Detailed Description
The QWaylandCompositor manages the connections to the clients, as well as the different outputs and seats.
Normally, a compositor application will have a single WaylandCompositor instance, which can have several outputs as children.
Property Documentation
[since 6.0] additionalShmFormats : QVector<ShmFormat>
This property holds the list of additional wl_shm formats advertised as supported by the compositor.
By default, only the required ShmFormat_ARGB8888 and ShmFormat_XRGB8888 are listed and this list will empty.
This property must be set before the compositor is created. Subsequent changes will have no effect.
This property was introduced in Qt 6.0.
Access functions:
| QVector<QWaylandCompositor::ShmFormat> | additionalShmFormats() const |
| void | setAdditionalShmFormats(const QVector<QWaylandCompositor::ShmFormat> &additionalShmFormats) |
Notifier signal:
| void | additionalShmFormatsChanged() |
[read-only] created : const bool
This property is true if QWaylandCompositor has been initialized, otherwise it's false.
Access functions:
| bool | isCreated() const |
Notifier signal:
| void | createdChanged() |
defaultOutput : QWaylandOutput*
This property contains the first in the list of outputs added to the QWaylandCompositor, or null if no outputs have been added.
Setting a new default output prepends it to the output list, making it the new default, but the previous default is not removed from the list. If the new default output was already in the list of outputs, it is moved to the beginning of the list.
Access functions:
| QWaylandOutput * | defaultOutput() const |
| void | setDefaultOutput(QWaylandOutput *output) |
Notifier signal:
| void | defaultOutputChanged() |
[read-only] defaultSeat : QWaylandSeat* const
This property contains the default seat for this QWaylandCompositor.
Access functions:
| QWaylandSeat * | defaultSeat() const |
Notifier signal:
| void | defaultSeatChanged(QWaylandSeat *newDevice, QWaylandSeat *oldDevice) |
retainedSelection : bool
This property holds whether retained selection is enabled.
Access functions:
| bool | retainedSelectionEnabled() const |
| void | setRetainedSelectionEnabled(bool enabled) |
Notifier signal:
| void | retainedSelectionChanged(bool retainedSelection) |
socketName : QByteArray
This property holds the socket name used by QWaylandCompositor to communicate with clients. This must be set before the QWaylandCompositor is created.
If the socketName is empty (the default), the contents of the start argument --wayland-socket-name are used instead. If the argument is not set, the compositor tries to find a socket name, which is wayland-0 by default.
Access functions:
| QByteArray | socketName() const |
| void | setSocketName(const QByteArray &name) |
Notifier signal:
| void | socketNameChanged(const QByteArray &socketName) |
useHardwareIntegrationExtension : bool
This property holds whether the hardware integration extension should be enabled for this QWaylandCompositor.
This property must be set before the compositor is created.
Access functions:
| bool | useHardwareIntegrationExtension() const |
| void | setUseHardwareIntegrationExtension(bool use) |
Notifier signal:
| void | useHardwareIntegrationExtensionChanged() |
Member Function Documentation
QWaylandCompositor::QWaylandCompositor(QObject *parent = nullptr)
Constructs a QWaylandCompositor with the given parent.
[override virtual noexcept] QWaylandCompositor::~QWaylandCompositor()
Destroys the QWaylandCompositor
[invokable] void QWaylandCompositor::addSocketDescriptor(int fd)
Listen for client connections on a file descriptor, fd, referring to a server socket already bound and listening.
Does not take ownership of the file descriptor; it must be closed explicitly if needed.
Note: This method is only available with libwayland 1.10.0 or newer. If built against an earlier libwayland runtime, this method is a noop.
Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
[virtual] void QWaylandCompositor::create()
Initializes the QWaylandCompositor. If you override this function in your subclass, be sure to call the base class implementation.
[invokable] void QWaylandCompositor::destroyClient(QWaylandClient *client)
Destroys the client.
Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
[invokable] void QWaylandCompositor::destroyClientForSurface(QWaylandSurface *surface)
Destroys the client for the surface.
Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
[virtual] void QWaylandCompositor::grabSurface(QWaylandSurfaceGrabber *grabber, const QWaylandBufferRef &buffer)
Grab the surface content from the given buffer. The default implementation requires a OpenGL context to be bound to the current thread to work. If this is not possible, reimplement this function in your compositor subclass to implement custom logic. The default implementation only grabs shared memory and OpenGL buffers, reimplement this in your compositor subclass to handle more buffer types.
Note: You should not call this manually, but rather use QWaylandSurfaceGrabber (grabber).
[invokable] QWaylandOutput *QWaylandCompositor::outputFor(QWindow *window) const
Returns the QWaylandOutput that is connected to the given window.
Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
QWaylandSeat *QWaylandCompositor::seatFor(QInputEvent *inputEvent)
Select the seat for a given input event inputEvent. Currently, Qt only supports a single seat.
[signal] void QWaylandCompositor::surfaceCreated(QWaylandSurface *surface)
This signal is emitted when a new QWaylandSurface instance surface has been created.
[signal] void QWaylandCompositor::surfaceRequested(QWaylandClient *client, uint id, int version)
This signal is emitted when a client has created a surface with id id. The interface version is also available.
The slot connecting to this signal may create and initialize a QWaylandSurface instance in the scope of the slot. Otherwise a default surface is created.
Connections to this signal must be of Qt::DirectConnection connection type.
