Detailed Description

The AnimatedImage type extends the features of the Image type, providing a way to play animations stored as images containing a series of frames, such as those stored in GIF files.

Information about the current frame and total length of the animation can be obtained using the currentFrame and frameCount properties. You can start, pause and stop the animation by changing the values of the playing and paused properties.

The full list of supported formats can be determined with QMovie::supportedFormats().

Example Usage

The following QML shows how to display an animated image and obtain information about its state, such as the current frame and total number of frames. The result is an animated image with a simple progress indicator underneath it.

Note: Unlike images, animated images are not cached or shared internally.

import QtQuick 2.0

Rectangle {
    width: animation.width; height: animation.height + 8

    AnimatedImage { id: animation; source: "animation.gif" }

    Rectangle {
        property int frames: animation.frameCount

        width: 4; height: 8
        x: (animation.width - width) * animation.currentFrame / frames
        y: animation.height
        color: "red"
    }
}
