QCustomCompass
A heading / compass rose.
A painted compass: a tick ring with N / E / S / W (+ intercardinals), a
two-tone needle and a centre readout (16-point cardinal + degrees). Set the
heading (0-360°, 0 = North = up); it eases to the new bearing when animated.
Two looks (rotateBezel):
False (default) - a FIXED rose, the needle rotates to the heading.
True - a rotating COMPASS CARD: the needle stays up and the whole
rose spins so the heading sits at the top (aircraft / marine style).
Interactive: drag around the centre to set the heading (opt-out via
interactive=False). Painted with QPainter; it FLEXes to the widget and every
colour is a qproperty so it flips with the theme. Signal: headingChanged(float).
