clip always clips at the bounding rectangle of the Item that is clipping, and does not care for alpha-values.
However the LinearGradient has another tool, to achive what you want:
- the source-property.
See this example:
import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.0
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.4
import QtGraphicalEffects 1.0
Window {
width: 1024
height: 800
visible: true
Rectangle {
id: rect1
width: 100
height: 100
radius: 20
}
LinearGradient {
anchors.fill: rect1
source: rect1 <-- Here is where you specify its shape.
start: Qt.point(0, 0)
end: Qt.point(300, 300)
gradient: Gradient {
GradientStop { position: 0.0; color: "white" }
GradientStop { position: 1.0; color: "black" }
}
}
}
