\class QOpenGLWidget
\inmodule QtWidgets
\since 5.4
\brief The QOpenGLWidget class is a widget for rendering OpenGL graphics.
QOpenGLWidget provides functionality for displaying OpenGL graphics
integrated into a Qt application. It is very simple to use: Make
your class inherit from it and use the subclass like any other
QWidget, except that you have the choice between using QPainter and
standard OpenGL rendering commands.
QOpenGLWidget provides three convenient virtual functions that you
can reimplement in your subclass to perform the typical OpenGL
tasks:
\list
\li paintGL() - Renders the OpenGL scene. Gets called whenever the widget
needs to be updated.
\li resizeGL() - Sets up the OpenGL viewport, projection, etc. Gets
called whenever 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 initializeGL() - Sets up the OpenGL resources and state. Gets called
once before the first time resizeGL() or paintGL() is called.
\endlist
If you need to trigger a repaint from places other than paintGL() (a
typical example is when using \l{QTimer}{timers} to animate scenes),
you should call the widget's update() function to schedule an update.
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.
All rendering happens into an OpenGL framebuffer
object. makeCurrent() ensure that it is bound in the context. Keep
this in mind when creating and binding additional framebuffer
objects in the rendering code in paintGL(). Never re-bind the
framebuffer with ID 0. Instead, call defaultFramebufferObject() to
get the ID that should be bound.
QOpenGLWidget allows using different OpenGL versions and profiles
when the platform supports it. Just set the requested format via
setFormat(). Keep in mind however that having multiple QOpenGLWidget
instances in the same window requires that they all use the same
format, or at least formats that do not make the contexts
non-sharable. To overcome this issue, prefer using
QSurfaceFormat::setDefaultFormat() instead of setFormat().
\note Calling QSurfaceFormat::setDefaultFormat() before constructing
the QApplication instance is mandatory on some platforms (for example,
\macos) when an OpenGL core profile context is requested. This is to
ensure that resource sharing between contexts stays functional as all
internal contexts are created using the correct version and profile.
\section1 Painting Techniques
As described above, subclass QOpenGLWidget to render pure 3D content in the
following way:
\list
\li Reimplement the initializeGL() and resizeGL() functions to
set up the OpenGL state and provide a perspective transformation.
\li Reimplement paintGL() to paint the 3D scene, calling only
OpenGL functions.
\endlist
It is also possible to draw 2D graphics onto a QOpenGLWidget subclass using QPainter:
\list
\li In paintGL(), instead of issuing OpenGL commands, construct a QPainter
object for use on the widget.
\li Draw primitives using QPainter's member functions.
\li Direct OpenGL commands can still be issued. However, you must make sure
these are enclosed by a call to the painter's beginNativePainting() and
endNativePainting().
\endlist
When performing drawing using QPainter only, it is also possible to perform
the painting like it is done for ordinary widgets: by reimplementing paintEvent().
\list
\li Reimplement the paintEvent() function.
\li Construct a QPainter object targeting the widget. Either pass the widget to the
constructor or the QPainter::begin() function.
\li Draw primitives using QPainter's member functions.
\li Painting finishes then the QPainter instance is destroyed. Alternatively,
call QPainter::end() explicitly.
\endlist
\section1 OpenGL Function Calls, Headers and QOpenGLFunctions
When making OpenGL function calls, it is strongly recommended to avoid calling
the functions directly. Instead, prefer using QOpenGLFunctions (when making
portable applications) or the versioned variants (for example,
QOpenGLFunctions_3_2_Core and similar, when targeting modern, desktop-only
OpenGL). This way the application will work correctly in all Qt build
configurations, including the ones that perform dynamic OpenGL implementation
loading which means applications are not directly linking to an GL
implementation and thus direct function calls are not feasible.
In paintGL() the current context is always accessible by caling
QOpenGLContext::currentContext(). From this context an already initialized,
ready-to-be-used QOpenGLFunctions instance is retrievable by calling
QOpenGLContext::functions(). An alternative to prefixing every GL call is to
inherit from QOpenGLFunctions and call
QOpenGLFunctions::initializeOpenGLFunctions() in initializeGL().
As for the OpenGL headers, note that in most cases there will be no need to
directly include any headers like GL.h. The OpenGL-related Qt headers will
include qopengl.h which will in turn include an appropriate header for the
system. This might be an OpenGL ES 3.x or 2.0 header, the highest version that
is available, or a system-provided gl.h. In addition, a copy of the extension
headers (called glext.h on some systems) is provided as part of Qt both for
OpenGL and OpenGL ES. These will get included automatically on platforms where
feasible. This means that constants and function pointer typedefs from ARB,
EXT, OES extensions are automatically available.
