import QtQuick 2.6
Rectangle {
width: 400
height: 300
Text {
anchors.centerIn: parent
font.pixelSize: 18
width: parent.width
wrapMode: Text.Wrap
text: "No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone."

Would it be possible to go into more detail with kit configuration for cross-platform development and remote deployment? Preferably with device configuration and deployment demonstration. To demonstrate the concept you could use any device, but I have a particular interest in a Raspberry Pi running Linux, and a Surface Pro running Windows 10.

Still having difficulty connecting to PostgreSQL from Qt. Looked at forums, followed their recommendations and still get "Not Loaded".There's a Russian and a Spanish step-by-step guide, which I find awkward to follow properly. Is there something very similar in English? Video plus text would be great. I'm using Windows 7 x64 and MingW. I can connect directly using pgAdmin3, Valentina Studio, MS-Visual Studio, SQL Studio for PSQL, LibreOffice... Hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to place a button widget over top of an QOpenGLWidget to make a UX comparable to Google maps? The button widget would be like the stationary user account button in Google maps while the map would live in the QOpenGLWidget. Ideally the button would be transparent. This person http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16889319/put-transparent-qwidget-on-top-of-qmediaview-in-qt5-on-ubuntu did something similar by making the button a separate window that tracked the main window, but is hackish.

Can I use QML to create an editable TableView that uses SQLite as the backend datastore? If so, how do I do this? If not, is there another technique I can use to achieve an editable table with a database backend?

What is the recommended approach for fetching and displaying images on iOS using Apple's Photos framework and Qt Quick? Simply invoking the default image picker is not sufficient because the intention is to allow the user to select multiple images. On Android this is fairly straightforward: fetch a set of URLs in C++, and pass them in a model to a QML view whose delegate includes an Image. However, it does not appear to be possible to use URLs in this way on iOS unless the image is an asset in the project. Moreover, iOS image data (NSData *) cannot be fed directly into the constructor for QImage, for example, with the idea of wrapping the QImage in a sub-class of QQuickPaintedItem. So, what can we do? Thank you!
