\class TQGL qgl.h
\brief The TQGL class is a namespace for miscellaneous identifiers
in the TQt OpenGL module.
\if defined(commercial)
It is part of the <a href="commercialeditions.html">TQt Enterprise Edition</a>.
\endif
\module OpenGL
\ingroup graphics
\ingroup images
Normally you can ignore this class. TQGLWidget and the other
OpenGL<sup>*</sup> module classes inherit it, so when you make your
own TQGLWidget subclass you can use the identifiers in the TQGL
namespace without qualification.
However, you may occasionally find yourself in situations where you
need to refer to these identifiers from outside the TQGL namespace's

\brief The TQGLFormat class specifies the display format of an OpenGL
rendering context.
\if defined(commercial)
It is part of the <a href="commercialeditions.html">TQt Enterprise Edition</a>.
\endif
\ingroup graphics
\ingroup images
\module OpenGL
A display format has several characteristics:
\list
\i \link setDoubleBuffer() Double or single buffering.\endlink
\i \link setDepth() Depth buffer.\endlink
\i \link setRgba() RGBA or color index mode.\endlink
\i \link setAlpha() Alpha channel.\endlink
\i \link setAccum() Accumulation buffer.\endlink
\i \link setStencil() Stencil buffer.\endlink
\i \link setStereo() Stereo buffers.\endlink
\i \link setDirectRendering() Direct rendering.\endlink
\i \link setOverlay() Presence of an overlay.\endlink
\i \link setPlane() The plane of an overlay format.\endlink
\endlist
You create and tell a TQGLFormat object what rendering options you
want from an OpenGL<sup>*</sup> rendering context.
OpenGL drivers or accelerated hardware may or may not support
advanced features such as alpha channel or stereographic viewing.
If you request some features that the driver/hardware does not
provide when you create a TQGLWidget, you will get a rendering
context with the nearest subset of features.
There are different ways to define the display characteristics of
a rendering context. One is to create a TQGLFormat and make it the
default for the entire application:
\code
TQGLFormat f;
f.setAlpha( TRUE );
f.setStereo( TRUE );
TQGLFormat::setDefaultFormat( f );
\endcode
Or you can specify the desired format when creating an object of
your TQGLWidget subclass:
\code
TQGLFormat f;
f.setDoubleBuffer( FALSE ); // single buffer
f.setDirectRendering( FALSE ); // software rendering
MyGLWidget* myWidget = new MyGLWidget( f, ... );
\endcode
After the widget has been created, you can find out which of the
requested features the system was able to provide:
\code
TQGLFormat f;
f.setOverlay( TRUE );
f.setStereo( TRUE );
MyGLWidget* myWidget = new MyGLWidget( f, ... );
if ( !w->format().stereo() ) {
// ok, goggles off
if ( !w->format().hasOverlay() ) {
qFatal( "Cool hardware retquired" );
}
}
\endcode

If \a options is not 0, this copy is modified by these format
options. The \a options parameter should be \c FormatOption values
OR'ed together.
This constructor makes it easy to specify a certain desired format
in classes derived from TQGLWidget, for example:

both on and off, e.g. \c DepthBuffer and \c NoDepthBuffer,

Double buffering is a technique where graphics are rendered on an

flicker-free drawing and often better performance.

An OpenGL<sup>*</sup> rendering context is a complete set of
OpenGL state variables.
The context's \link TQGL::FormatOption format\endlink is set in the
constructor or later with setFormat(). The format options that are
actually set are returned by format(); the options you asked for
are returned by requestedFormat(). Note that after a TQGLContext

created by explicitly calling the \link create() create()\endlink
function. The makeCurrent() function makes this context the
current rendering context. You can make \e no context current
using doneCurrent(). The reset() function will reset the context
and make it invalid.
You can examine properties of the context with, e.g. isValid(),
isSharing(), initialized(), windowCreated() and
overlayTransparentColor().
If you're using double buffering you can swap the screen contents
with the off-screen buffer using swapBuffers().

TQGLWidget provides functionality for displaying OpenGL<sup>*</sup>
graphics integrated into a TQt application. It is very simple to
use. You inherit from it and use the subclass like any other
TQWidget, except that instead of drawing the widget's contents
using TQPainter etc. you use the standard OpenGL rendering
commands.
TQGLWidget provides three convenient virtual functions that you can
reimplement in your subclass to perform the typical OpenGL tasks:
\list
\i paintGL() - Renders the OpenGL scene. Gets called whenever the widget
needs to be updated.
\i resizeGL() - 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).
\i initializeGL() - Sets up the OpenGL rendering context, defines display
lists, etc. Gets called once before the first time resizeGL() or
paintGL() is called.
\endlist
Here is a rough outline of how a TQGLWidget subclass might look:
\code
class MyGLDrawer : public TQGLWidget
{
Q_OBJECT // must include this if you use TQt signals/slots
public:
MyGLDrawer( TQWidget *parent, const char *name )

