[PySide] animated fade

[Frank Rueter | OHUfx]

Hi,

I'm just trying to re-jig this example code to create an animated 
StackedWidget:

Currently the above creates two classes, one "FaderWidget" class and one 
"StackedWidget" class. The two work together to cross dissolve between 
whatever widgets are passed into the FaderWidget's constructor.

I am trying to re-write this to not have to pass the child widgets into 
the FaderWidget's constructor, but to use methods like "addWidget" to 
allow me to pass the children to an instance of the FaderWidget.

In other words, I'm trying to subclass QStackedWidget and give it the 
cross dissolve animation when setCurrentIndex is called on it, therefore 
simplifying the way the widget works and not having to deal with two 
classes.

Here is my attempt so far, but the problem is that the paintEvent is 
called to soon, i.e. before the child widgets are available to draw a 
pixmap of them.

Does anybody have an idea or comments on how to do this best? Maybe I 
should aim for a layout that does this instead (subclassing QStackedLayout)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
frank
