Thiago, you're probably reading my later post about the confusion of 
QGuiApplication right about now. :-) The information that you've shared in this 
thread has been invaluable, but it isn't in the docs. Paraphrasing, the docs 
state:
- QApplication is for widget based apps, 
- QGui is for plug-in based apps, 
- QCoreApplication has an vent loop but no GUI 

But for people in my position, knowing that QGuiApplication with offscreen 
platform the raster implementation we are looking for, is not immediately 
obvious. It took you saying that for me to know that. I don't see how it can be 
gleamed from the docs.

Anyway, thank you so much for the insight. :-)
