Class Avogadro::QtOpenGL::GLWidget#

class GLWidget : public QOpenGLWidget#

QOpenGLGLWidget derived object for displaying 3D molecular geometry.

This class creates the GL context, and contains a renderer to render the 3D molecular geometry.

Author: Marcus D. Hanwell

The GLWidget also manages a collection of ToolPlugins that are used to respond to user input events. Use setTools() or addTool() to add tools to the widget. Use setActiveTool() to indicate which tool is active. The active tool will be given the opportunity to handle input events first. If the active tool does not handle the event, the default tool will be used. If the default tool also ignores the event, it will be passed to QOpenGLWidget’s handlers.

Unnamed Group

QtGui::Molecule *molecule()#: Get the molecule being rendered by the widget.

const QtGui::Molecule *molecule() const#: Get the molecule being rendered by the widget.

Unnamed Group

inline QtGui::ScenePluginModel &sceneModel()#: Get the GLWidget’s ScenePluginModel, used to add, delete and modify the scene plugin items.

inline const QtGui::ScenePluginModel &sceneModel() const#: Get the GLWidget’s ScenePluginModel, used to add, delete and modify the scene plugin items.

Unnamed Group

void setActiveTool(const QString &name)#: Set the active tool. This is the tool that will be used to handle input events first.

void setActiveTool(QtGui::ToolPlugin *tool)#: Set the active tool. This is the tool that will be used to handle input events first.

Unnamed Group

void setDefaultTool(const QString &name)#: Set the default tool. This is the tool that will be used to handle input events that are ignored by the active tool.

void setDefaultTool(QtGui::ToolPlugin *tool)#: Set the default tool. This is the tool that will be used to handle input events that are ignored by the active tool.

Public Functions

explicit GLWidget(QWidget *parent = nullptr)#

~GLWidget() override#

void setMolecule(QtGui::Molecule *molecule)#: Set the molecule the widget will render.

inline Rendering::GLRenderer &renderer()#: Get a reference to the renderer for the widget.

inline QList<QtGui::ToolPlugin*> tools() const#

Returns:: A list of the ToolPlugins owned by the GLWidget.

inline QtGui::ToolPlugin *activeTool() const#

Returns:: The active tool.

inline QtGui::ToolPlugin *defaultTool() const#

Returns:: The default tool.

inline bool isValid() const#

Check if the GLWidget was able to acquire a context, and set up the renderer correctly. If not valid, the error method may provide more information.

Returns:: true if value, false if not.

inline QString error() const#

Get the error(s), if any, encountered when setting up the GLWidget.

Returns:: A free form string containing errors encountered.

Public Slots

void updateScene()#: Update the scene plugins for the widget, this will generate geometry in the scene etc.

void clearScene()#: Clear the contents of the scene.

void resetCamera()#: Reset the view to fit the entire scene.

void resetGeometry()#: Reset the geometry when the molecule etc changes.

void setTools(const QList<QtGui::ToolPlugin*> &toolList)#: Make the tools in toolList available to the GLWidget. The GLWidget takes ownership of the tools.

void addTool(QtGui::ToolPlugin *tool)#: Make tool available to the GLWidget. The GLWidget takes ownership of the tool.

void requestUpdate()#: Request an update, this will by default initiate a timer that will trigger in a specified time, enabling us to compress multiple events such as camera moves to maintain interactivity.

Signals

void rendererInvalid()#

Protected Functions

void initializeGL() override#: This is where the GL context is initialized.

void resizeGL(int width, int height) override#: Take care of resizing the context.

void paintGL() override#: Main entry point for all GL rendering.

Protected Slots

void updateTimeout()#: Perform the update of the render, this should only be called by the timer.
