Both of these are meant to be subclassed, and they both enable recording QRhi-based rendering that targets an offscreen color buffer. The resulting 2D image is then composited with the rest of the Qt Quick scene. \note While QQuickRhiItem is a public Qt API, the QRhi family of classes in the Qt Gui module, including QShader and QShaderDescription, offer limited compatibility guarantees. There are no source or binary compatibility guarantees for these classes, meaning the API is only guaranteed to work with the Qt version the application was developed against. Source incompatible changes are however aimed to be kept at a minimum and will only be made in minor releases (6.7, 6.8, and so on). \c{qquickrhiitem.h} does not directly include any QRhi-related headers. To use those classes when implementing a QQuickRhiItem subclass, link to \c{Qt::GuiPrivate} (if using CMake), and include the appropriate headers with the \c rhi prefix, for example \c{#include }. QQuickRhiItem is a replacement for the legacy \l QQuickFramebufferObject class. The latter is inherently tied to OpenGL / OpenGL ES, whereas QQuickRhiItem works with the QRhi classes, allowing to run the same rendering code with Vulkan, Metal, Direct 3D 11/12, and OpenGL / OpenGL ES. Conceptually and functionally they are very close, and migrating from QQuickFramebufferObject to QQuickRhiItem is straightforward. QQuickFramebufferObject continues to be available to ensure compatibility for existing application code that works directly with the OpenGL API. \note QQuickRhiItem will not be functional when using the \c software adaptation of the Qt Quick scene graph. On most platforms, the scene graph rendering, and thus the rendering performed by the QQuickRhiItem will occur on a \l {Scene Graph and Rendering}{dedicated thread}. For this reason, the QQuickRhiItem class enforces a strict separation between the item implementation (the QQuickItem subclass) and the actual rendering logic. All item logic, such as properties and UI-related helper functions exposed to QML must be located in the QQuickRhiItem subclass. Everything that relates to rendering must be located in the QQuickRhiItemRenderer class. To avoid race conditions and read/write issues from two threads it is important that the renderer and the item never read or write shared variables. Communication between the item and the renderer should primarily happen via the QQuickRhiItem::synchronize() function. This function will be called on the render thread while the GUI thread is blocked. Using queued connections or events for communication between item and renderer is also possible. Applications must subclass both QQuickRhiItem and QQuickRhiItemRenderer. The pure virtual createRenderer() function must be reimplemented to return a new instance of the QQuickRhiItemRenderer subclass. As with QRhiWidget, QQuickRhiItem automatically managed the color buffer, which is a 2D texture (QRhiTexture) normally, or a QRhiRenderBuffer when multisampling is in use. (some 3D APIs differentiate between textures and renderbuffers, while with some others the underlying native resource is the same; renderbuffers are used mainly to allow multisampling with OpenGL ES 3.0) The size of the texture will by default adapt to the size of the item (with the \l{QQuickWindow::effectiveDevicePixelRatio()}{device pixel ratio} taken into account). If the item size changes, the texture is recreated with the correct size. If a fixed size is preferred, set \l fixedColorBufferWidth and \l fixedColorBufferHeight to non-zero values. QQuickRhiItem is a \l{QSGTextureProvider}{texture provider} and can be used directly in \l {ShaderEffect}{ShaderEffects} and other classes that consume texture providers. While not a primary use case, QQuickRhiItem also allows incorporating rendering code that directly uses a 3D graphics API such as Vulkan, Metal, Direct 3D, or OpenGL. See \l QRhiCommandBuffer::beginExternal() for details on recording native commands within a QRhi render pass, as well as \l QRhiTexture::createFrom() for a way to wrap an existing native texture and then use it with QRhi in a subsequent render pass. See also \l QQuickGraphicsConfiguration regarding configuring the native 3D API environment (e.g. device extensions) and note that the \l QQuickWindow can be associated with a custom \l QVulkanInstance by calling \l QWindow::setVulkanInstance() early enough. \note QQuickRhiItem always uses the same QRhi instance the QQuickWindow uses (and by extension, the same OpenGL context, Vulkan device, etc.). To choose which underlying 3D graphics API is used, call \l{QQuickWindow::setGraphicsApi()}{setGraphicsApi()} on the QQuickWindow early enough. Changing it is not possible once the scene graph has initialized, and all QQuickRhiItem instances in the scene will render using the same 3D API. \section2 A simple example Take the following subclass of QQuickRhiItem. It is shown here in complete form. It renders a single triangle with a perspective projection, where the triangle is rotated based on the \c angle property of the custom item. (meaning it can be driven for example with animations such as \l NumberAnimation from QML) \snippet qquickrhiitem/qquickrhiitem_intro.cpp 0 It is notable that this simple class is almost exactly the same as the code shown in the \l QRhiWidget introduction. The vertex and fragment shaders are the same as well. These are provided as Vulkan-style GLSL source code and must be processed first by the Qt shader infrastructure first. This is achieved either by running the \c qsb command-line tool manually, or by using the \l{Qt Shader Tools Build System Integration}{qt_add_shaders()} function in CMake. The QQuickRhiItem loads these pre-processed \c{.qsb} files that are shipped with the application. See \l{Qt Shader Tools} for more information about Qt's shader translation infrastructure. \c{color.vert} \snippet qquickrhiitem/qquickrhiitem_intro.vert 0 \c{color.frag} \snippet qquickrhiitem/qquickrhiitem_intro.frag 0 Once exposed to QML (note the \c QML_NAMED_ELEMENT), our custom item can be instantiated in any scene. (after importing the appropriate \c URI specified for \l{qt6_add_qml_module}{qt_add_qml_module} in the CMake project) \code ExampleRhiItem { anchors.fill: parent anchors.margins: 10 NumberAnimation on angle { from: 0;

