Tracing Drawings

[RY]

If you created a drawing, and you wanted to trace (highlight it with a different color) parts of it at different times and illustrate this to the user, how would you go about doing that?

For example, if you had a blue circle and you wanted to trace 1/4 of its circumference with red. You wanted the 1/4 to be traced with red so that the user sees it. So the result would be a circle that is 3/4 blue and 1/4 red.

Then the user could click a continue button to see the tracing of the rest of the circle. Then the whole circle would be red.

I understand you are asking about the graphics view framework... In that case activate hover events for your item and implement the glow in the paint routine.

Thanks for your speedy reply!

What class is that under? Is it under QGraphicsItem?

If it's not too much trouble, could you give me an example code?
