GPL-3.0-only AND (GPL-3.0-only WITH Qt-GPL-exception-1.0) AND BSD-3-Clause AND Zlib
Accelerated 2D painting library for Qt Quick and QRhi-based applications.
Why you might care
Qt Canvas Painter is a specialized rendering library for Qt applications that need high-performance 2D graphics on modern graphics hardware. It's a dependency for Qt Quick applications that leverage QRhi (Qt Rendering Hardware Interface) for cross-platform GPU-accelerated drawing, offering better performance than CPU-based painting for complex scenes.
