+<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
+
+
+The QGLFormat class specifies the display format of an OpenGL
+rendering context.
+
+<p>
+
+
+<p> A display format has several characteristics:
+<ul>
+<li> <a href="#setDoubleBuffer">Double or single buffering.</a>
+<li> <a href="#setDepth">Depth buffer.</a>
+<li> <a href="#setRgba">RGBA or color index mode.</a>
+<li> <a href="#setAlpha">Alpha channel.</a>
+<li> <a href="#setAccum">Accumulation buffer.</a>
+<li> <a href="#setStencil">Stencil buffer.</a>
+<li> <a href="#setStereo">Stereo buffers.</a>
+<li> <a href="#setDirectRendering">Direct rendering.</a>
+<li> <a href="#setOverlay">Presence of an overlay.</a>
+<li> <a href="#setPlane">The plane of an overlay format.</a>
+</ul>
+<p> You create and tell a QGLFormat object what rendering options you
+want from an OpenGL<sup>*</sup> rendering context.
+<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> 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:
+<pre>
+ QGLFormat f;
+ f.<a href="#setAlpha">setAlpha</a>( TRUE );
+ f.<a href="#setStereo">setStereo</a>( TRUE );
+ QGLFormat::<a href="#setDefaultFormat">setDefaultFormat</a>( f );
+ </pre>
+
+<p> Or you can specify the desired format when creating an object of
+your QGLWidget subclass:
+<pre>
+ QGLFormat f;
+ f.<a href="#setDoubleBuffer">setDoubleBuffer</a>( FALSE ); // single buffer
+ f.<a href="#setDirectRendering">setDirectRendering</a>( FALSE ); // software rendering
+ MyGLWidget* myWidget = new MyGLWidget( f, ... );
+ </pre>
+
+<p> After the widget has been created, you can find out which of the
+requested features the system was able to provide:
+<pre>
+ QGLFormat f;
+ f.<a href="#setOverlay">setOverlay</a>( TRUE );
+ f.<a href="#setStereo">setStereo</a>( TRUE );
+ MyGLWidget* myWidget = new MyGLWidget( f, ... );
+ if ( !w-&gt;format().stereo() ) {
+ // ok, goggles off
+ if ( !w-&gt;format().hasOverlay() ) {
+ <a href="qapplication.html#qFatal">qFatal</a>( "Cool hardware required" );
+ }
+ }
+ </pre>

+<h3 class=fn><a name="QGLFormat"></a>QGLFormat::QGLFormat ()
+</h3>
+Constructs a QGLFormat object with the factory default settings:
+<ul>
+<li> <a href="#setDoubleBuffer">Double buffer:</a> Enabled.
+<li> <a href="#setDepth">Depth buffer:</a> Enabled.
+<li> <a href="#setRgba">RGBA:</a> Enabled (i.e., color index disabled).
+<li> <a href="#setAlpha">Alpha channel:</a> Disabled.
+<li> <a href="#setAccum">Accumulator buffer:</a> Disabled.
+<li> <a href="#setStencil">Stencil buffer:</a> Disabled.
+<li> <a href="#setStereo">Stereo:</a> Disabled.
+<li> <a href="#setDirectRendering">Direct rendering:</a> Enabled.
+<li> <a href="#setOverlay">Overlay:</a> Disabled.
+<li> <a href="#setPlane">Plane:</a> 0 (i.e., normal plane).
+</ul>
+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="QGLFormat-2"></a>QGLFormat::QGLFormat ( int&nbsp;options, int&nbsp;plane = 0 )
+</h3>
+Creates a QGLFormat object that is a copy of the current <a href="#defaultFormat">application default format</a>.
+<p> If <em>options</em> is not 0, this copy is modified by these format
+options. The <em>options</em> parameter should be <a href="qgl.html#FormatOption-enum">FormatOption</a> values
+OR'ed together.
