<p>An OpenGL rendering context is a complete set of OpenGL state variables. The rendering context's <a href="qgl.html#FormatOption-enum">format</a> is set in the constructor, but it can also be set later with <a href="qglcontext.html#setFormat">setFormat</a>(). The format options that are actually set are returned by <a href="qglcontext.html#format">format</a>(); the options you asked for are returned by <a href="qglcontext.html#requestedFormat">requestedFormat</a>(). Note that after a QGLContext object has been constructed, the actual OpenGL context must be created by explicitly calling the <a href="qglcontext.html#create">create()</a> function. The <a href="qglcontext.html#makeCurrent">makeCurrent</a>() function makes this context the current rendering context. You can make <i>no</i> context current using <a href="qglcontext.html#doneCurrent">doneCurrent</a>(). The <a href="qglcontext.html#reset">reset</a>() function will reset the context and make it invalid.</p>
<p>You can examine properties of the context with, e.g. <a href="qglcontext.html#isValid">isValid</a>(), <a href="qglcontext.html#isSharing">isSharing</a>(), <a href="qglcontext.html#initialized">initialized</a>(), <a href="qglcontext.html#windowCreated">windowCreated</a>() and <a href="qglcontext.html#overlayTransparentColor">overlayTransparentColor</a>().</p>
<p>If you're using double buffering you can swap the screen contents with the off-screen buffer using <a href="qglcontext.html#swapBuffers">swapBuffers</a>().</p>
<p>Please note that QGLContext is not thread safe.</p>

<p>Used by x11 from pixmap to choose wether or not it can bind the pixmap upside down or not.</p>
<p>Used by paint engines to indicate that the pixmap should be memory managed along side with the pixmap/image that it stems from, e.g. installing destruction hooks in them.</p>
<p>This enum was introduced in Qt 4.6.</p>
<p>The BindOptions type is a typedef for <a href="qflags.html">QFlags</a>&lt;BindOption&gt;. It stores an OR combination of BindOption values.</p>

<p>If the underlying OpenGL/Window system cannot satisfy all the features requested in <i>format</i>, the nearest subset of features will be used. After creation, the <a href="qglcontext.html#format">format</a>() method will return the actual format obtained.</p>
<p>Note that after a <a href="qglcontext.html">QGLContext</a> object has been constructed, <a href="qglcontext.html#create">create</a>() must be called explicitly to create the actual OpenGL context. The context will be <a href="qglcontext.html#isValid">invalid</a> if it was not possible to obtain a GL context at all.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="areSharing" />bool QGLContext.areSharing (<a href="qglcontext.html">QGLContext</a>, <a href="qglcontext.html">QGLContext</a>)</h3><p>Returns true if <i>context1</i> and <i>context2</i> are sharing their GL resources such as textures, shader programs, etc; otherwise returns false.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.6.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QGLContext/bindTexture" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="bindTexture" />int QGLContext.bindTexture (<i>self</i>, <a href="qimage.html">QImage</a>, int&#160;<i>target</i>&#160;=&#160;GL_TEXTURE_2D, int&#160;<i>format</i>&#160;=&#160;GL_RGBA)</h3><p>Generates and binds a 2D GL texture to the current context, based on <i>image</i>. The generated texture id is returned and can be used in later <tt>glBindTexture()</tt> calls.</p>
<p>The <i>target</i> parameter specifies the texture target. The default target is <tt>GL_TEXTURE_2D</tt>.</p>
<p>The <i>format</i> parameter sets the internal format for the texture. The default format is <tt>GL_RGBA</tt>.</p>
<p>The binding <i>options</i> are a set of options used to decide how to bind the texture to the context.</p>
<p>The texture that is generated is cached, so multiple calls to bindTexture() with the same <a href="qimage.html">QImage</a> will return the same texture id.</p>
<p>Note that we assume default values for the glPixelStore() and glPixelTransfer() parameters.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.6.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qglcontext.html#deleteTexture">deleteTexture</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="bindTexture-2" />int QGLContext.bindTexture (<i>self</i>, <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a>, int&#160;<i>target</i>&#160;=&#160;GL_TEXTURE_2D, int&#160;<i>format</i>&#160;=&#160;GL_RGBA)</h3><p>This is an overloaded function.</p>
<p>Reads the compressed texture file <i>fileName</i> and generates a 2D GL texture from it.</p>
<p>This function can load DirectDrawSurface (DDS) textures in the DXT1, DXT3 and DXT5 DDS formats if the <tt>GL_ARB_texture_compression</tt> and <tt>GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc</tt> extensions are supported.</p>