...
}
void resizeGL( int w, int h )
{

\endcode
If you need to trigger a repaint from places other than paintGL()
(a typical example is when using \link TQTimer timers\endlink to
animate scenes), you should call the widget's updateGL() function.
Your widget's OpenGL rendering context is made current when
paintGL(), resizeGL(), or initializeGL() 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 makeCurrent() first.
TQGLWidget provides functions for requesting a new display \link
TQGLFormat format\endlink and you can also create widgets with
customized rendering \link TQGLContext contexts\endlink.
You can also share OpenGL display lists between TQGLWidgets (see
the documentation of the TQGLWidget constructors for details).
\section1 Overlays
The TQGLWidget creates a GL overlay context in addition to the
normal context if overlays are supported by the underlying system.
If you want to use overlays, you specify it in the \link TQGLFormat
format\endlink. (Note: Overlay must be requested in the format
passed to the TQGLWidget constructor.) Your GL widget should also
implement some or all of these virtual methods:
\list
\i paintOverlayGL()
\i resizeOverlayGL()
\i initializeOverlayGL()
\endlist
These methods work in the same way as the normal paintGL() 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 makeOverlayCurrent(), and you can access
the overlay context directly (e.g. to ask for its transparent
color) by calling overlayContext().
On X servers in which the default visual is in an overlay plane,
non-GL TQt windows can also be used for overlays. See the
examples/opengl/overlay_x11 example program for details.

Renders the string \a str into the GL context of this widget.
\a x and \a y are specified in window coordinates, with the origin
in the upper left-hand corner of the window. If \a fnt 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 qglColor() convenience function),
just before the renderText() 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().
\a listBase 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.
Note: This function only works reliably with ASCII strings.

\section1 Introduction
OpenGL is a standard API for rendering 3D graphics.
OpenGL only deals with 3D rendering and provides little or no support
for GUI programming issues. The user interface for an
OpenGL<sup>*</sup> application must be created with another toolkit,
such as Motif on the X platform, Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC)
under Windows, or TQt on \e both platforms.
The TQt OpenGL module makes it easy to use OpenGL in TQt applications.
It provides an OpenGL widget class that can be used just like any
other TQt widget, except that it opens an OpenGL display buffer where
you can use the OpenGL API to render the contents.
The TQt OpenGL module is implemented as a platform-independent TQt/C++
wrapper around the platform-dependent GLX, WGL, or AGL C APIs. The
functionality provided is very similar to Mark Kilgard's GLUT library,
but with much more non-OpenGL-specific GUI functionality, i.e. the
whole TQt API.
\section1 Installation
When you install TQt for X11, the configure script will autodetect if
OpenGL headers and libraries are installed on your system, and if so,
it will include the TQt OpenGL module in the TQt library. (If your
OpenGL headers or libraries are placed in a non-standard directory,
you may need to change the QMAKE_INCDIR_OPENGL and/or
QMAKE_LIBDIR_OPENGL in the config file for your system). Some
configurations retquire threading to be enabled for OpenGL, so if
OpenGL is not detected, try \c{configure -thread}.
When you install TQt for Windows, the TQt OpenGL module is always
included.
The TQt OpenGL module is not licensed for use with the TQt Professional
Edition. Consider upgrading to the TQt Enterprise Edition if you
retquire OpenGL support.
Note about using Mesa on X11: Mesa versions earlier than 3.1 would use
the name "MesaGL" and "MesaGLU" for the libraries, instead of "GL" and
"GLU". If you want to use a pre-3.1 version of Mesa, you must change
the Makefiles to use these library names instead. The easiest way to
do this is to edit the QMAKE_LIBS_OPENGL line in the config file you
are using, changing "-lGL -lGLU" to "-lMesaGL -lMesaGLU"; then run
"configure" again.
\section1 The TQGL Classes
The OpenGL support classes in TQt are:
\list
\i \link TQGLWidget TQGLWidget\endlink: An easy-to-use TQt
widget for rendering OpenGL scenes.
\i \link TQGLContext TQGLContext\endlink: Encapsulates an OpenGL rendering context.
\i \link TQGLFormat TQGLFormat\endlink: Specifies the
display format of a rendering context.
\i \link TQGLColormap TQGLColormap\endlink: Handles indexed
colormaps in GL-index mode.
\endlist
Many applications only need the high-level TQGLWidget class. The other
TQGL classes provide advanced features. X11 users might like to read
the notes on \link opengl-x11-overlays.html overlays\endlink.
See also the \link opengl-examples.html OpenGL examples\endlink.
The TQGL documentation assumes that you are familiar with OpenGL
programming. If you're new to the subject a good starting point is
\l{http://www.opengl.org/}.
<sup>*</sup> OpenGL is a trademark of Silicon Graphics, Inc. in the
United States and other countries.
