    Default Exporting QGLWidget content in a vector graphics format

    Hi,

    I'm trying to export a picture drawn with OpenGL standards using QGLWidget to a vector graphics format.

    I checked the QtSvg Module which seems to be suitable for this, but there you have to draw the content using a QPainter. Unfortunately I got stuck at this point since i found no way of connecting the GL routines with the QSvgGenerator.

    Is there a way using Qt to do this?

    Default Re: Exporting QGLWidget content in a vector graphics format

    OpenGL outputs a raster (bitmap) and not a vector thus it is not possible to save the output of the GL pipeline to any vector format.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.
