- \example gui/openglwindow
- \title OpenGL Window Example
-
- This example shows how to create a minimal QWindow based application
- for the purpose of using OpenGL.
-
- \image openglwindow-example.png Screenshot of the OpenGLWindow example
-
- \section1 OpenGLWindow super class
-
- Our OpenGLWindow class acts as an API which is then subclassed to do the
- actual rendering. It has functions to make a request for render() to be
- called, either immediately with renderNow() or as soon as the event loop
- has finished processing the current batch of events with renderLater().
- The OpenGLWindow subclass can either reimplement render() for OpenGL based
- rendering, or render(QPainter *) for rendering with a QPainter. Use
- OpenGLWindow::setAnimating(true) for render() to be called at the vertical
- refresh rate, assuming vertical sync is enabled in the underlying OpenGL
- drivers.
-
- In the class that does the OpenGL rendering you will typically want to
- inherit from QOpenGLFunctions, as our OpenGLWindow does, in order to get
- platform independent access to OpenGL ES 2.0 functions. By inheriting from
- QOpenGLFunctions the OpenGL functions it contains will get precedence, and
- you will not have to worry about resolving those functions if you want your
- application to work with OpenGL as well as OpenGL ES 2.0.
-
- \snippet gui/openglwindow/openglwindow.h 1
-
- The window's surface type must be set to QSurface::OpenGLSurface to
- indicate that the window is to be used for OpenGL rendering and not for
- rendering raster content with QPainter using a QBackingStore.
-
- \snippet gui/openglwindow/openglwindow.cpp 1
-
- Any OpenGL initialization needed can be done by overriding the initialize()
- function, which is called once before the first call to render(), with a
- valid current QOpenGLContext. As can be seen in the following code snippet,
- the default render(QPainter *) and initialize() implementations are empty,
- whereas the default render() implementation initializes a
- QOpenGLPaintDevice and then calls into render(QPainter *).
-
- \snippet gui/openglwindow/openglwindow.cpp 2
-
- The renderLater() function simply puts an update request event on
- the event loop, which leads to renderNow() being called once the event
- gets processed.
-
- We also call renderNow() when we get an expose event. The exposeEvent() is
- the notification to the window that its exposure, meaning visibility, on
- the screen has changed. When the expose event is received you can query
- QWindow::isExposed() to find out whether or not the window is currently
- exposed. Do not render to or call QOpenGLContext::swapBuffers() on a window
- before it has received its first expose event, as before then its final
- size might be unknown, and in addition what is rendered might not even end
- up on the screen.
-
- \snippet gui/openglwindow/openglwindow.cpp 3
-
- In renderNow() we return if we are not currently exposed, in which case
- rendering is delayed until we actually get an expose event. If we have not
- yet done so, we create the QOpenGLContext with the same QSurfaceFormat as
- was set on the OpenGLWindow, and call initialize() for the sake of the sub
- class, and initializeOpenGLFunctions() in order for the QOpenGLFunctions
- super class to be associated with the correct QOpenGLContext. In any case
- we make the context current by calling QOpenGLContext::makeCurrent(), call
- render() to do the actual rendering, and finally we schedule for the
- rendered contents to be made visible by calling
- QOpenGLContext::swapBuffers() with the OpenGLWindow as parameter.
-
- Once the rendering of a frame using an OpenGL context is initiated by
- calling QOpenGLContext::makeCurrent(), giving the surface on which to
- render as a parameter, OpenGL commands can be issued. The commands can be
- issued either directly by including <qopengl.h>, which also includes the
- system's OpenGL headers, or as by using QOpenGLFunctions, which can
- either be inherited from for convenience, or accessed using
- QOpenGLContext::functions(). QOpenGLFunctions gives access to all the
- OpenGL ES 2.0 level OpenGL calls that are not already standard in both
- OpenGL ES 2.0 and desktop OpenGL. For more information about the OpenGL and
- OpenGL ES APIs, refer to the official \l{OpenGL Registry} and
- \l{Khronos OpenGL ES API Registry}.
-
- If animation has been enabled with OpenGLWindow::setAnimating(true), we
- call renderLater() to put another update request on the event loop.
-
- \snippet gui/openglwindow/openglwindow.cpp 4
-
- Enabling animation also triggers an update request as shown in the
- following code snippet.
-
- \snippet gui/openglwindow/openglwindow.cpp 5
-
- \section1 Example OpenGL rendering sub class
-
- Here we sub class OpenGLWindow to show how to do OpenGL to render a
- rotating triangle. By indirectly sub classing QOpenGLFunctions we gain
- access to all OpenGL ES 2.0 level functionality.
-
- \snippet gui/openglwindow/main.cpp 1
-
- In our main function we initialize QGuiApplication and instantiate our
- TriangleOpenGLWindow. We give it a QSurfaceFormat specifying that we want
- four samples of multisample antialiasing, as well as a default geometry.
- Since we want to have animation we call the above mentioned setAnimating()
- function with an argument of true.
-
- \snippet gui/openglwindow/main.cpp 2
-
- The following code snippet shows the OpenGL shader program used in this
- example. The vertex and fragment shaders are relatively simple, doing
- vertex transformation and interpolated vertex coloring.
-
- \snippet gui/openglwindow/main.cpp 3
-
- Here is the code that loads the shaders and initializes the shader program
- By using QOpenGLShaderProgram instead of raw OpenGL we get the convenience
- that strips out the highp, mediump, and lowp qualifiers on desktop OpenGL,
- where they are not part of the standard. We store the attribute and uniform
- locations in member variables to avoid having to do the location lookup
- each frame.
-
- \snippet gui/openglwindow/main.cpp 4
-
- Finally, here is our render() function, where we use OpenGL to set up the
- viewport, clear the background, and render a rotating triangle.
