Simple RHI Widget Example#
Shows how to render a triangle using QRhi, Qt’s 3D API and shading
language abstraction layer.
This example is, in many ways, the counterpart of the RHI Window Example
in the QWidget world. The QRhiWidget subclass in this applications renders
a single triangle, using a simple graphics pipeline with basic vertex and
fragment shaders. Unlike the plain QWindow-based application, this example
does not need to worry about lower level details, such as setting up the window
and the QRhi, or dealing with swapchain and window events, as that is taken
care of by the QWidget framework here. The instance of the QRhiWidget
subclass is added to a QVBoxLayout. To keep the example minimal and
compact, there are no further widgets or 3D content introduced.
Once an instance of ExampleRhiWidget, a QRhiWidget subclass, is added
to a top-level widget’s child hierarchy, the corresponding window automatically
becomes a Direct 3D, Vulkan, Metal, or OpenGL-rendered window. The
QPainter-rendered widget content, i.e. everything that is not a
QRhiWidget, QOpenGLWidget, or QQuickWidget, is then uploaded to a
texture, whereas the mentioned special widgets each render to a texture. The
resulting set textures is composited together by the top-level widget’s
backingstore.
As opposed to the C++ example, the cleanup is done by reimplementing
QRhiWidget.releaseResources(), which is called from QWidget.closeEvent() of
the top level widget to ensure a deterministic cleanup sequence.