+<p> This constructor makes it easy to specify a certain desired format
+in classes derived from <a href="qglwidget.html">QGLWidget</a>, for example:
+<pre>
+ // The rendering in MyGLWidget depends on using
+ // stencil buffer and alpha channel
+ MyGLWidget::MyGLWidget( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>* parent, const char* name )
+ : <a href="qglwidget.html">QGLWidget</a>( <a href="#QGLFormat">QGLFormat</a>( StencilBuffer | AlphaChannel ), parent, name )
+ {
+ if ( !format().stencil() )
+ <a href="qapplication.html#qWarning">qWarning</a>( "Could not get stencil buffer; results will be suboptimal" );
+ if ( !format().alphaChannel() )
+ <a href="qapplication.html#qWarning">qWarning</a>( "Could not get alpha channel; results will be suboptimal" );
+ ...
+ }
+ </pre>
+
+<p> Note that there are <a href="qgl.html#FormatOption-enum">FormatOption</a> values to turn format settings
+both on and off, e.g. <a href="qgl.html#FormatOption-enum">DepthBuffer</a> and <a href="qgl.html#FormatOption-enum">NoDepthBuffer</a>,
+<a href="qgl.html#FormatOption-enum">DirectRendering</a> and <a href="qgl.html#FormatOption-enum">IndirectRendering</a>, etc.
+<p> The <em>plane</em> parameter defaults to 0 and is the plane which this
+format should be associated with. Not all OpenGL implmentations
+supports overlay/underlay rendering planes.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#defaultFormat">defaultFormat</a>() and <a href="#setOption">setOption</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="accum"></a>QGLFormat::accum () const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns TRUE if the accumulation buffer is enabled; otherwise
+returns FALSE. The accumulation buffer is disabled by default.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setAccum">setAccum</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="alpha"></a>QGLFormat::alpha () const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns TRUE if the alpha channel of the framebuffer is enabled;
+otherwise returns FALSE. The alpha channel is disabled by default.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setAlpha">setAlpha</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn><a href="qglformat.html">QGLFormat</a> <a name="defaultFormat"></a>QGLFormat::defaultFormat ()<tt> [static]</tt>
+</h3>
+Returns the default QGLFormat for the application. All QGLWidgets
+that are created use this format unless another format is
+specified, e.g. when they are constructed.
+<p> If no special default format has been set using
+<a href="#setDefaultFormat">setDefaultFormat</a>(), the default format is the same as that created
+with QGLFormat().
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setDefaultFormat">setDefaultFormat</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn><a href="qglformat.html">QGLFormat</a> <a name="defaultOverlayFormat"></a>QGLFormat::defaultOverlayFormat ()<tt> [static]</tt>
+</h3>
+Returns the default QGLFormat for overlay contexts.
+<p> The factory default overlay format is:
+<ul>
+<li> <a href="#setDoubleBuffer">Double buffer:</a> Disabled.
+<li> <a href="#setDepth">Depth buffer:</a> Disabled.
+<li> <a href="#setRgba">RGBA:</a> Disabled (i.e., color index enabled).

+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="depth"></a>QGLFormat::depth () const

+
+<p> Returns TRUE if the depth buffer is enabled; otherwise returns
+FALSE. The depth buffer is enabled by default.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setDepth">setDepth</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="directRendering"></a>QGLFormat::directRendering () const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns TRUE if direct rendering is enabled; otherwise returns
+FALSE.
+<p> Direct rendering is enabled by default.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setDirectRendering">setDirectRendering</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="doubleBuffer"></a>QGLFormat::doubleBuffer () const

+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="hasOpenGL"></a>QGLFormat::hasOpenGL ()<tt> [static]</tt>
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns TRUE if the window system has any OpenGL support;
+otherwise returns FALSE.
+<p> <b>Warning:</b> This function must not be called until the <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a>
+object has been created.
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="hasOpenGLOverlays"></a>QGLFormat::hasOpenGLOverlays ()<tt> [static]</tt>
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns TRUE if the window system supports OpenGL overlays;
+otherwise returns FALSE.
+<p> <b>Warning:</b> This function must not be called until the <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a>
+object has been created.
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="hasOverlay"></a>QGLFormat::hasOverlay () const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns TRUE if overlay plane is enabled; otherwise returns FALSE.