\section1 Code Examples
To get started, the simplest QOpenGLWidget subclass could like like the following:
\snippet code/doc_gui_widgets_qopenglwidget.cpp 0
Alternatively, the prefixing of each and every OpenGL call can be avoided by deriving
from QOpenGLFunctions instead:
\snippet code/doc_gui_widgets_qopenglwidget.cpp 1
To get a context compatible with a given OpenGL version or profile, or to
request depth and stencil buffers, call setFormat():
\snippet code/doc_gui_widgets_qopenglwidget.cpp 2
With OpenGL 3.0+ contexts, when portability is not important, the versioned
QOpenGLFunctions variants give easy access to all the modern OpenGL functions
available in a given version:
\snippet code/doc_gui_widgets_qopenglwidget.cpp 3
As described above, it is simpler and more robust to set the requested format
globally so that it applies to all windows and contexts during the lifetime of
the application. Below is an example of this:
\snippet code/doc_gui_widgets_qopenglwidget.cpp 6
\section1 Relation to QGLWidget
The legacy QtOpenGL module (classes prefixed with QGL) provides a widget
called QGLWidget. QOpenGLWidget is intended to be a modern replacement for
it. Therefore, especially in new applications, the general recommendation is
to use QOpenGLWidget.
While the API is very similar, there is an important difference between the
two: QOpenGLWidget always renders offscreen, using framebuffer
objects. QGLWidget on the other hand uses a native window and surface. The
latter causes issues when using it in complex user interfaces since, depending
on the platform, such native child widgets may have various limitations,
regarding stacking orders for example. QOpenGLWidget avoids this by not
creating a separate native window.
Due to being backed by a framebuffer object, the behavior of QOpenGLWidget is
very similar to QOpenGLWindow with the update behavior set to \c
PartialUpdateBlit or \c PartialUpdateBlend. This means that the contents are
preserved between paintGL() calls so that incremental rendering is
possible. With QGLWidget (and naturally QOpenGLWindow with the default update
behavior) this is usually not the case because swapping the buffers leaves the
back buffer with undefined contents.
\note Most applications do not need incremental rendering because they will
render everything in the view on every paint call. In this case it is
important to call glClear() as early as possible in paintGL(). This helps
mobile GPUs that use a tile-based architecture to recognize that the tile
buffer does not need to be reloaded with the framebuffer's previous
contents. Omitting the clear call can lead to significant performance drops on
such systems.
\note Avoid calling winId() on a QOpenGLWidget. This function triggers the creation of
a native window, resulting in reduced performance and possibly rendering glitches.
\section1 Differences to QGLWidget
Besides the main conceptual difference of being backed by a framebuffer object, there
are a number of smaller, internal differences between QOpenGLWidget and the older
QGLWidget:
\list
\li OpenGL state when invoking paintGL(). QOpenGLWidget sets up the viewport via
glViewport(). It does not perform any clearing.
\li Clearing when starting to paint via QPainter. Unlike regular widgets, QGLWidget
defaulted to a value of \c true for
\l{QWidget::autoFillBackground()}{autoFillBackground}. It then performed clearing to the
palette's background color every time QPainter::begin() was used. QOpenGLWidget does not
follow this: \l{QWidget::autoFillBackground()}{autoFillBackground} defaults to false,
like for any other widget. The only exception is when being used as a viewport for other
widgets like QGraphicsView. In such a case autoFillBackground will be automatically set
to true to ensure compatibility with QGLWidget-based viewports.
\endlist
\section1 Multisampling
To enable multisampling, set the number of requested samples on the
QSurfaceFormat that is passed to setFormat(). On systems that do not support
it the request may get ignored.
Multisampling support requires support for multisampled renderbuffers and
framebuffer blits. On OpenGL ES 2.0 implementations it is likely that these
will not be present. This means that multisampling will not be available. With
modern OpenGL versions and OpenGL ES 3.0 and up this is usually not a problem
anymore.
\section1 Threading
Performing offscreen rendering on worker threads, for example to generate
textures that are then used in the GUI/main thread in paintGL(), are supported
by exposing the widget's QOpenGLContext so that additional contexts sharing
with it can be created on each thread.
Drawing directly to the QOpenGLWidget's framebuffer outside the GUI/main
thread is possible by reimplementing paintEvent() to do nothing. The context's
thread affinity has to be changed via QObject::moveToThread(). After that,
makeCurrent() and doneCurrent() are usable on the worker thread. Be careful to
move the context back to the GUI/main thread afterwards.
