If there is only one physical screen available, the example + * emulates three screens with dummy data. + * + * \snippet multi-screen/qml/main.qml screens + * + * Each \l WaylandOutput contains a \l{Window}, which is used for containing client content, as + * is the standard setup with \l{Qt Wayland Compositor}. Since each \l Window is isolated from the + * others, we cannot share any Qt Quick items between them. Therefore, when a client connects and + * a \l ShellSurface is created, one \l ShellSurfaceItem is created on each of the screens. + * + * \snippet multi-screen/qml/main.qml createShellSurfaceItems + * + * These items serve as views of the same client content. The client's surface itself will only be + * created once, and will be shared by the surface items. + * + * Top-level surface items are created as children of the background \l Rectangle in each of the + * outputs. These views are stored for later, and if the client spawns any child windows, these are + * parented to the top-level window's item. + * + * \snippet multi-screen/qml/main.qml parenting + * + * The client content will be visible only on one or two screens at a time. \l ShellSurfaceItem + * positions are synchronized so that when windows enter one screen, they are moved off of another + * at the same time. This gives the appearance of a single item which moves seamlessly between + * screens. The global position of the client is stored in a shared + * \l{ShellSurfaceItem::moveItem}{moveItem} and relative position of each screen's + * \l ShellSurfaceItem is calculated based on this. If the \c moveItem is currently outside the + * bounds of one screen, its coordinates will reflect this, and it will not be visible on that + * screen. + * + * \snippet multi-screen/qml/Chrome.qml position sync + * + * Finally, \l{WaylandQuickItem::setPrimary()} is called at appropriate times to set the primary + * view for the \l ShellSurface, which is used when the client asks to be maximized or fullscreen. + * The primary \l ShellSurfaceItem is selected based on how much of it is currently visible. + * + * \note In order to support multiple Wayland outputs in the same compositor, the + * \l Qt::AA_ShareOpenGLContexts attribute must be set before the \l QGuiApplication + * object is constructed. In the example, we do this at the very beginning of the \c main() + * function. + * + * \snippet multi-screen/main.cpp share context * - * WaylandQuickItem::setPrimary() is called at appropriate times to set the - * primary view for the ShellSurface, which is used when the client asks to be - * maximized or fullscreen. + * \sa {Multi Output} */ |
