QOpenGLShader Class

The QOpenGLShader class allows OpenGL shaders to be compiled. More...

This class was introduced in Qt 5.0.

Public Types

enum	ShaderTypeBit { Vertex, Fragment, Geometry, TessellationControl, TessellationEvaluation, Compute }

This class supports shaders written in the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) and in the OpenGL/ES Shading Language (GLSL/ES).

QOpenGLShader and QOpenGLShaderProgram shelter the programmer from the details of compiling and linking vertex and fragment shaders.

See also QOpenGLShaderProgram.

This enum specifies the type of QOpenGLShader that is being created.