<p>Since 4.6.1, textures in the ETC1 format can be loaded if the <tt>GL_OES_compressed_ETC1_RGB8_texture</tt> extension is supported and the ETC1 texture has been encapsulated in the PVR container format. Also, textures in the PVRTC2 and PVRTC4 formats can be loaded if the <tt>GL_IMG_texture_compression_pvrtc</tt> extension is supported.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qglcontext.html#deleteTexture">deleteTexture</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="bindTexture-3" />int QGLContext.bindTexture (<i>self</i>, QString)</h3><p>Generates and binds a 2D GL texture to the current context, based on <i>image</i>. The generated texture id is returned and can be used in later <tt>glBindTexture()</tt> calls.</p>
<p>This is an overloaded function.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="bindTexture-4" />int QGLContext.bindTexture (<i>self</i>, <a href="qimage.html">QImage</a>, int, int, <a href="qglcontext-bindoptions.html">BindOptions</a>)</h3><p>This is an overloaded function.</p>
<p>Generates and binds a 2D GL texture based on <i>pixmap</i>.</p>

<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.6.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QGLContext/chooseContext" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="chooseContext" />bool QGLContext.chooseContext (<i>self</i>, <a href="qglcontext.html">QGLContext</a>&#160;<i>shareContext</i>&#160;=&#160;None)</h3><p>This semi-internal function is called by <a href="qglcontext.html#create">create</a>(). It creates a system-dependent OpenGL handle that matches the <a href="qglcontext.html#format">format</a>() of <i>shareContext</i> as closely as possible, returning true if successful or false if a suitable handle could not be found.</p>
<p>On Windows, it calls the virtual function <a href="qglcontext.html#choosePixelFormat">choosePixelFormat</a>(), which finds a matching pixel format identifier. On X11, it calls the virtual function <a href="qglcontext.html#chooseVisual">chooseVisual</a>() which finds an appropriate X visual. On other platforms it may work differently.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QGLContext/chooseMacVisual" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="chooseVisual" />sip.voidptr QGLContext.chooseVisual (<i>self</i>)</h3><p><b>X11 only:</b> This virtual function tries to find a visual that matches the format, reducing the demands if the original request cannot be met.</p>
<p>The algorithm for reducing the demands of the format is quite simple-minded, so override this method in your subclass if your application has spcific requirements on visual selection.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qglcontext.html#chooseContext">chooseContext</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QGLContext/create" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="create" />bool QGLContext.create (<i>self</i>, <a href="qglcontext.html">QGLContext</a>&#160;<i>shareContext</i>&#160;=&#160;None)</h3><p>Creates the GL context. Returns true if it was successful in creating a valid GL rendering context on the paint device specified in the constructor; otherwise returns false (i.e. the context is invalid).</p>
<p>After successful creation, <a href="qglcontext.html#format">format</a>() returns the set of features of the created GL rendering context.</p>
<p>If <i>shareContext</i> points to a valid <a href="qglcontext.html">QGLContext</a>, this method will try to establish OpenGL display list and texture object sharing between this context and the <i>shareContext</i>. Note that this may fail if the two contexts have different <a href="qglcontext.html#format">formats</a>. Use <a href="qglcontext.html#isSharing">isSharing</a>() to see if sharing is in effect.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> Implementation note: initialization of C++ class members usually takes place in the class constructor. <a href="qglcontext.html">QGLContext</a> is an exception because it must be simple to customize. The virtual functions <a href="qglcontext.html#chooseContext">chooseContext</a>() (and <a href="qglcontext.html#chooseVisual">chooseVisual</a>() for X11) can be reimplemented in a subclass to select a particular context. The problem is that virtual functions are not properly called during construction (even though this is correct C++) because C++ constructs class hierarchies from the bottom up. For this reason we need a create() function.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="isValid" />bool QGLContext.isValid (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns true if a GL rendering context has been successfully created; otherwise returns false.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QGLContext/makeCurrent" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="makeCurrent" />QGLContext.makeCurrent (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Makes this context the current OpenGL rendering context. All GL functions you call operate on this context until another context is made current.</p>
