• def compileSourceFile (fileName)

• def isCompiled ()

• def log ()

• def shaderId ()

Static functions

• def hasOpenGLShaders (type[, context=None])

Detailed Description

This class supports shaders written in the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) and in the OpenGL/ES Shading Language (GLSL/ES).

QOpenGLShader and QOpenGLShaderProgram shelter the programmer from the details of compiling and linking vertex and fragment shaders.

QOpenGLShaderProgram

class PySide6.QtOpenGL.QOpenGLShader(type[, parent=None])

Parameters

• type – ShaderType

• parent – PySide6.QtCore.QObject

Constructs a new QOpenGLShader object of the specified type and attaches it to parent. If shader programs are not supported, hasOpenGLShaderPrograms() will return false.

This constructor is normally followed by a call to compileSourceCode() or compileSourceFile() .

The shader will be associated with the current QOpenGLContext .

PySide6.QtOpenGL.QOpenGLShader.compileSourceCode(source)

Parameters

source – PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray

Return type

bool

This is an overloaded function.

Sets the source code for this shader and compiles it. Returns true if the source was successfully compiled, false otherwise.

compileSourceFile()

PySide6.QtOpenGL.QOpenGLShader.compileSourceCode(source)

Parameters

source – str

Return type

bool

This is an overloaded function.

Sets the source code for this shader and compiles it. Returns true if the source was successfully compiled, false otherwise.

compileSourceFile()

PySide6.QtOpenGL.QOpenGLShader.compileSourceCode(source)

Parameters

source – str

Return type

bool

Sets the source code for this shader and compiles it. Returns true if the source was successfully compiled, false otherwise.

compileSourceFile()

PySide6.QtOpenGL.QOpenGLShader.compileSourceFile(fileName)

Parameters

fileName – str

Return type

bool

Sets the source code for this shader to the contents of fileName and compiles it. Returns true if the file could be opened and the source compiled, false otherwise.

compileSourceCode()

static PySide6.QtOpenGL.QOpenGLShader.hasOpenGLShaders(type[, context=None])

Parameters

• type – ShaderType

• context – PySide6.QtGui.QOpenGLContext

Return type

bool

Returns true if shader programs of type type are supported on this system; false otherwise.

The context is used to resolve the GLSL extensions. If context is None, then currentContext() is used.

PySide6.QtOpenGL.QOpenGLShader.isCompiled()

Return type

bool

Returns true if this shader has been compiled; false otherwise.
