    \brief The Analog Clock example shows how to draw the contents of a
    custom widget.

    This example also demonstrates how the transformation and scaling
    features of QPainter can be used to make drawing custom widgets
    easier.

    \section1 AnalogClock Class Definition

    The \c AnalogClock class provides a clock widget with hour, minute and
    second hands that is automatically updated every second.
    We subclass \l QWidget and reimplement the standard
    \l{QWidget::paintEvent()}{paintEvent()} function to draw the clock face:

    \section1 AnalogClock Class Implementation

    When the widget is constructed, we set up a one-second timer to
    keep track of the current time, and we connect it to the standard
    \l{QWidget::update()}{update()} slot so that the clock face is
    updated when the timer emits the \l{QTimer::timeout()}{timeout()}
    signal. Finally, we resize the widget so that it is displayed at a
    reasonable size.

    \snippet widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 1

    The \c paintEvent() function is called whenever the widget's
    contents need to be updated. This happens when the widget is
    first shown, and when it is covered then exposed, but it is also
    executed when the  widget's \l{QWidget::update()}{update()} slot
    is called. Since we connected the timer's
    \l{QTimer::timeout()}{timeout()} signal to this slot, it will be
    called at least once per second.

    Before we set up the painter and draw the clock, we first define
    three lists of \l {QPoint}s and three \l{QColor}s that will be used
    for the hour, minute and second hands. We use the
    \l{QWidget::palette()}{palette()} function to get appropriate colors
    that fit into the rest of the window, both in light and dark mode.
    The hour and minute hands are drawn in the foreground color, the
    second hand is drawn in the accent color.

    We also determine the length of the widget's shortest side so that we
    can fit the clock face inside the widget. It is also useful to determine
    the current time before we start drawing.

    The contents of custom widgets are drawn with a QPainter.
    Painters can be used to draw on any QPaintDevice, but they are
    usually used with widgets, so we pass the widget instance to the
    painter's constructor.

    \snippet widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 11
    \snippet widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 14

    We call QPainter::setRenderHint() with QPainter::Antialiasing to
    turn on antialiasing. This makes drawing of diagonal lines much
    smoother.

    \snippet widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 12

    The translation moves the origin to the center of the widget, and
    the scale operation ensures that the following drawing operations
    are scaled to fit within the widget. We use a scale factor that
    let's us use x and y coordinates between -100 and 100, and that
    ensures that these lie within the length of the widget's shortest
    side.

    \snippet widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 13

    To make our code simpler, we will draw a fixed size clock face that will
    be positioned and scaled so that it lies in the center of the widget.

    The painter takes care of all the transformations made during the
    paint event, and ensures that everything is drawn correctly. Letting
    the painter handle transformations is often easier than performing
    manual calculations just to draw the contents of a custom widget.

    We set the pen to be Qt::NoPen because we don't want any outline,
    and we use a solid brush with the color appropriate for
    displaying hours. Brushes are used when filling in polygons and
    other geometric shapes.

    \snippet widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 15

    We draw the hour hand first, using a formula that rotates the coordinate
    system counterclockwise by a number of degrees determined by the current
    hour and minute. This means that the hand will be shown rotated clockwise
    by the required amount.
    We save and restore the transformation matrix before and after the
    rotation because we want to place the minute hand without having to
    take into account any previous rotations.

    \snippet widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 17
    \snippet widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 19

    We draw markers around the edge of the clock for each hour in the same
    color as the hour hand. We draw each marker then rotate the coordinate
    system so that the painter is ready for the next one.

    \snippet widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 20

    The minute hand is rotated and painted in a similar way to the hour hand.

    \snippet widgets/analogclock/analogclock.cpp 21

    For the seconds hand we do the same and add two cicles as a visual highlight.

    Finally, we draw markers around the edge of the clock, indicating
    minutes and seconds. This time we draw them as lines and therefore
    set the pen to the respective color.
