Detailed Description

An alternative canvas for a QwtPlot derived from QGLWidget.

QwtPlotGLCanvas implements the very basics to act as canvas inside of a QwtPlot widget. It might be extended to a full featured alternative to QwtPlotCanvas in a future version of Qwt.

Even if QwtPlotGLCanvas is not derived from QFrame it imitates its API. When using style sheets it supports the box model - beside backgrounds with rounded borders.

Since Qt 5.4 QOpenGLWidget is available, that is used by QwtPlotOpenGLCanvas.

QwtPlot::setCanvas(), QwtPlotCanvas, QwtPlotOpenGLCanvas

Note

With Qt4 you might want to use the QPaintEngine::OpenGL paint engine ( see QGL::setPreferredPaintEngine() ). On a Linux test system QPaintEngine::OpenGL2 shows very basic problems like translated geometries.

Another way for getting hardware accelerated graphics is using an OpenGL offscreen buffer ( QwtPlotCanvas::OpenGLBuffer ) with QwtPlotCanvas. Performance is worse, than rendering straight to a QGLWidget, but is usually better integrated into a desktop application.
