    \qmlproperty variant QtGraphicalEffects1::OpacityMask::source

    This property defines the source item that is going to be masked.

*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty variant QtGraphicalEffects1::OpacityMask::maskSource

    This property defines the item that is going to be used as the mask. The mask item gets rendered into an intermediate pixel buffer and
    the alpha values from the result are used to determine the source item's pixels visibility in the display.

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool QtGraphicalEffects1::OpacityMask::cached

    This property allows the effect output pixels to be cached in order to
    improve the rendering performance.

    Every time the source or effect properties are changed, the pixels in the
    cache must be updated. Memory consumption is increased, because an extra
    buffer of memory is required for storing the effect output.

    It is recommended to disable the cache when the source or the effect
    properties are animated.

    By default, the property is set to \c false.
