[Interest] QQuickProviders and proper drawing / caching?

[Gunnar Roth]

Hi Jason,
another adavantage of the default is that the cached image can be used 
for multiple items with different sizes using the same image by default.

Regards,
Gunnar

>>>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.

>>>However setting cache: false in the Image element does not change anything.

>>>I've also set
>>>painter.setRenderHint(QPainter::Antialiasing, false);
>>>painter.setRenderHint(QPainter::SmoothPixmapTransform, false);
>>>In painter and I still get blurry output. I want aliased pixels like in the Concentric Circles example.
>>>
>>>I've tried various achorings, fillModes, widths and heights.
>>>
>>>Does anyone have any pointers? I would expect that the requested size be the pixel dimensions of the Image requesting it?