<p>In some very rare cases the underlying call may fail. If this occurs an error message is output to stderr.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QGLContext/overlayTransparentColor" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="overlayTransparentColor" /><a href="qcolor.html">QColor</a> QGLContext.overlayTransparentColor (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>If this context is a valid context in an overlay plane, returns the plane's transparent color. Otherwise returns an <a href="qcolor.html#isValid">invalid</a> color.</p>
<p>The returned color's <a class="compat" href="qcolor-qt3.html#pixel">pixel</a> value is the index of the transparent color in the colormap of the overlay plane. (Naturally, the color's RGB values are meaningless.)</p>
<p>The returned <a href="qcolor.html">QColor</a> object will generally work as expected only when passed as the argument to <a href="qglwidget.html#qglColor">QGLWidget.qglColor</a>() or <a href="qglwidget.html#qglClearColor">QGLWidget.qglClearColor</a>(). Under certain circumstances it can also be used to draw transparent graphics with a <a href="qpainter.html">QPainter</a>. See the examples/opengl/overlay_x11 example for details.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QGLContext/requestedFormat" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="requestedFormat" /><a href="qglformat.html">QGLFormat</a> QGLContext.requestedFormat (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the frame buffer format that was originally requested in the constructor or <a href="qglcontext.html#setFormat">setFormat</a>().</p>
<p>See also <a href="qglcontext.html#format">format</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QGLContext/reset" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="reset" />QGLContext.reset (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Resets the context and makes it invalid.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qglcontext.html#create">create</a>() and <a href="qglcontext.html#isValid">isValid</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QGLContext/setFormat" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setFormat" />QGLContext.setFormat (<i>self</i>, <a href="qglformat.html">QGLFormat</a>)</h3><p>Sets a <i>format</i> for this context. The context is <a href="qglcontext.html#reset">reset</a>.</p>
<p>Call <a href="qglcontext.html#create">create</a>() to create a new GL context that tries to match the new format.</p>

<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QGLContext/setInitialized" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setInitialized" />QGLContext.setInitialized (<i>self</i>, bool)</h3><p>If <i>on</i> is true the context has been initialized, i.e. QGLContext.setInitialized() has been called on it. If <i>on</i> is false the context has not been initialized.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qglcontext.html#initialized">initialized</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/clm/QGLContext/setTextureCacheLimit" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setTextureCacheLimit" />QGLContext.setTextureCacheLimit (int)</h3><p>This function sets the limit for the texture cache to <i>size</i>, expressed in kilobytes.</p>
<p>By default, the cache limit is approximately 64 MB.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qglcontext.html#textureCacheLimit">textureCacheLimit</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QGLContext/setWindowCreated" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="setWindowCreated" />QGLContext.setWindowCreated (<i>self</i>, bool)</h3><p>If <i>on</i> is true the context has had a window created for it. If <i>on</i> is false no window has been created for the context.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qglcontext.html#windowCreated">windowCreated</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QGLContext/swapBuffers" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="swapBuffers" />QGLContext.swapBuffers (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Swaps the screen contents with an off-screen buffer. Only works if the context is in double buffer mode.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qglformat.html#setDoubleBuffer">QGLFormat.setDoubleBuffer</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/clm/QGLContext/textureCacheLimit" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="textureCacheLimit" />int QGLContext.textureCacheLimit ()</h3><p>Returns the current texture cache limit in kilobytes.</p>
