<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QGLPixelBuffer class encapsulates an OpenGL pbuffer.</p>
<p>Rendering into a pbuffer is normally done using full hardware acceleration. This can be significantly faster than rendering into a <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a>.</p>
<p>There are three approaches to using this class:</p>
<ol class="1">
<li><b>We can draw into the pbuffer and convert it to a <a href="qimage.html">QImage</a> using <a href="qglpixelbuffer.html#toImage">toImage</a>().</b> This is normally much faster than calling <a href="qglwidget.html#renderPixmap">QGLWidget::renderPixmap</a>().</li>
<li><b>We can draw into the pbuffer and copy the contents into an OpenGL texture using <a href="qglpixelbuffer.html#updateDynamicTexture">updateDynamicTexture</a>().</b> This allows us to create dynamic textures and works on all systems with pbuffer support.</li>
<li><b>On systems that support it, we can bind the pbuffer to an OpenGL texture.</b> The texture is then updated automatically when the pbuffer contents change, eliminating the need for additional copy operations. This is supported only on Windows and Mac OS X systems that provide the <tt>render_texture</tt> extension. Note that under Windows, a multi-sampled pbuffer can't be used in conjunction with the <tt>render_texture</tt> extension. If a multi-sampled pbuffer is requested under Windows, the <tt>render_texture</tt> extension is turned off for that pbuffer.</li>
</ol>
<a name="threading"></a>
<h3>Threading</h3>
<p>As of Qt 4.8, it's possible to render into a QGLPixelBuffer using a <a href="qpainter.html">QPainter</a> in a separate thread. Note that OpenGL 2.0 or OpenGL ES 2.0 is required for this to work. Also, under X11, it's necessary to set the <a href="qt.html#ApplicationAttribute-enum">Qt::AA_X11InitThreads</a> application attribute.</p>
<p>Pbuffers are provided by the OpenGL <tt>pbuffer</tt> extension; call hasOpenGLPbuffer() to find out if the system provides pbuffers.</p>

<!-- $$$size[overload1]$$$size -->
<h3 class="fn"><a name="size"></a><span class="type"><a href="qsize.html">QSize</a></span> QGLPixelBuffer::<span class="name">size</span> () const</h3>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="updateDynamicTexture"></a><span class="type">void</span> QGLPixelBuffer::<span class="name">updateDynamicTexture</span> ( <span class="type">GLuint</span> <i>texture_id</i> ) const</h3>
<p>Copies the pbuffer contents into the texture specified with <i>texture_id</i>.</p>
<p>The texture must be of the same size and format as the pbuffer.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type"><a href="qglpixelbuffer.html">QGLPixelBuffer</a></span> pbuffer(<span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span>);
<span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span>

<span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span>
pbuffer<span class="operator">.</span>updateDynamicTexture(dynamicTexture);</pre>
<p>An alternative on Windows and Mac OS X systems that support the <tt>render_texture</tt> extension is to use <a href="qglpixelbuffer.html#bindToDynamicTexture">bindToDynamicTexture</a>() to get dynamic updates of the texture.</p>
