0.25, 0.5, 0.5)
}

Property Documentation

overlayColor : color

This property sets the color of the overlay rectangle defined by overlayRect. The default value is transparent black.

This QML property was introduced in Ubuntu.Components 1.2.


overlayRect : http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-rect.html">rect

This property sets the overlay rectangle. The default value is the empty rectangle.

It is defined by a position and a size in normalized item coordinates (in the range between 0 and 1) with the origin at the top-left corner. An overlay covering the bottom part and starting at the vertical center can be done like that:

UbuntuShapeOverlay {
width: 200; height: 200
overlayColor: Qt.rgba(0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 0.5)
overlayRect: Qt.rect(0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 0.5)
}

Converting a position and a size in pixels to normalized item coordinates can be done with a division by the size. Here is an equivalent of the previous code sample:

UbuntuShapeOverlay {
width: 200; height: 200
overlayColor: Qt.rgba(0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 0.5)
overlayRect: Qt.rect(100.0/width, 100.0/height, 200.0/width, 100.0/height)
}

A geometry exceeding the item area is cropped.

This QML property was introduced in Ubuntu.Components 1.2.
