> This is the abstract base class of graphicseffect, providing their functionality.

**This class is a JS wrapper around Qt's [QGraphicsEffect class](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qgraphicseffect.html)**

The QGraphicsEffect class is an abstract class and therefore, technically, no further instances actually have to be created.
It is inherited by QGraphicsBlurEffect, QGraphicsColorizeEffect, QGraphicsDropShadowEffect, and QGraphicsOpacityEffect.

## Type parameters

▪ **Signals**: *[QGraphicsEffectSignals](../interfaces/qgraphicseffectsignals.md)*
