<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 type="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.</li>
</ol>
<p>Pbuffers are provided by the OpenGL <tt>pbuffer</tt> extension; call hasOpenGLPbuffer() to find out if the system provides pbuffers.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="bindTexture" />int QGLPixelBuffer.bindTexture (<i>self</i>, <a href="qimage.html">QImage</a>, int <i>target</i> = GL_TEXTURE_2D)</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 glBindTexture() calls.</p>
<p>The <i>target</i> parameter specifies the texture target.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="bindTexture-2" />int QGLPixelBuffer.bindTexture (<i>self</i>, <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a>, int <i>target</i> = GL_TEXTURE_2D)</h3><p>This is an overloaded function.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="bindTexture-3" />int QGLPixelBuffer.bindTexture (<i>self</i>, QString)</h3><p>This is an overloaded function.</p>
<p>Reads the DirectDrawSurface (DDS) compressed file <i>fileName</i> and generates a 2D GL texture from it.</p>

<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QGLPixelBuffer/bindToDynamicTexture" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="bindToDynamicTexture" />bool QGLPixelBuffer.bindToDynamicTexture (<i>self</i>, int)</h3><p>Binds the texture specified by <i>texture_id</i> to this pbuffer. Returns true on success; otherwise returns false.</p>
<p>The texture must be of the same size and format as the pbuffer.</p>
<p>To unbind the texture, call <a href="qglpixelbuffer.html#releaseFromDynamicTexture">releaseFromDynamicTexture</a>(). While the texture is bound, it is updated automatically when the pbuffer contents change, eliminating the need for additional copy operations.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre> QGLPixelBuffer pbuffer(...);
...
pbuffer.makeCurrent();
GLuint dynamicTexture = pbuffer.generateDynamicTexture();
pbuffer.bindToDynamicTexture(dynamicTexture);
...
pbuffer.releaseFromDynamicTexture();</pre>
<p><b>Warning:</b> This function uses the <tt>render_texture</tt> extension, which is currently not supported under X11. An alternative that works on all systems (including X11) is to manually copy the pbuffer contents to a texture using <a href="qglpixelbuffer.html#updateDynamicTexture">updateDynamicTexture</a>().</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> For the bindToDynamicTexture() call to succeed on the Mac OS X, the pbuffer needs a shared context, i.e. the <a href="qglpixelbuffer.html">QGLPixelBuffer</a> must be created with a share widget.</p>