When \l {QQuickRhiItem::}{isAutoRenderTargetEnabled} is \c true, renderTarget() is set up automatically to do this, by setting up msaaColorBuffer() as the \l{QRhiColorAttachment::renderBuffer()}{renderbuffer} of color attachment 0 and resolveTexture() as its \l{QRhiColorAttachment::resolveTexture()}{resolveTexture}. When MSAA is not in use, the return value is \nullptr. Use colorTexture() instead then. Depending on the underlying 3D graphics API, there may be no practical difference between multisample textures and color renderbuffers with a sample count larger than 1 (QRhi may just map both to the same native resource type). Some older APIs however may differentiate between textures and renderbuffers. In order to support OpenGL ES 3.0, where multisample renderbuffers are available, but multisample textures are not, QQuickRhiItem always performs MSAA by using a multisample QRhiRenderBuffer as the color attachment (and never a multisample QRhiTexture). \note The backing texture size and sample count can also be queried via the QRhiRenderTarget returned from renderTarget(). This can be more convenient and compact than querying from the QRhiTexture or QRhiRenderBuffer, because it works regardless of multisampling is in use or not. \sa colorTexture(), depthStencilBuffer(), renderTarget(), resolveTexture() */ QRhiRenderBuffer *QQuickRhiItemRenderer::msaaColorBuffer() const { return node ? node->m_msaaColorBuffer.get() : nullptr; } /*! \return the non-multisample texture to which the multisample content is resolved.

With MSAA enabled, this is the texture that gets used by the item's underlying scene graph node when texturing a quad in the main render pass of Qt Quick. However, the QQuickRhiItemRenderer's rendering must target the (multisample) QRhiRenderBuffer returned from msaaColorBuffer(). When \l {QQuickRhiItem::}{isAutoRenderTargetEnabled} is \c true, this is taken care of by the QRhiRenderTarget returned from renderTarget().

When creating \l{QRhiGraphicsPipeline}{graphics pipelines}, a QRhiRenderPassDescriptor is needed. This can be queried from the returned QRhiTextureRenderTarget by calling \l{QRhiTextureRenderTarget::renderPassDescriptor()}{renderPassDescriptor()}. \note The returned QRhiTextureRenderTarget always reports a \l{QRhiTextureRenderTarget::}{devicePixelRatio()} of \c 1. This is because only swapchains and the associated window have a concept of device pixel ratio, not textures, and the render target here always refers to a texture. If the on-screen scale factor is relevant for rendering, query and store it via the item's \c{window()->effectiveDevicePixelRatio()} in \l synchronize().

The function is expected to maintain (create if not yet created, adjust and rebuild if the size has changed) the graphics resources used by the rendering code in render(). To query the QRhi, QRhiTexture, and other related objects, call rhi(), colorTexture(), depthStencilBuffer(), and renderTarget(). When the item size changes, the QRhi object, the color buffer texture, and the depth stencil buffer objects are all the same instances (so the getters return the same pointers) as before, but the color and depth/stencil buffers will likely have been rebuilt, meaning the \l{QRhiTexture::pixelSize()}{size} and the underlying native texture resource may be different than in the last invocation. Reimplementations should also be prepared that the QRhi object and the color buffer texture may change between invocations of this function. For example, when the item is reparented so that it belongs to a new QQuickWindow, the the QRhi and all related resources managed by the QQuickRhiItem will be different instances than before in the subsequent call to this function. Is is then important that all existing QRhi resources previously created by the subclass are destroyed because they belong to the previous QRhi that should not be used anymore. When \l {QQuickRhiItem::}{isAutoRenderTargetEnabled} is \c true, which is the default, a depth-stencil QRhiRenderBuffer and a QRhiTextureRenderTarget associated with the colorTexture() (or msaaColorBuffer()) and the depth-stencil buffer are created and managed automatically. Reimplementations of initialize() and render() can query those objects via depthStencilBuffer() and renderTarget(). When \l {QQuickRhiItem::}{isAutoRenderTargetEnabled} is set to \c false, these objects are no longer created and managed automatically. Rather, it will be up the the initialize() implementation to create buffers and set up the render target as it sees fit. When manually managing additional color or depth-stencil attachments for the render target, their size and sample count must always follow the size and sample count of colorTexture() (or msaaColorBuffer()), otherwise rendering or 3D API validation errors may occur.
