Graphics

• An interface between the platform window system and rendering APIs such as OpenGL and OpenVG
• Makes it possible to use several rendering APIs together
• Can be used for accelerated mixed-mode 2D and 3D rendering

Example use: Use in your application to enable mixed-mode rendering.

• A low-level API for producing hardware-accelerated 2D and 3D graphics
• Defined relative to the OpenGL® 1.5 specification
• Provides performance improving optimisations that also reduce memory bandwidth usage in order to save power
• Use OpenGL ES 1.1 to maximise portability to a large number of devices

Example use: Use for creating 3D graphics in your application

• The current and improved version of OpenGL® ES
• Defined relative to the OpenGL® 2.0 specification
• Features a programmable 3D graphics pipeline
• Use OpenGL ES 2.0 to achieve maximum performance with the programmable hardware

Example use: Use for creating 3D graphics in your application

• Adds to Qt an OpenGL ES 2.0 interface with specific functionalities to aid in game development and game porting.

Example use: Use in your Qt application to enable easier integration of OpenGL® 3D graphics

• Allows Qt applications to use the OpenGL® APIs to create hardware-accelerated 2D and 3D graphics
• The base of OpenGL® in Qt is the QGLWidget class, which creates a display buffer for rendering OpenGL® objects

Example use: Use in your Qt application to enable easier integration of OpenGL® 3D graphics