Unlike QGLWidget, triggering a buffer swap just for the QOpenGLWidget is not
possible since there is no real, onscreen native surface for it. Instead, it
is up to the widget stack to manage composition and buffer swaps on the gui
thread. When a thread is done updating the framebuffer, call update() \b{on
the GUI/main thread} to schedule composition.
Extra care has to be taken to avoid using the framebuffer when the GUI/main
thread is performing compositing. The signals aboutToCompose() and
frameSwapped() will be emitted when the composition is starting and
ending. They are emitted on the GUI/main thread. This means that by using a
direct connection aboutToCompose() can block the GUI/main thread until the
worker thread has finished its rendering. After that, the worker thread must
perform no further rendering until the frameSwapped() signal is emitted. If
this is not acceptable, the worker thread has to implement a double buffering
mechanism. This involves drawing using an alternative render target, that is
fully controlled by the thread, e.g. an additional framebuffer object, and
blitting to the QOpenGLWidget's framebuffer at a suitable time.
\section1 Context Sharing
When multiple QOpenGLWidgets are added as children to the same top-level
widget, their contexts will share with each other. This does not apply for
QOpenGLWidget instances that belong to different windows.
This means that all QOpenGLWidgets in the same window can access each other's
sharable resources, like textures, and there is no need for an extra "global
share" context, as was the case with QGLWidget.
To set up sharing between QOpenGLWidget instances belonging to different
windows, set the Qt::AA_ShareOpenGLContexts application attribute before
instantiating QApplication. This will trigger sharing between all
QOpenGLWidget instances without any further steps.
Creating extra QOpenGLContext instances that share resources like textures
with the QOpenGLWidget's context is also possible. Simply pass the pointer
returned from context() to QOpenGLContext::setShareContext() before calling
QOpenGLContext::create(). The resulting context can also be used on a
different thread, allowing threaded generation of textures and asynchronous
texture uploads.
Note that QOpenGLWidget expects a standard conformant implementation of
resource sharing when it comes to the underlying graphics drivers. For
example, some drivers, in particular for mobile and embedded hardware, have
issues with setting up sharing between an existing context and others that are
created later. Some other drivers may behave in unexpected ways when trying to
utilize shared resources between different threads.
\section1 Resource Initialization and Cleanup
The QOpenGLWidget's associated OpenGL context is guaranteed to be current
whenever initializeGL() and paintGL() are invoked. Do not attempt to create
OpenGL resources before initializeGL() is called. For example, attempting to
compile shaders, initialize vertex buffer objects or upload texture data will
fail when done in a subclass's constructor. These operations must be deferred
to initializeGL(). Some of Qt's OpenGL helper classes, like QOpenGLBuffer or
QOpenGLVertexArrayObject, have a matching deferred behavior: they can be
instantiated without a context, but all initialization is deferred until a
create(), or similar, call. This means that they can be used as normal
(non-pointer) member variables in a QOpenGLWidget subclass, but the create()
or similar function can only be called from initializeGL(). Be aware however
that not all classes are designed like this. When in doubt, make the member
variable a pointer and create and destroy the instance dynamically in
initializeGL() and the destructor, respectively.
Releasing the resources also needs the context to be current. Therefore
destructors that perform such cleanup are expected to call makeCurrent()
before moving on to destroy any OpenGL resources or wrappers. Avoid deferred
deletion via \l{QObject::deleteLater()}{deleteLater()} or the parenting
mechanism of QObject. There is no guarantee the correct context will be
current at the time the instance in question is really destroyed.
A typical subclass will therefore often look like the following when it comes
to resource initialization and destruction:
\snippet code/doc_gui_widgets_qopenglwidget.cpp 4
This is naturally not the only possible solution. One alternative is to use
the \l{QOpenGLContext::aboutToBeDestroyed()}{aboutToBeDestroyed()} signal of
QOpenGLContext. By connecting a slot, using direct connection, to this signal,
it is possible to perform cleanup whenever the the underlying native context
handle, or the entire QOpenGLContext instance, is going to be released. The
following snippet is in principal equivalent to the previous one:
\snippet code/doc_gui_widgets_qopenglwidget.cpp 5
\note For widgets that change their associated top-level window multiple times
during their lifetime, a combined approach is essential. Whenever the widget
or a parent of it gets reparented so that the top-level window becomes
different, the widget's associated context is destroyed and a new one is
created. This is then followed by a call to initializeGL() where all OpenGL
resources must get reinitialized. Due to this the only option to perform
proper cleanup is to connect to the context's aboutToBeDestroyed()
signal. Note that the context in question may not be the current one when the
signal gets emitted. Therefore it is good practice to call makeCurrent() in
the connected slot. Additionally, the same cleanup steps must be performed
from the derived class' destructor, since the slot connected to the signal
will not get invoked when the widget is being destroyed.
