+ \title Windows CE OpenGL ES
+ \ingroup qtce
+ \brief Information about support for OpenGL ES with Qt for Windows CE.
+
+ \section1 Introduction
+
+ \l {http://www.opengl.org}{OpenGL} is an industry standard API for 2D/3D
+ graphics. It provides a powerful, low-level interface between software
+ and acceleration hardware, and it is operating system and window system
+ independent.
+
+ \l {http://www.khronos.org/opengles}{OpenGL ES} is a subset of the
+ \l {http://www.opengl.org}{OpenGL} standard. It is meant for use in
+ embedded systems. Hence, it has a smaller, more constrained API.
+
+ Qt for Windows CE uses EGL 1.1 to embed OpenGL ES windows within the
+ Windows CE window manager.
+
+ To use OpenGL ES enabled widgets in a Qt for Windows CE application, you
+ only need to subclass QGLWidget and draw on instances of the subclass with
+ OpenGL ES functions.
+
+ OpenGL ES includes profiles for floating-point and fixed-point arithmetic.
+ The floating point profile is called OpenGL ES CM (Common) and the
+ fixed-point profile is called OpenGL ES CL (Common Lite).
+
+ You can run \c{configure} with the \c{-opengl-es-cm} option for the Common
+ profile or \c{-opengl-es-cl} for the Common Lite profile. In both cases,
+ ensure that the \c{lib} and \c{includes} paths include the OpenGL ES
+ headers and libararies from your SDK. The OpenGL ES lib should be called
+ either \c{libGLES_CM.lib} for the Common profile or \c{libGLES_CL.lib}
+ for the Common Lite profile.
+
+ To configure Qt for Windows Mobile 5.0 and OpenGL ES Common Lite support
+ you can run \c{configure} like this:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_wince-opengl.qdoc 0
+
+ The distinction between the Common and Common Lite profiles is important,
+ because the Common Lite profile has less functionality and only supports a
+ fixed-point vertex format.
+
+ To start programming with Qt and OpenGL ES on Windows CE, you can start
+ with the \l{Hello GL ES Example}. This example shows how to use QGLWidget
+ and QGLPainter with OpenGL ES. It also provides some hints on how to port
+ OpenGL code to OpenGL ES.
+
+ \section2 Using OpenGL to Accelerate Normal 2D Painting
+
+ Qt provides QOpenGLPaintEngine, a subclass of QPaintEngine that translates
+ QPainter operations into OpenGL calls. This is especially convenient for
+ drawing text or QImage objects in an OpenGL ES context. For further
+ details, refer to the \l{Hello GL ES Example}.
