widget for rendering OpenGL graphics. <p> <p> QGLWidget provides functionality for displaying OpenGL<sup>*</sup> graphics integrated into a Qt application. It is very simple to use. You inherit from it and use the subclass like any other <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>, except that instead of drawing the widget's contents using <a href="qpainter.html">QPainter</a> etc. you use the standard OpenGL rendering commands. <p> QGLWidget provides three convenient virtual functions that you can reimplement in your subclass to perform the typical OpenGL tasks: <p> <ul> <li> <a href="#paintGL">paintGL</a>() - Renders the OpenGL scene. Gets called whenever the widget needs to be updated. <li> <a href="#resizeGL">resizeGL</a>() - Sets up the OpenGL viewport, projection, etc. Gets called whenever the the widget has been resized (and also when it is shown for the first time because all newly created widgets get a resize event automatically). <li> <a href="#initializeGL">initializeGL</a>() - Sets up the OpenGL rendering context, defines display lists, etc. Gets called once before the first time resizeGL() or paintGL() is called. </ul> <p> Here is a rough outline of how a QGLWidget subclass might look: <p> <pre> class MyGLDrawer : public QGLWidget { Q_OBJECT // must include this if you use Qt signals/slots public: MyGLDrawer( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> *parent, const char *name ) : QGLWidget(parent, name) {} protected: void initializeGL() { // Set up the rendering context, define display lists etc.: ... glClearColor( 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ); glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); ... } void resizeGL( int w, int h ) { // setup viewport, projection etc.: glViewport( 0, 0, (GLint)w, (GLint)h ); ... glFrustum( ... ); ... } void paintGL() { // draw the scene: ... glRotatef( ... ); glMaterialfv( ... ); glBegin( GL_QUADS ); glVertex3f( ... ); glVertex3f( ... ); ... glEnd(); ... } }; </pre> <p> If you need to trigger a repaint from places other than <a href="#paintGL">paintGL</a>() (a typical example is when using <a href="qtimer.html">timers</a> to animate scenes), you should call the widget's <a href="#updateGL">updateGL</a>() function. <p> Your widget's OpenGL rendering context is made current when paintGL(), <a href="#resizeGL">resizeGL</a>(), or <a href="#initializeGL">initializeGL</a>() is called. If you need to call the standard OpenGL API functions from other places (e.g. in your widget's constructor or in your own paint functions), you must call <a href="#makeCurrent">makeCurrent</a>() first. <p> QGLWidget provides functions for requesting a new display <a href="qglformat.html">format</a> and you can also create widgets with customized rendering <a href="qglcontext.html">contexts</a>. <p> You can also share OpenGL display lists between QGLWidgets (see the documentation of the QGLWidget constructors for details). <p> <h3> Overlays </h3> <a name="1"></a><p> The QGLWidget creates a GL overlay context in addition to the normal context if overlays are supported by the underlying system. <p> If you want to use overlays, you specify it in the <a href="qglformat.html">format</a>. (Note: Overlay must be requested in the format passed to the QGLWidget constructor.) Your GL widget should also implement some or all of these virtual methods: <p> <ul> <li> <a href="#paintOverlayGL">paintOverlayGL</a>() <li> <a href="#resizeOverlayGL">resizeOverlayGL</a>() <li> <a href="#initializeOverlayGL">initializeOverlayGL</a>() </ul> <p> These methods work in the same way as the normal <a href="#paintGL">paintGL</a>() etc. functions, except that they will be called when the overlay context is made current. You can explicitly make the overlay context current by using <a href="#makeOverlayCurrent">makeOverlayCurrent</a>(), and you can access the overlay context directly (e.g. to ask for its transparent color) by calling <a href="#overlayContext">overlayContext</a>(). <p> On X servers in which the default visual is in an overlay plane, non-GL Qt windows can also be used for overlays. See the examples/opengl/overlay_x11 example program for details. <p> <sup>*</sup> OpenGL is a trademark of Silicon Graphics, Inc. in the United States and other countries. <p>See also <a href="graphics.html">Graphics Classes</a> and <a href="images.html">Image Processing Classes</a>. <hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> <h3 class=fn><a name="QGLWidget"></a>QGLWidget::QGLWidget ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, const <a href="qglwidget.html">QGLWidget</a> * shareWidget = 0, WFlags f = 0 ) </h3> Constructs an OpenGL widget with a <em>parent</em> widget and a <em>name</em>. <p> The <a href="qglformat.html#defaultFormat">default format</a> is used.

