Detailed Description

display a vtkGenericOpenGLRenderWindow in a Qt QOpenGLWindow.

QVTKOpenGLWindow is one of the mechanisms for displaying VTK rendering results in a Qt application. QVTKOpenGLWindow extends QOpenGLWindow to display the rendering results of a vtkGenericOpenGLRenderWindow.

Since QVTKOpenGLWindow is based on QOpenGLWindow it is intended for rendering in a top-level window. QVTKOpenGLWindow can be embedded in a another QWidget using QWidget::createWindowContainer or by using QVTKOpenGLStereoWidget instead. However, developers are encouraged to check Qt documentation for QWidget::createWindowContainer idiosyncrasies. Using QVTKOpenGLNativeWidget instead is generally a better choice for causes where you want to embed VTK rendering results in a QWidget. QVTKOpenGLWindow or QVTKOpenGLStereoWidget is still preferred for applications that want to support quad-buffer based stereo rendering.

To request a specific configuration for the context, use QWindow::setFormat() like for any other QWindow. This allows, among others, requesting a given OpenGL version and profile. Use QOpenGLWindow::defaultFormat() to obtain a QSurfaceFormat with appropriate OpenGL version configuration. To enable quad-buffer stereo, you'll need to call QSurfaceFormat::setStereo(true).

VTK Rendering features like multi-sampling, double buffering etc. are enabled/disabled by directly setting the corresponding attributes on vtkGenericOpenGLRenderWindow and not when specifying the OpenGL context format in setFormat. If not specified, then QSurfaceFormat::defaultFormat will be used.

Note

QVTKOpenGLWindow requires Qt version 5.9 and above.

Member Function Documentation

setRenderWindow() [1/2]

void QVTKOpenGLWindow::setRenderWindow

(

vtkGenericOpenGLRenderWindow *

win

)

Set a render window to use.

It a render window was already set, it will be finalized and all of its OpenGL resource released. If the win is non-null and it has no interactor set, then a QVTKInteractor instance will be created as set on the render window as the interactor.

setRenderWindow() [2/2]

void QVTKOpenGLWindow::setRenderWindow

(

vtkRenderWindow *

win

)

Set a render window to use.

It a render window was already set, it will be finalized and all of its OpenGL resource released. If the win is non-null and it has no interactor set, then a QVTKInteractor instance will be created as set on the render window as the interactor.

renderWindow()

vtkRenderWindow * QVTKOpenGLWindow::renderWindow

(

)

const

Returns the render window that is being shown in this widget.

interactor()

QVTKInteractor * QVTKOpenGLWindow::interactor

(

)

const

Get the QVTKInteractor that was either created by default or set by the user.

defaultFormat()

static QSurfaceFormat QVTKOpenGLWindow::defaultFormat ( bool  stereo_capable = false )

static

Returns a QSurfaceFormat suitable for surfaces that intend to be used for VTK rendering.

If your applications plans on using QVTKOpenGLNativeWidget, then this format (or similar) must be set as the default format on QSurfaceFormat before any widgets are created.

Note this returns a QSurfaceFormat required to support the OpenGL rendering capabilities in a vtkRenderWindow. Whether those features, e.g. multi sampling, is actually used for rendering is determined by values specified on the vtkRenderWindow instance itself through appropriate API.

Passing stereo_capable=true is same as calling QSurfaceFormat::setStereo(true). This is necessary if you want to use quad-buffer based stereo in your application.

Refer to Qt docs for QOpenGLWidget and QOpenGLWindow for appropriate locations in your application where to the format may be provided e.g. either on the instance of QOpenGLWindow or QOpenGLWidget subclasses or as default format for the application using QSurfaceFormat::setDefaultFormat().

setEnableHiDPI()

void QVTKOpenGLWindow::setEnableHiDPI

(

bool

enable

)

Enable or disable support for HiDPI displays.

When enabled, this enabled DPI scaling i.e. vtkWindow::SetDPI will be called with a DPI value scaled by the device pixel ratio every time the widget is resized. The unscaled DPI value can be specified by using setUnscaledDPI.

enableHiDPI()

bool QVTKOpenGLWindow::enableHiDPI ( ) const

inline

Enable or disable support for HiDPI displays.

When enabled, this enabled DPI scaling i.e. vtkWindow::SetDPI will be called with a DPI value scaled by the device pixel ratio every time the widget is resized. The unscaled DPI value can be specified by using setUnscaledDPI.

setUnscaledDPI()

void QVTKOpenGLWindow::setUnscaledDPI

(

int

)

Set/Get unscaled DPI value.

Defaults to 72, which is also the default value in vtkWindow.

unscaledDPI()

int QVTKOpenGLWindow::unscaledDPI ( ) const

inline

Set/Get unscaled DPI value.

Defaults to 72, which is also the default value in vtkWindow.

Definition at line 113 of file QVTKOpenGLWindow.h.

setCustomDevicePixelRatio()

void QVTKOpenGLWindow::setCustomDevicePixelRatio

(

double

cdpr

)

Set/Get a custom device pixel ratio to use to map Qt sizes to VTK (or OpenGL) sizes.

Thus, when the QWidget is resized, it called vtkRenderWindow::SetSize on the internal vtkRenderWindow after multiplying the QWidget's size by this scale factor.

By default, this is set to 0. Which means that devicePixelRatio obtained from Qt will be used. Set this to a number greater than 0 to override this behaviour and use the custom scale factor instead.

effectiveDevicePixelRatio can be used to obtain the device-pixel-ratio that will be used given the value for customDevicePixelRatio.

customDevicePixelRatio()

double QVTKOpenGLWindow::customDevicePixelRatio ( ) const

inline

Set/Get a custom device pixel ratio to use to map Qt sizes to VTK (or OpenGL) sizes.

Thus, when the QWidget is resized, it called vtkRenderWindow::SetSize on the internal vtkRenderWindow after multiplying the QWidget's size by this scale factor.

By default, this is set to 0. Which means that devicePixelRatio obtained from Qt will be used. Set this to a number greater than 0 to override this behaviour and use the custom scale factor instead.

effectiveDevicePixelRatio can be used to obtain the device-pixel-ratio that will be used given the value for customDevicePixelRatio.

Definition at line 131 of file QVTKOpenGLWindow.h.

effectiveDevicePixelRatio()

double QVTKOpenGLWindow::effectiveDevicePixelRatio

(

)

const

Set/Get a custom device pixel ratio to use to map Qt sizes to VTK (or OpenGL) sizes.

Thus, when the QWidget is resized, it called vtkRenderWindow::SetSize on the internal vtkRenderWindow after multiplying the QWidget's size by this scale factor.

By default, this is set to 0. Which means that devicePixelRatio obtained from Qt will be used. Set this to a number greater than 0 to override this behaviour and use the custom scale factor instead.

const QCursor &

cursor

Set/get the default cursor to use for this widget.

defaultCursor()

const QCursor & QVTKOpenGLWindow::defaultCursor ( ) const

Set/get the default cursor to use for this widget.
