# Qt 5 Compatibility APIs: Graphical Effect QML Types

The Qt Graphical Effects module provides a set of QML types for adding visually impressive and configurable effects to user interfaces. Effects are visual items that can be added to Qt Quick user interface as UI components.

To use the types in this module, import the module with the following line:

     import Qt5Compat.GraphicalEffects

Note: The Qt Graphical Effects module is provided for compatibility with applications written for Qt 5.