Use this if you need to issue OpenGL commands to the overlay context outside of <a href="#initializeOverlayGL">initializeOverlayGL</a>(), <a href="#resizeOverlayGL">resizeOverlayGL</a>(), and <a href="#paintOverlayGL">paintOverlayGL</a>(). <p> Does nothing if this widget has no overlay. <p> <p>See also <a href="#makeCurrent">makeCurrent</a>(). <h3 class=fn>const <a href="qglcontext.html">QGLContext</a> * <a name="overlayContext"></a>QGLWidget::overlayContext () const </h3> <p> Returns the overlay context of this widget, or 0 if this widget has no overlay. <p> <p>See also <a href="#context">context</a>(). <h3 class=fn>void <a name="paintEvent"></a>QGLWidget::paintEvent ( <a href="qpaintevent.html">QPaintEvent</a> * )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt> </h3> Handles paint events. Will cause the virtual <a href="#paintGL">paintGL</a>() function to be called. <p> The widget's rendering context will become the current context and <a href="#initializeGL">initializeGL</a>() will be called if it hasn't already been called. <p>Reimplemented from <a href="qwidget.html#paintEvent">QWidget</a>. <h3 class=fn>void <a name="paintGL"></a>QGLWidget::paintGL ()<tt> [virtual protected]</tt> </h3> This virtual function is called whenever the widget needs to be painted. Reimplement it in a subclass. <p> There is no need to call <a href="#makeCurrent">makeCurrent</a>() because this has already been done when this function is called. <h3 class=fn>void <a name="paintOverlayGL"></a>QGLWidget::paintOverlayGL ()<tt> [virtual protected]</tt> </h3> This virtual function is used in the same manner as <a href="#paintGL">paintGL</a>() except that it operates on the widget's overlay context instead of the widget's main context. This means that <a href="#paintOverlayGL">paintOverlayGL</a>() is called whenever the widget's overlay needs to be painted. Reimplement it in a subclass. <p> There is no need to call <a href="#makeOverlayCurrent">makeOverlayCurrent</a>() because this has already been done when this function is called. <h3 class=fn>void <a name="qglClearColor"></a>QGLWidget::qglClearColor ( const <a href="qcolor.html">QColor</a> & c ) const </h3> Convenience function for specifying the clearing color to OpenGL. Calls glClearColor (in RGBA mode) or glClearIndex (in color-index mode) with the color <em>c</em>. Applies to the current GL context. <p> <p>See also <a href="#qglColor">qglColor</a>(), <a href="qglcontext.html#currentContext">QGLContext::currentContext</a>(), and <a href="qcolor.html">QColor</a>. <h3 class=fn>void <a name="qglColor"></a>QGLWidget::qglColor ( const <a href="qcolor.html">QColor</a> & c ) const </h3> Convenience function for specifying a drawing color to OpenGL. Calls glColor3 (in RGBA mode) or glIndex (in color-index mode) with the color <em>c</em>. Applies to the current GL context. <p> <p>See also <a href="#qglClearColor">qglClearColor</a>(), <a href="qglcontext.html#currentContext">QGLContext::currentContext</a>(), and <a href="qcolor.html">QColor</a>. <h3 class=fn><a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> <a name="renderPixmap"></a>QGLWidget::renderPixmap ( int w = 0, int h = 0, bool useContext = FALSE )<tt> [virtual]</tt> </h3> Renders the current scene on a pixmap and returns the pixmap. <p> You can use this method on both visible and invisible QGLWidgets. <p> This method will create a pixmap and a temporary <a href="qglcontext.html">QGLContext</a> to render on the pixmap. It will then call <a href="#initializeGL">initializeGL</a>(), <a href="#resizeGL">resizeGL</a>(), and <a href="#paintGL">paintGL</a>() on this context. Finally, the widget's original GL context is restored. <p> The size of the pixmap will be <em>w</em> pixels wide and <em>h</em> pixels high unless one of these parameters is 0 (the default), in which case the pixmap will have the same size as the widget. <p> If <em>useContext</em> is TRUE, this method will try to be more efficient by using the existing GL context to render the pixmap. The default is FALSE. Only use TRUE if you understand the risks. <p> Overlays are not rendered onto the pixmap. <p> If the GL rendering context and the desktop have different bit depths, the result will most likely look surprising. <p> Note that the creation of display lists, modifications of the view frustum etc. should be done from within initializeGL(). If this is not done, the temporary QGLContext will not be initialized properly, and the rendered pixmap may be incomplete/corrupted. <h3 class=fn>void <a name="renderText"></a>QGLWidget::renderText ( int x, int y, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & str, const <a href="qfont.html">QFont</a> & fnt = QFont ( ), int listBase = 2000 ) </h3> Renders the string <em>str</em> into the GL context of this widget. <p> <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> are specified in window coordinates, with the origin in the upper left-hand corner of the window. If <em>fnt</em> is not specified, the currently set application font will be used to render the string. To change the color of the rendered text you can use the glColor() call (or the <a href="#qglColor">qglColor</a>() convenience function), just before the <a href="#renderText">renderText</a>() call. Note that if you have GL_LIGHTING enabled, the string will not appear in the color you want. You should therefore switch lighting off before using renderText(). <p> <em>listBase</em> specifies the index of the first display list that is generated by this function. The default value is 2000. 