+ The returned image has a format of premultiplied ARGB32 or RGB32. The latter is used
+ only when internalTextureFormat() is set to \c GL_RGB.
+
+ If the rendering in the framebuffer was not done with premultiplied alpha in mind,
+ create a wrapper QImage with a non-premultiplied format. This is necessary before
+ performing operations like QImage::save() because otherwise the image data would get
+ unpremultiplied, even though it was not premultiplied in the first place. To create
+ such a wrapper without performing a copy of the pixel data, do the following:
+
+ \code
+ QImage fboImage(fbo.toImage());
+ QImage image(fboImage.constBits(), fboImage.width(), fboImage.height(), QImage::Format_ARGB32);
+ \endcode
+
+ Since Qt 5.2 the function will fall back to premultiplied RGBA8888 or RGBx8888 when
+ reading to (A)RGB32 is not supported. Since 5.4 an A2BGR30 image is returned if the
+ internal format is RGB10_A2.
For multisampled framebuffer objects the samples are resolved using the
\c{GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit} extension. If the extension is not available, the contents
