Add a section about QOpenGLWidget alternatives
QOpenGLWindow with createWindowContainer() can be an option for desktop-only apps in some special cases. Document this. Task-number: QTBUG-45192 Change-Id: I7c59b7d04d6c0fe58ffe93ac72b204103bef2f4c Reviewed-by: Gunnar Sletta <gunnar@sletta.org>

|
||||
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. OS X) too. The stable,
|
||||
cross-platform solution is always QOpenGLWidget.