256 display lists will be generated, one for each of the first 256 characters in the font that is used to render the string. If several fonts are used in the same widget, the display lists for these fonts will follow the last generated list. You would normally not have to change this value unless you are using lists in the same range. The lists are deleted when the widget is destroyed. <p> Note: This function only works reliably with ASCII strings. <h3 class=fn>void <a name="renderText-2"></a>QGLWidget::renderText ( double x, double y, double z, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & str, const <a href="qfont.html">QFont</a> & fnt = QFont ( ), int listBase = 2000 ) </h3> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function. <p> <em>x</em>, <em>y</em> and <em>z</em> are specified in scene or object coordinates relative to the currently set projection and model matrices. This can be useful if you want to annotate models with text labels and have the labels move with the model as it is rotated etc. <h3 class=fn>void <a name="resizeEvent"></a>QGLWidget::resizeEvent ( <a href="qresizeevent.html">QResizeEvent</a> * )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt> </h3> <p> Handles resize events. Calls the virtual function <a href="#resizeGL">resizeGL</a>(). <p>Reimplemented from <a href="qwidget.html#resizeEvent">QWidget</a>. <h3 class=fn>void <a name="resizeGL"></a>QGLWidget::resizeGL ( int width, int height )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt> </h3> <p> This virtual function is called whenever the widget has been resized. The new size is passed in <em>width</em> and <em>height</em>. Reimplement it in a subclass. <p> There is no need to call <a href="#makeCurrent">makeCurrent</a>() because this has already been done when this function is called. <h3 class=fn>void <a name="resizeOverlayGL"></a>QGLWidget::resizeOverlayGL ( int width, int height )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt> </h3> <p> This virtual function is used in the same manner as <a href="#paintGL">paintGL</a>() except that it operates on the widget's overlay context instead of the widget's main context. This means that <a href="#resizeOverlayGL">resizeOverlayGL</a>() is called whenever the widget has been resized. The new size is passed in <em>width</em> and <em>height</em>. Reimplement it in a subclass. <p> There is no need to call <a href="#makeOverlayCurrent">makeOverlayCurrent</a>() because this has already been done when this function is called. <h3 class=fn>void <a name="setAutoBufferSwap"></a>QGLWidget::setAutoBufferSwap ( bool on )<tt> [protected]</tt> </h3> <p> If <em>on</em> is TRUE automatic GL buffer swapping is switched on; otherwise it is switched off. <p> If <em>on</em> is TRUE and the widget is using a double-buffered format, the background and foreground GL buffers will automatically be swapped after each <a href="#paintGL">paintGL</a>() call. <p> The buffer auto-swapping is on by default. <p> <p>See also <a href="#autoBufferSwap">autoBufferSwap</a>(), <a href="#doubleBuffer">doubleBuffer</a>(), and <a href="#swapBuffers">swapBuffers</a>(). <h3 class=fn>void <a name="setColormap"></a>QGLWidget::setColormap ( const <a href="qglcolormap.html">QGLColormap</a> & cmap ) </h3> <p> Set the colormap for this widget to <em>cmap</em>. Usually it is only top-level widgets that can have colormaps installed. <p> <p>See also <a href="#colormap">colormap</a>(). <h3 class=fn>void <a name="swapBuffers"></a>QGLWidget::swapBuffers ()<tt> [virtual]</tt> </h3> <p> Swaps the screen contents with an off-screen buffer. This only works if the widget's format specifies double buffer mode. <p> Normally, there is no need to explicitly call this function because it is done automatically after each widget repaint, i.e. each time after <a href="#paintGL">paintGL</a>() has been executed. <p> <p>See also <a href="#doubleBuffer">doubleBuffer</a>(), <a href="#setAutoBufferSwap">setAutoBufferSwap</a>(), and <a href="qglformat.html#setDoubleBuffer">QGLFormat::setDoubleBuffer</a>(). <h3 class=fn>void <a name="updateGL"></a>QGLWidget::updateGL ()<tt> [virtual slot]</tt> </h3> <p> Updates the widget by calling <a href="#glDraw">glDraw</a>(). <h3 class=fn>void <a name="updateOverlayGL"></a>QGLWidget::updateOverlayGL ()<tt> [virtual slot]</tt> </h3> <p> Updates the widget's overlay (if any). Will cause the virtual function <a href="#paintOverlayGL">paintOverlayGL</a>() to be executed. <p> The widget's rendering context will become the current context and <a href="#initializeGL">initializeGL</a>() will be called if it hasn't already been called. <!-- eof --> <hr><p> This file is part of the <a href="index.html">Qt toolkit</a>.
