Detailed Description

The QWaylandView corresponds to the presentation of a surface on a specific output, managing the buffers that contain the contents to be rendered. You can have several views into the same surface.

Property Documentation

allowDiscardFrontBuffer : bool

By default, the view locks the current buffer until advance() is called. Set this property to true to allow Qt to release the buffer when the primary view is no longer using it.

This can be used to avoid the situation where a secondary view that updates on a lower frequency will throttle the frame rate of the client application.

Access functions:

bool allowDiscardFrontBuffer() const
void setAllowDiscardFrontBuffer(bool discard)

Notifier signal:

void allowDiscardFrontBufferChanged()

bufferLocked : bool

This property holds whether the view's buffer is currently locked. When the buffer is locked, advance() will not advance to the next buffer and returns false.

The default is false.

Access functions:

bool isBufferLocked() const
void setBufferLocked(bool locked)

Notifier signal:

void bufferLockedChanged()

output : QWaylandOutput*

This property holds the output on which this view displays its surface.

Access functions:

QWaylandOutput *output() const
void setOutput(QWaylandOutput *output)

Notifier signal:

void outputChanged()

surface : QWaylandSurface*

This property holds the surface viewed by this QWaylandView.

Access functions:

QWaylandSurface *surface() const
void setSurface(QWaylandSurface *surface)

Notifier signal:

void surfaceChanged()
