Hi, I would like to implement a QQuickItem, that draws up to thousand objects where each object is composed of a position marker (symbol), a framed text label and a line connecting the marker and the label.
For the sake of efficiency, I would like to create a geometry node for each type of element (e.g. one node for all lines) and batch together the vertices of the lines, markers (realized as point sprites), and labels (textured quads). But doing it this way, the "natural" drawing order (objects should be drawn on top of each other) get lost. I would like to utilize the z-coordinate of the vertices to preserve the drawing order, e.g. by assigning a z-coordinate to each object. But I don't know how to achieve this, since the scene graph renderer also makes use of the z-coordinate and adjusts the model-view-projection matrix accordingly. Is it possible to utilize the z-coordinate of the vertices for this purpose (within a QuickItem)? Or is there a better solution?