+<p> Overlay is disabled by default.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setOverlay">setOverlay</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>int <a name="plane"></a>QGLFormat::plane () const
+</h3>
+Returns the plane of this format. The default for normal formats
+is 0, which means the normal plane. The default for overlay
+formats is 1, which is the first overlay plane.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setPlane">setPlane</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="rgba"></a>QGLFormat::rgba () const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns TRUE if RGBA color mode is set. Returns FALSE if color
+index mode is set. The default color mode is RGBA.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setRgba">setRgba</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setAccum"></a>QGLFormat::setAccum ( bool&nbsp;enable )
+</h3>
+If <em>enable</em> is TRUE enables the accumulation buffer; otherwise
+disables the accumulation buffer.
+<p> The accumulation buffer is disabled by default.
+<p> The accumulation buffer is used to create blur effects and
+multiple exposures.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#accum">accum</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setAlpha"></a>QGLFormat::setAlpha ( bool&nbsp;enable )
+</h3>
+If <em>enable</em> is TRUE enables the alpha channel; otherwise disables
+the alpha channel.
+<p> The alpha buffer is disabled by default.
+<p> The alpha channel is typically used for implementing transparency
+or translucency. The A in RGBA specifies the transparency of a
+pixel.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#alpha">alpha</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setDefaultFormat"></a>QGLFormat::setDefaultFormat ( const&nbsp;<a href="qglformat.html">QGLFormat</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;f )<tt> [static]</tt>
+</h3>
+Sets a new default QGLFormat for the application to <em>f</em>. For
+example, to set single buffering as the default instead of double
+buffering, your main() might contain code like this:
+<pre>
+ <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a> a(argc, argv);
+ QGLFormat f;
+ f.<a href="#setDoubleBuffer">setDoubleBuffer</a>( FALSE );
+ QGLFormat::<a href="#setDefaultFormat">setDefaultFormat</a>( f );
+ </pre>
+
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#defaultFormat">defaultFormat</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setDefaultOverlayFormat"></a>QGLFormat::setDefaultOverlayFormat ( const&nbsp;<a href="qglformat.html">QGLFormat</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;f )<tt> [static]</tt>
+</h3>
+Sets a new default QGLFormat for overlay contexts to <em>f</em>. This
+format is used whenever a <a href="qglwidget.html">QGLWidget</a> is created with a format that
+<a href="#hasOverlay">hasOverlay</a>() enabled.
+<p> For example, to get a double buffered overlay context (if
+available), use code like this:
+<p> <pre>
+ QGLFormat f = QGLFormat::<a href="#defaultOverlayFormat">defaultOverlayFormat</a>();
+ f.<a href="#setDoubleBuffer">setDoubleBuffer</a>( TRUE );
+ QGLFormat::<a href="#setDefaultOverlayFormat">setDefaultOverlayFormat</a>( f );
+ </pre>
+
+<p> As usual, you can find out after widget creation whether the
+underlying OpenGL system was able to provide the requested
+specification:
+<p> <pre>
+ // ...continued from above
+ MyGLWidget* myWidget = new MyGLWidget( <a href="#QGLFormat">QGLFormat</a>( QGL::<a href="qgl.html#FormatOption-enum">HasOverlay</a> ), ... );
+ if ( myWidget-&gt;format().hasOverlay() ) {
+ // Yes, we got an overlay, let's check _its_ format:
+ <a href="qglcontext.html">QGLContext</a>* olContext = myWidget-&gt;overlayContext();
+ if ( olContext-&gt;<a href="qglcontext.html#format">format</a>().doubleBuffer() )
+ ; // yes, we got a double buffered overlay
+ else
+ ; // no, only single buffered overlays are available
+ }
+ </pre>
+
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#defaultOverlayFormat">defaultOverlayFormat</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setDepth"></a>QGLFormat::setDepth ( bool&nbsp;enable )
+</h3>
+If <em>enable</em> is TRUE enables the depth buffer; otherwise disables
+the depth buffer.
+<p> The depth buffer is enabled by default.
+<p> The purpose of a depth buffer (or Z-buffering) is to remove hidden
+surfaces. Pixels are assigned Z values based on the distance to
+the viewer. A pixel with a high Z value is closer to the viewer
+than a pixel with a low Z value. This information is used to
+decide whether to draw a pixel or not.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#depth">depth</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setDirectRendering"></a>QGLFormat::setDirectRendering ( bool&nbsp;enable )
+</h3>
+If <em>enable</em> is TRUE enables direct rendering; otherwise disables
+direct rendering.
