<div class="descr">
<h2 id="details">Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The <a href="qoffscreensurface.html">QOffscreenSurface</a> class represents an offscreen surface in the underlying platform.</p>
<p><a href="qoffscreensurface.html">QOffscreenSurface</a> is intended to be used with <a href="qopenglcontext.html">QOpenGLContext</a> to allow rendering with OpenGL in an arbitrary thread without the need to create a <a href="qwindow.html">QWindow</a>.</p>
<p>Even though the surface is typically renderable, the surface's pixels are not accessible. <a href="qoffscreensurface.html">QOffscreenSurface</a> should only be used to create OpenGL resources such as textures or framebuffer objects.</p>
<p>An application will typically use <a href="qoffscreensurface.html">QOffscreenSurface</a> to perform some time-consuming tasks in a separate thread in order to avoid stalling the main rendering thread. Resources created in the <a href="qoffscreensurface.html">QOffscreenSurface</a>'s context can be shared with the main OpenGL context. Some common use cases are asynchronous texture uploads or rendering into a <a href="qopenglframebufferobject.html">QOpenGLFramebufferObject</a>.</p>
<p>How the offscreen surface is implemented depends on the underlying platform, but it will typically use a pixel buffer (pbuffer). If the platform doesn't implement or support offscreen surfaces, <a href="qoffscreensurface.html">QOffscreenSurface</a> will use an invisible <a href="qwindow.html">QWindow</a> internally.</p>
<p><b>Note: </b>Due to the fact that <a href="qoffscreensurface.html">QOffscreenSurface</a> is backed by a <a href="qwindow.html">QWindow</a> on some platforms, cross-platform applications must ensure that <a href="qoffscreensurface.html#create">create</a>() is only called on the main (GUI) thread. The <a href="qoffscreensurface.html">QOffscreenSurface</a> is then safe to be used with <a href="qopenglcontext.html#makeCurrent">makeCurrent()</a> on other threads, but the initialization and destruction must always happen on the main (GUI) thread.</p><p><b>Note: </b>In order to create an offscreen surface that is guaranteed to be compatible with a given context and window, make sure to set the format to the context's or the window's actual format, that is, the <a href="qsurfaceformat.html">QSurfaceFormat</a> returned from <a href="qopenglcontext.html#format">QOpenGLContext::format</a>() or <a href="qwindow.html#format">QWindow::format</a>() <i>after the context or window has been created</i>. Passing the format returned from <a href="qwindow.html#requestedFormat">QWindow::requestedFormat</a>() to <a href="qoffscreensurface.html#setFormat">setFormat</a>() may result in an incompatible offscreen surface since the underlying windowing system interface may offer a different set of configurations for window and pbuffer surfaces.</p><p><b>Note: </b>Some platforms may utilize a surfaceless context extension (for example EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context) when available. In this case there will be no underlying native surface. For the use cases of <a href="qoffscreensurface.html">QOffscreenSurface</a> (rendering to FBOs, texture upload) this is not a problem.</p></div>
