Future plans
- Desktop OpenGL 3+ support, ES 3 support
- QOpenGLWindow
- Shared cross process graphics buffer APIs
- copy to texture
- bind to texture
- bind as framebuffer
- locking / unlocking subrectangles for SW / HW access
- synchronization
- QPA / preliminary ?
- IPC / way of exposing buffer across processes
- file descriptor
- hardware address, handle, etc
- capabilities
- page flipping to the screen
- linear formats / non-linear formats
- orthogonal to the QPA APIs? multiple buffer abstractions
- QOffscreenSurface
- texture atlas API / area allocator
- simple imperative GLES2 painter suited
for Canvas 2D etc
, lose all the poorly
/ unnecessary performing features of
QPainter - learn from Skia
- improved API that discourages slow use cases
- the problem of RGBA <-> BGRA
- new image formats?
- image upload parts of scene graph adaptation layer
- better abstraction?
- move from declarative to QPA?
- fast texture uploads
- subpixel layout
- QScreen API for accessing subpixel layout information
- QPixmap::internalImage() accessor with no deep copy?
- wrapping non
-Qt contexts in QOpenGLContext
