|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The TQGLFormat class specifies the display format of an OpenGL
|
||
|
|
rendering context.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> A display format has several characteristics:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> <a href="#setDoubleBuffer">Double or single buffering.</a>
|
||
|
|
<li> <a href="#setDepth">Depth buffer.</a>
|
||
|
|
<li> <a href="#setRgba">RGBA or color index mode.</a>
|
||
|
|
<li> <a href="#setAlpha">Alpha channel.</a>
|
||
|
|
<li> <a href="#setAccum">Accumulation buffer.</a>
|
||
|
|
<li> <a href="#setStencil">Stencil buffer.</a>
|
||
|
|
<li> <a href="#setStereo">Stereo buffers.</a>
|
||
|
|
<li> <a href="#setDirectRendering">Direct rendering.</a>
|
||
|
|
<li> <a href="#setOverlay">Presence of an overlay.</a>
|
||
|
|
<li> <a href="#setPlane">The plane of an overlay format.</a>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p> You create and tell a TQGLFormat object what rendering options you
|
||
|
|
want from an OpenGL<sup>*</sup> rendering context.
|
||
|
|
<p> 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
|
||
|
5 months ago
|
provide when you create a <a href="tqglwidget.html">TQGLWidget</a>, you will get a rendering
|
||
|
13 years ago
|
context with the nearest subset of features.
|
||
|
|
<p> 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:
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
TQGLFormat f;
|
||
|
|
f.<a href="#setAlpha">setAlpha</a>( TRUE );
|
||
|
|
f.<a href="#setStereo">setStereo</a>( TRUE );
|
||
|
|
TQGLFormat::<a href="#setDefaultFormat">setDefaultFormat</a>( f );
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> Or you can specify the desired format when creating an object of
|
||
|
|
your TQGLWidget subclass:
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
TQGLFormat f;
|
||
|
|
f.<a href="#setDoubleBuffer">setDoubleBuffer</a>( FALSE ); // single buffer
|
||
|
|
f.<a href="#setDirectRendering">setDirectRendering</a>( FALSE ); // software rendering
|
||
|
|
MyGLWidget* myWidget = new MyGLWidget( f, ... );
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> After the widget has been created, you can find out which of the
|
||
|
|
requested features the system was able to provide:
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
TQGLFormat f;
|
||
|
|
f.<a href="#setOverlay">setOverlay</a>( TRUE );
|
||
|
|
f.<a href="#setStereo">setStereo</a>( TRUE );
|
||
|
|
MyGLWidget* myWidget = new MyGLWidget( f, ... );
|
||
|
|
if ( !w->format().stereo() ) {
|
||
|
|
// ok, goggles off
|
||
|
|
if ( !w->format().hasOverlay() ) {

Sets a new default TQGLFormat for the application to <em>f</em>. For

example, to set single buffering as the default instead of double

Sets a new default TQGLFormat for overlay contexts to <em>f</em>. This

format is used whenever a <a href="tqglwidget.html">TQGLWidget</a> is created with a format that

<a href="#hasOverlay">hasOverlay</a>() enabled.
|

<p> For example, to get a double buffered overlay context (if

<p> As usual, you can find out after widget creation whether the

If <em>enable</em> is TRUE enables the depth buffer; otherwise disables

|
the depth buffer.
|
||
|
|
<p> The depth buffer is enabled by default.
|
||
|
|
<p> The purpose of a depth buffer (or Z-buffering) is to remove hidden
|
||
|
|
surfaces. Pixels are assigned Z values based on the distance to
|
||
|
|
the viewer. A pixel with a high Z value is closer to the viewer
|
||
|
|
than a pixel with a low Z value. This information is used to
|
||
|
|
decide whether to draw a pixel or not.

direct rendering.
|

<p> Direct rendering is enabled by default.

<p> Enabling this option will make OpenGL bypass the underlying window

system and render directly from hardware to the screen, if this is

supported by the system.

If <em>enable</em> is TRUE sets double buffering; otherwise sets single
|

|
|
buffering.
|
||
|
|
<p> Double buffering is enabled by default.
|
||
|
|
<p> Double buffering is a technique where graphics are rendered on an
|
||
|
|
off-screen buffer and not directly to the screen. When the drawing
|
||
|
|
has been completed, the program calls a swapBuffers() function to
|
||
|
|
exchange the screen contents with the buffer. The result is
|
||
|
|
flicker-free drawing and often better performance.
