<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QGLFormat class specifies the display format of an OpenGL rendering context.</p>
<p>A display format has several characteristics:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="qglformat.html#setDoubleBuffer">Double or single buffering.</a></li>
<li><a href="qglformat.html#setDepth">Depth buffer.</a></li>
<li><a href="qglformat.html#setRgba">RGBA or color index mode.</a></li>
<li><a href="qglformat.html#setAlpha">Alpha channel.</a></li>
<li><a href="qglformat.html#setAccum">Accumulation buffer.</a></li>
<li><a href="qglformat.html#setStencil">Stencil buffer.</a></li>
<li><a href="qglformat.html#setStereo">Stereo buffers.</a></li>
<li><a href="qglformat.html#setDirectRendering">Direct rendering.</a></li>
<li><a href="qglformat.html#setOverlay">Presence of an overlay.</a></li>
<li><a href="qglformat.html#setPlane">Plane of an overlay.</a></li>
<li><a href="qglformat.html#setSampleBuffers">Multisample buffers.</a></li>
</ul>
<p>You can also specify preferred bit depths for the color buffer, depth buffer, alpha buffer, accumulation buffer and the stencil buffer with the functions: <a href="qglformat.html#setRedBufferSize">setRedBufferSize</a>(), <a href="qglformat.html#setGreenBufferSize">setGreenBufferSize</a>(), <a href="qglformat.html#setBlueBufferSize">setBlueBufferSize</a>(), <a href="qglformat.html#setDepthBufferSize">setDepthBufferSize</a>(), <a href="qglformat.html#setAlphaBufferSize">setAlphaBufferSize</a>(), <a href="qglformat.html#setAccumBufferSize">setAccumBufferSize</a>() and <a href="qglformat.html#setStencilBufferSize">setStencilBufferSize</a>().</p>
<p>Note that even if you specify that you prefer a 32 bit depth buffer (e.g. with setDepthBufferSize(32)), the format that is chosen may not have a 32 bit depth buffer, even if there is a format available with a 32 bit depth buffer. The main reason for this is how the system dependant picking algorithms work on the different platforms, and some format options may have higher precedence than others.</p>
<p>You create and tell a QGLFormat object what rendering options you want from an OpenGL rendering context.</p>
<p>OpenGL drivers or accelerated hardware may or may not support advanced features such as alpha channel or stereographic viewing. If you request some features that the driver/hardware does not provide when you create a <a href="qglwidget.html">QGLWidget</a>, you will get a rendering context with the nearest subset of features.</p>
<p>There are different ways to define the display characteristics of a rendering context. One is to create a QGLFormat and make it the default for the entire application:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type">QGLFormat</span> fmt;
fmt<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qglformat.html#setAlpha">setAlpha</a>(<span class="keyword">true</span>);
fmt<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qglformat.html#setStereo">setStereo</a>(<span class="keyword">true</span>);
<span class="type">QGLFormat</span><span class="operator">::</span><a href="qglformat.html#setDefaultFormat">setDefaultFormat</a>(fmt);</pre>
<p>Or you can specify the desired format when creating an object of your <a href="qglwidget.html">QGLWidget</a> subclass:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type">QGLFormat</span> fmt;
fmt<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qglformat.html#setDoubleBuffer">setDoubleBuffer</a>(<span class="keyword">false</span>); <span class="comment">// single buffer</span>
fmt<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qglformat.html#setDirectRendering">setDirectRendering</a>(<span class="keyword">false</span>); <span class="comment">// software rendering</span>

<p>After the widget has been created, you can find out which of the requested features the system was able to provide:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type">QGLFormat</span> fmt;
fmt<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qglformat.html#setOverlay">setOverlay</a>(<span class="keyword">true</span>);
fmt<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qglformat.html#setStereo">setStereo</a>(<span class="keyword">true</span>);
MyGLWidget<span class="operator">*</span> myWidget <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> MyGLWidget(fmt<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span>);
<span class="keyword">if</span> (<span class="operator">!</span>myWidget<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>format()<span class="operator">.</span>stereo()) {
<span class="comment">// ok, goggles off</span>
<span class="keyword">if</span> (<span class="operator">!</span>myWidget<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>format()<span class="operator">.</span>hasOverlay()) {

<p>Double buffering is enabled by default.</p>
<p>Double buffering is a technique where graphics are rendered on an off-screen buffer and not directly to the screen.
