Putting QGLWidget in a thread

[khrave]

I have a QGLWidget entitled aHorizon that, when updating, renders the rest of my gui useless. So the obvious solution would be to put this widget into its own thread. However, my threading experience only includes reading data from a QUdpSocket and sending it to other parts of my program.

I will post the .cpp file that I wish to be threaded and if anyone can refer me to some examples or provide some insight, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
