I have a circle which I want to move smoothly on a path. The path class is like a horizontal U derived from the QPainterPath. when I start timer (QTimeLine object) the circle just jumps from the start of path to the end (start of upper U fork to the end of lower fork) with no smooth animation. Unfortunately, the QTimeLine::setLoopCount(int n) doesn't work too.
Do you have any idea about the reason?
// UPath(int forkLen, int forksDistance, QPointF startPoint)
UPath* uPath = new UPath(500, 60, QPointF(10, 10));
QList<QPointF> points = uPath->pathPoints(0.006); // returns the points of the path
// implemented by QPainterPath::pointAtPercent()
QGraphicsItem *ball = new QGraphicsEllipseItem(0, 0, 10, 10);
QTimeLine *timer = new QTimeLine(5000);
timer->setFrameRange(0, 100);
timer->setLoopCount(2); // doesn't work
QGraphicsItemAnimation *animation = new QGraphicsItemAnimation;
animation->setItem(ball);
animation->setTimeLine(timer);
for (int i = 0; i < points.count(); ++i)
animation->setPosAt(i/points.count(), points.at(i));
QGraphicsScene *scene = new QGraphicsScene();
scene->addItem(ball);
QGraphicsView *view = new QGraphicsView(scene);
view->setRenderHint(QPainter::Antialiasing);
view->show();
timer->start();