\note When Qt::AA_ShareOpenGLContexts is set, the widget's context never
changes, not even when reparenting because the widget's associated texture is
guaranteed to be accessible also from the new top-level's context.
Proper cleanup is especially important due to context sharing. Even though
each QOpenGLWidget's associated context is destroyed together with the
QOpenGLWidget, the sharable resources in that context, like textures, will
stay valid until the top-level window, in which the QOpenGLWidget lived, is
destroyed. Additionally, settings like Qt::AA_ShareOpenGLContexts and some Qt
modules may trigger an even wider scope for sharing contexts, potentially
leading to keeping the resources in question alive for the entire lifetime of
the application. Therefore the safest and most robust is always to perform
explicit cleanup for all resources and resource wrappers used in the
QOpenGLWidget.
\section1 Limitations
Putting other widgets underneath and making the QOpenGLWidget transparent will
not lead to the expected results: The widgets underneath will not be
visible. This is because in practice the QOpenGLWidget is drawn before all
other regular, non-OpenGL widgets, and so see-through type of solutions are
not feasible. Other type of layouts, like having widgets on top of the
QOpenGLWidget, will function as expected.
When absolutely necessary, this limitation can be overcome by setting the
Qt::WA_AlwaysStackOnTop attribute on the QOpenGLWidget. Be aware however that
this breaks stacking order, for example it will not be possible to have other
widgets on top of the QOpenGLWidget, so it should only be used in situations
where a semi-transparent QOpenGLWidget with other widgets visible underneath
is required.
Note that this does not apply when there are no other widgets underneath and
the intention is to have a semi-transparent window. In that case the
traditional approach of setting Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground
on the top-level window is sufficient. Note that if the transparent areas are
only desired in the QOpenGLWidget, then Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground will need
to be turned back to \c false after enabling Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground.
Additionally, requesting an alpha channel for the QOpenGLWidget's context via
setFormat() may be necessary too, depending on the system.
QOpenGLWidget supports multiple update behaviors, just like QOpenGLWindow. In
preserved mode the rendered content from the previous paintGL() call is
available in the next one, allowing incremental rendering. In non-preserved
mode the content is lost and paintGL() implementations are expected to redraw
everything in the view.
Before Qt 5.5 the default behavior of QOpenGLWidget was to preserve the
rendered contents between paintGL() calls. Since Qt 5.5 the default behavior
is non-preserved because this provides better performance and the majority of
applications have no need for the previous content. This also resembles the
semantics of an OpenGL-based QWindow and matches the default behavior of
QOpenGLWindow in that the color and ancillary buffers are invalidated for
each frame. To restore the preserved behavior, call setUpdateBehavior() with
\c PartialUpdate.
\section1 Alternatives
Adding a QOpenGLWidget into a window turns on OpenGL-based
compositing for the entire window. In some special cases this may
not be ideal, and the old QGLWidget-style behavior with a separate,
native child window is desired. Desktop applications that understand
the limitations of this approach (for example when it comes to
overlaps, transparency, scroll views and MDI areas), can use
QOpenGLWindow with QWidget::createWindowContainer(). This is a
modern alternative to QGLWidget and is faster than QOpenGLWidget due
to the lack of the additional composition step. It is strongly
recommended to limit the usage of this approach to cases where there
is no other choice. Note that this option is not suitable for most
embedded and mobile platforms, and it is known to have issues on
certain desktop platforms (e.g. \macos) too. The stable,
cross-platform solution is always QOpenGLWidget.

\since 5.5
This enum describes the update semantics of QOpenGLWidget.
\value NoPartialUpdate QOpenGLWidget will discard the
contents of the color buffer and the ancillary buffers after the
QOpenGLWidget is rendered to screen. This is the same behavior that can be
expected by calling QOpenGLContext::swapBuffers with a default opengl
enabled QWindow as the argument. NoPartialUpdate can have some performance
benefits on certain hardware architectures common in the mobile and
embedded space when a framebuffer object is used as the rendering target.
The framebuffer object is invalidated between frames with
glDiscardFramebufferEXT if supported or a glClear. Please see the
documentation of EXT_discard_framebuffer for more information:
