Returns the PFD associated with this visualInfo.

bool SoGLFormat::hasAccumBuffer (  )  const

Returns true if this format has an accumulation buffer.

bool SoGLFormat::hasAlpha (  )  const

Returns true if this format has an alpha channel.

bool SoGLFormat::hasDepth (  )  const

Returns true if this format has a depth buffer.

bool SoGLFormat::hasDoubleBuffers (  )  const

Returns true if this format is double buffered.

bool SoGLFormat::hasFloatColorBuffer (  )  const

Returns true if this format has a float color buffer.

SoDEPRECATED bool SoGLFormat::hasOverlay (  )  const

Returns true if this format has an overlay plane.

Deprecated:

Deprecated since Open Inventor 9610
Overlay feature is legacy, and no longer makes sense with current hardware.
bool SoGLFormat::hasRgb (  )  const

Returns true if this format is RGB.

bool SoGLFormat::hasSampleBuffers (  )  const

Returns true if this format has sample buffers.

bool SoGLFormat::hasStencilBuffer (  )  const

Returns true if this format has a stencil buffer.

bool SoGLFormat::hasStereo (  )  const

Returns true if this format has stereo.

bool SoGLFormat::isAccelerationRequired (  )  const

Returns TRUE if hardware acceleration support is required for this pixel format.

bool SoGLFormat::isAvailable (  )  const

Returns true if this format is available on the system.


The display must be valid (see the setDisplay() function).

bool SoGLFormat::isCompositionRequired (  )  const

Returns true if composition is required for this pixel format.

bool SoGLFormat::isGDISupportRequired (  )  const

Returns true if GDI support is required for this pixel format.

bool SoGLFormat::isSoftwareRendererRequired (  )  const

Returns true if the software renderer is required for this format.

SoGLFormat& SoGLFormat::operator= ( const SoGLFormat ref  ) 

Operator = to copy the data.

void SoGLFormat::setAccelerationRequired ( const bool  enable  ) 

Sets the hardware acceleration support requirement of this pixel format.

void SoGLFormat::setAccumBufferBits ( const int  size  ) 

Sets the accumulation buffer bits of this format.

void SoGLFormat::setAccumBufferEnabled ( const bool  enabled  ) 

Sets the accumulation buffer state of this format.

void SoGLFormat::setAlphaBits ( int  bits  ) 
void SoGLFormat::setAlphaEnabled ( const bool  enable  ) 

Sets the alpha channel state of this format.

void SoGLFormat::setBlueBits ( int  bits  ) 
void SoGLFormat::setCompositionRequired ( const bool  required  ) 

Sets the composition requirement of the pixel format.


This requirement is ignored on non-Microsoft platforms and on Windows platforms before Windows Vista. Requiring composition will automatically disable GDI support for this format (this is a Microsoft limitation).

Note: If both setCompositionRequired() and setGDISupportRequired() are set OpenInventor will try to choose a pixel format with composition support.

The default value is false but can be overridden using the OIV_PFD_SUPPORT_COMPOSITION preference (see SoPreferences).

void SoGLFormat::setDepthBits ( const int  bits  ) 

Sets the depth buffer bits of this format.

void SoGLFormat::setDepthEnabled ( const bool  enable  ) 

Sets the depth buffer state of this format.

void SoGLFormat::setDisplay ( const SbGlContextHelper::Display display  ) 

Sets the display associated with this format.

void SoGLFormat::setDoubleBuffersEnabled ( const bool  enabled  ) 

Sets the double buffering state of this format.

void SoGLFormat::setFloatColorBufferEnabled ( const bool  enable  ) 

Sets the Float color buffer state of this format.

void SoGLFormat::setGDISupportRequired ( const bool  required  ) 

Sets the GDI support requirement of the pixel format.


This requirement is ignored on non-Microsoft platforms.

Note: If both setCompositionRequired() and setGDISupportRequired() are set OpenInventor will try to choose a pixel format with composition support.

The default value is true but setting composition required to true automatically disables GDI support.

void SoGLFormat::setGreenBits ( int  bits  ) 
void SoGLFormat::setOpenglAttributes ( const SbGlContextHelper::Display display,
int  pfd,
int *  attributes,
int *  results 
)

Sets the format according to the openGL attributes.

SoDEPRECATED void SoGLFormat::setOverlayEnabled ( const bool  enabled  ) 

Sets the overlay state of this format.

Deprecated:

Deprecated since Open Inventor 9610
Overlay feature is legacy, and no longer makes sense with current hardware.
SoDEPRECATED void SoGLFormat::setPlane ( const int  plane  ) 

Sets the plane of this format.

The plane parameter indicates the OpenGL plane on which the format applies. Plane 0 is the main OpenGL plane, a negative value indicates an underlay plane, while a positive value indicates an overlay plane.

By default the plane is set to the main plane.

Deprecated:

Deprecated since Open Inventor 9610
Overlay feature is legacy, and no longer makes sense with current hardware.
void SoGLFormat::setRedBits ( int  bits  ) 
void SoGLFormat::setRgbEnabled ( const bool  enabled  ) 

Sets the RGB state of this format.

void SoGLFormat::setSampleBuffersEnabled ( const bool  enable  ) 

Sets the sample buffers state of this format.

void SoGLFormat::setSamplesCount ( const int  countSamples  ) 

Sets the samples count of this format.

void SoGLFormat::setSoftwareRendererRequired ( const bool  enable  ) 

Specified that a software renderer is required for this format.

This option is set to false by default. If this option is set to true it overrides setAccelerationRequired().
Note: This method is only implemented on Microsoft platforms in order to use the generic renderer provided by Microsoft.
Note: This option is currently checked only by the QtViewer classes (to switch on or off direct rendering).

void SoGLFormat::setStencilBufferBits ( const int  size  ) 

Sets the stencil buffer bits of this format.

void SoGLFormat::setStencilBufferEnabled ( const bool  enabled  ) 

Sets the stencil buffer state of this format.

void SoGLFormat::setStereoEnabled ( const bool  enable  ) 

Sets the stereo state of this format.

void SoGLFormat::setVisualInfo ( const SbGlContextHelper::VisualInfo visualInfo  ) 

Sets the visual info associated with this format.

Note: A valid Display must be set using the function setDisplay() before calling this function. On some platforms the display is needed in order to parse the options stored in the visualInfo.

void SoGLFormat::setVisualInfoId ( const int  viId  ) 

Sets the PFD id associated with this visualInfo.
