    Normally you can ignore this class. QGLWidget and the other
    OpenGL<sup>*</sup> module classes inherit it, so when you make your
    own QGLWidget subclass you can use the identifiers in the QGL
    namespace without qualification.

    However, you may occasionally find yourself in situations where you
    need to refer to these identifiers from outside the QGL namespace's
    scope, e.g. in static functions. In such cases, simply write e.g. \c
    QGL::DoubleBuffer instead of just \c DoubleBuffer.

    \brief The QGLFormat class specifies the display format of an OpenGL
    rendering context.
\if defined(commercial)
    It is part of the <a href="commercialeditions.html">Qt 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 QGLFormat 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 QGLWidget, 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 QGLFormat and make it the
    default for the entire application:
    \code
    QGLFormat f;
    f.setAlpha( TRUE );
    f.setStereo( TRUE );
    QGLFormat::setDefaultFormat( f );
    \endcode

    Or you can specify the desired format when creating an object of
    your QGLWidget subclass:
    \code
    QGLFormat 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
    QGLFormat 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 required" );
	}
    }
    \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 QGLWidget, for example:
    \code
    // The rendering in MyGLWidget depends on using
    // stencil buffer and alpha channel
    MyGLWidget::MyGLWidget( QWidget* parent, const char* name )
	: QGLWidget( QGLFormat( StencilBuffer | AlphaChannel ), parent, name )

	if ( !format().alphaChannel() )
	    qWarning( "Could not get alpha channel; results will be suboptimal" );
	...
    }
    \endcode

    Note that there are \c FormatOption values to turn format settings
    both on and off, e.g. \c DepthBuffer and \c NoDepthBuffer,
    \c DirectRendering and \c IndirectRendering, etc.

    You can examine properties of the context with, e.g. isValid(),
    isSharing(), initialized(), windowCreated() and

    If you're using double buffering you can swap the screen contents

    \class QGLWidget qgl.h
    \brief The QGLWidget class is a widget for rendering OpenGL graphics.
\if defined(commercial)
    It is part of the <a href="commercialeditions.html">Qt Enterprise Edition</a>.
\endif

    \ingroup graphics
    \ingroup images
    \mainclass
    \module OpenGL

    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
    QWidget, except that instead of drawing the widget's contents
    using QPainter etc. you use the standard OpenGL rendering
    commands.

    QGLWidget 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 QGLWidget subclass might look:

    \code
    class MyGLDrawer : public QGLWidget
    {
	Q_OBJECT	// must include this if you use Qt signals/slots

    public:
	MyGLDrawer( QWidget *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();
	    ...
	}

    };
    \endcode

    If you need to trigger a repaint from places other than paintGL()
    (a typical example is when using \link QTimer 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.

    QGLWidget provides functions for requesting a new display \link
    QGLFormat format\endlink and you can also create widgets with
    customized rendering \link QGLContext contexts\endlink.

    You can also share OpenGL display lists between QGLWidgets (see
    the documentation of the QGLWidget constructors for details).

    \section1 Overlays

    The QGLWidget 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 QGLFormat
    format\endlink. (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:

    \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 Qt windows can also be used for overlays. See the
    examples/opengl/overlay_x11 example program for details.

    Renders the current scene on a pixmap and returns the pixmap.

    You can use this method on both visible and invisible QGLWidgets.

    This method will create a pixmap and a temporary QGLContext to
    render on the pixmap. It will then call initializeGL(),
    resizeGL(), and paintGL() on this context. Finally, the widget's
    original GL context is restored.

    The size of the pixmap will be \a w pixels wide and \a h pixels
    high unless one of these parameters is 0 (the default), in which
    case the pixmap will have the same size as the widget.

    If \a useContext 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.

    Overlays are not rendered onto the pixmap.

    If the GL rendering context and the desktop have different bit
    depths, the result will most likely look surprising.

    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.

\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 Qt on \e both platforms.

The Qt OpenGL module makes it easy to use OpenGL in Qt applications.
It provides an OpenGL widget class that can be used just like any
other Qt widget, except that it opens an OpenGL display buffer where
you can use the OpenGL API to render the contents.

The Qt OpenGL module is implemented as a platform-independent Qt/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 Qt API.

\section1 Installation

When you install Qt for X11, the configure script will autodetect if
OpenGL headers and libraries are installed on your system, and if so,
it will include the Qt OpenGL module in the Qt 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 require threading to be enabled for OpenGL, so if
OpenGL is not detected, try \c{configure -thread}.

When you install Qt for Windows, the Qt OpenGL module is always
included.

The Qt OpenGL module is not licensed for use with the Qt Professional
Edition. Consider upgrading to the Qt Enterprise Edition if you
require 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 QGL Classes

The OpenGL support classes in Qt are:
\list
\i \link QGLWidget QGLWidget\endlink: An easy-to-use Qt
  widget for rendering OpenGL scenes.
\i \link QGLContext QGLContext\endlink: Encapsulates an OpenGL rendering context.
\i \link QGLFormat QGLFormat\endlink: Specifies the
display format of a rendering context.
\i \link QGLColormap QGLColormap\endlink: Handles indexed
colormaps in GL-index mode.
\endlist

Many applications only need the high-level QGLWidget class. The other
QGL 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 QGL 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/}.
