Detailed Description
The QSurface class is an abstraction of renderable surfaces in Qt.
The size of the surface is accessible with the size() function. The rendering specific attributes of the surface are accessible through the format() function.
Member Type Documentation
enum QSurface::SurfaceClass
The SurfaceClass enum describes the actual subclass of the surface.
Constant | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
QSurface::Window | 0 | The surface is an instance of QWindow. |
QSurface::Offscreen | 1 | The surface is an instance of QOffscreenSurface. |
enum QSurface::SurfaceType
The SurfaceType enum describes what type of surface this is.
Constant | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
QSurface::RasterSurface | 0 | The surface is is composed of pixels and can be rendered to using a software rasterizer like Qt's raster paint engine. |
QSurface::OpenGLSurface | 1 | The surface is an OpenGL compatible surface and can be used in conjunction with QOpenGLContext. |
QSurface::RasterGLSurface | 2 | The surface can be rendered to using a software rasterizer, and also supports OpenGL. This surface type is intended for internal Qt use, and requires the use of private API. |