+<p> Direct rendering is enabled by default.
+<p> Enabling this option will make OpenGL bypass the underlying window
+system and render directly from hardware to the screen, if this is
+supported by the system.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#directRendering">directRendering</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setDoubleBuffer"></a>QGLFormat::setDoubleBuffer ( bool&nbsp;enable )
+</h3>
+If <em>enable</em> is TRUE sets double buffering; otherwise sets single
+buffering.
+<p> Double buffering is enabled by default.
+<p> Double buffering is a technique where graphics are rendered on an
+off-screen buffer and not directly to the screen. When the drawing
+has been completed, the program calls a swapBuffers() function to
+exchange the screen contents with the buffer. The result is
+flicker-free drawing and often better performance.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#doubleBuffer">doubleBuffer</a>(), <a href="qglcontext.html#swapBuffers">QGLContext::swapBuffers</a>(), and <a href="qglwidget.html#swapBuffers">QGLWidget::swapBuffers</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setOption"></a>QGLFormat::setOption ( <a href="qgl.html#FormatOption-enum">FormatOption</a>&nbsp;opt )
+</h3>
+Sets the format option to <em>opt</em>.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#testOption">testOption</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setOverlay"></a>QGLFormat::setOverlay ( bool&nbsp;enable )
+</h3>
+If <em>enable</em> is TRUE enables an overlay plane; otherwise disables
+the overlay plane.
+<p> Enabling the overlay plane will cause <a href="qglwidget.html">QGLWidget</a> to create an
+additional context in an overlay plane. See the QGLWidget
+documentation for further information.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#hasOverlay">hasOverlay</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setPlane"></a>QGLFormat::setPlane ( int&nbsp;plane )
+</h3>
+Sets the requested plane to <em>plane</em>. 0 is the normal plane, 1 is
+the first overlay plane, 2 is the second overlay plane, etc.; -1,
+-2, etc. are underlay planes.
+<p> Note that in contrast to other format specifications, the plane
+specifications will be matched exactly. This means that if you
+specify a plane that the underlying OpenGL system cannot provide,
+an <a href="qglwidget.html#isValid">invalid</a> <a href="qglwidget.html">QGLWidget</a> will be
+created.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#plane">plane</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setRgba"></a>QGLFormat::setRgba ( bool&nbsp;enable )
+</h3>
+If <em>enable</em> is TRUE sets RGBA mode. If <em>enable</em> is FALSE sets
+color index mode.
+<p> The default color mode is RGBA.
+<p> RGBA is the preferred mode for most OpenGL applications. In RGBA
+color mode you specify colors as red + green + blue + alpha
+quadruplets.
+<p> In color index mode you specify an index into a color lookup
+table.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#rgba">rgba</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setStencil"></a>QGLFormat::setStencil ( bool&nbsp;enable )
+</h3>
+If <em>enable</em> is TRUE enables the stencil buffer; otherwise
+disables the stencil buffer.
+<p> The stencil buffer is disabled by default.
+<p> The stencil buffer masks certain parts of the drawing area so that
+masked parts are not drawn on.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#stencil">stencil</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setStereo"></a>QGLFormat::setStereo ( bool&nbsp;enable )
+</h3>
+If <em>enable</em> is TRUE enables stereo buffering; otherwise disables
+stereo buffering.
+<p> Stereo buffering is disabled by default.
+<p> Stereo buffering provides extra color buffers to generate left-eye
+and right-eye images.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#stereo">stereo</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="stencil"></a>QGLFormat::stencil () const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns TRUE if the stencil buffer is enabled; otherwise returns
+FALSE. The stencil buffer is disabled by default.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setStencil">setStencil</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="stereo"></a>QGLFormat::stereo () const
+</h3>
+
+<p> Returns TRUE if stereo buffering is enabled; otherwise returns

+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="testOption"></a>QGLFormat::testOption ( <a href="qgl.html#FormatOption-enum">FormatOption</a>&nbsp;opt ) const
