+ \title Scene Graph - Metal Under QML
+ \ingroup qtquickexamples
+ \brief Shows how to render directly with Metal under a Qt Quick scene.
+
+ \image metalunderqml-example.jpg
+
+ The Metal Under QML example shows how an application can make use
+ of the \l QQuickWindow::beforeRendering() and \l
+ QQuickWindow::beforeRenderPassRecording() signals to draw custom
+ Metal content under a Qt Quick scene. This signal is emitted at
+ the start of every frame, before the scene graph starts its
+ rendering, thus any Metal draw calls that are made as a response
+ to this signal, will stack under the Qt Quick items. There are two
+ signals, because the custom Metal commands are recorded onto the
+ same command buffer with the same render command encoder that the
+ scene graph uses. beforeRendering() on its own is not sufficient
+ for this because it gets emitted at the start of the frame, before
+ having an
+ \l{https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metal/mtlrendercommandencoder}{MTLRenderCommandEncoder}
+ available. By also connecting to beforeRenderPassRecording(), the
+ application can gain access to the necessary native objects.
+
+ As an alternative, applications that wish to render Metal content
+ on top of the Qt Quick scene, can do so by connecting to the \l
+ QQuickWindow::afterRendering() and \l
+ QQuickWindow::afterRenderPassRecording() signals.
+
+ In this example, we will also see how it is possible to have
+ values that are exposed to QML which affect the Metal
+ rendering. We animate the threshold value using a NumberAnimation
+ in the QML file and this value is used by the Metal shader
+ program that draws the squircles.
+
+ The example is equivalent in most ways to the \l{Scene Graph - OpenGL Under
+ QML}{OpenGL Under QML} and \l{Scene Graph - Direct3D 11 Under QML}{Direct3D
+ 11 Under QML} examples, they all render the same custom content, just via
+ different native APIs.
