43 \class QGLPixelBuffer
44 \brief The QGLPixelBuffer class encapsulates an OpenGL pbuffer.
45 \since 4.1
46
47 \ingroup multimedia
48
49 Rendering into a pbuffer is normally done using full hardware
50 acceleration. This can be significantly faster than rendering
51 into a QPixmap.
52
53 There are three approaches to using this class:
54
55 \list 1
56 \o \bold{We can draw into the pbuffer and convert it to a QImage
57 using toImage().} This is normally much faster than calling
58 QGLWidget::renderPixmap().
59
60 \o \bold{We can draw into the pbuffer and copy the contents into
61 an OpenGL texture using updateDynamicTexture().} This allows
62 us to create dynamic textures and works on all systems
63 with pbuffer support.
64
65 \o \bold{On systems that support it, we can bind the pbuffer to
