0001 # Piping example
0002
0003 This example shows how to use piping components provided by [CuteHMI.Symbols.Pipes.1](../../../../Symbols/Pipes.1/) extension.
0004
0005 To run the example use [cutehmi.view.4](../../../../../../tools/cutehmi.view.4/) tool.

0010 A remark on Qt Creator.
0011
0012 \snippet View.qml Red-blue pipe
0013
0014 Qt Creator may refuse to render this pipe in "Design" mode. PipeConnector objects are created within named properties of red and
0015 blue rectangles.
0016
0017 \snippet View.qml Red rectangle outlet property
0018
0019 It comes out Qt Creator has troubles with such bindings if component is defined inplace. It would render pipe correctly however, if
0020 rectangles were defined in separate QML files. Thus if one wants to use PipeConnector objects as item properties with Qt Creator in
0021 "Design" mode, he has to pack such code into custom QML component. For example red rectangle code below could be moved to
0022 `RedRectangle.qml` file.
