[Interest] QQuickProviders and proper drawing / caching?

[Gunnar Roth]

Hi Jason,
it seems you missed this in the docs:

sourceSize : QSize

This property holds the actual width and height of the loaded image.

Unlike the width and height properties, which scale the painting of the 
image, this property sets the actual number of pixels stored for the 
loaded image so that large images do not use more memory than necessary. 
For example, this ensures the image in memory is no larger than 
1024x1024 pixels, regardless of the Image's width and height values:

Rectangle {
     width: ...
     height: ...

     Image {
        anchors.fill: parent
        source: "reallyBigImage.jpg"
        sourceSize.width: 1024
        sourceSize.height: 1024
     }
}

Regards,
Gunnar Roth

>Image Caching
>Images returned by a QQuickImageProvider are automatically cached, similar to any image loaded by the QML engine. When an image with a "image://" prefix is loaded from cache, requestImage() and requestPixmap() will not be called for the relevant image provider. If an image should always be fetched from the image provider, and should not be cached at all, set the cache property to false for the relevant Image, BorderImage or AnimatedImage object.
