Qt Shader Tools
The Qt Shader Tools module builds on the SPIR-V Open Source Ecosystem as described at the Khronos SPIR-V web site.
The main components of the Qt shader conditioning system are:
- the
qsbcommand-line tool - CMake integration for the
qsbtool - QShader (part of the QtGui module)
- QShaderBaker (part of this module, the library equivalent of the
qsbtool)
Note: As of Qt 6.5, the C++ APIs are considered private. They are not recommended for direct usage from applications. Rather, use the qsb command-line tool either directly, or indirectly from CMake projects.
