Detailed Description▲
To make the content of textures available for read and write operations in a shader, they need to exposed as QShaderImage. Textures can be composed of several mip levels, layers and faces. Additionally declaring a QShaderImage allows specifying which level, layer or face of the texture content we want to access.
QShaderImage has to be assigned as a QParameter's value and reference a valid Qt3DRender::QAbstractTexture to work properly.
If the referenced texture is a one-dimensional array, two-dimensional array, three-dimensional, cube map, cube map array, or two-dimensional multisample array texture, it is possible to bind either the entire texture level or a single layer or face of the texture level. This can be controlled with the layered property.
Support for QShaderImage is only supported with OpenGL 4 and partially with OpenGL ES 3.1 and 3.2.

Property Documentation▲
access : Access▲
Specifies the type of access we want to allow from our shader instances to the image. If a shader tries to write or read from an image that has incompatible access, the behavior is undefined.
The default value is QShaderImage::ReadWrite.
Access functions:
-
access() const
-
void setAccess( access)
Notifier signal:
-
void accessChanged( access)
format : ImageFormat▲
Specifies the image format, which is essentially important when storing values in the Image from a shader.
The format doesn't have to be the same as the referenced texture's format. It however has to be compatible (matching in size but not necessarily by class type). For instance a texture of format R32F (size 32bits, class 1x32) could be used with an image of format RGBA8I (size 32bits, class 4x8). Table 8.27 of the OpenGL specifications shows the size and class for all supported Image formats.
By default Qt3D will try to set the image format to match that of the referenced texture.
The default value is QShaderImage::Automatic.
Access functions:
-
format() const
-
void setFormat( format)
Notifier signal:
-
void formatChanged( format)
layer : int▲
Holds which layer out of the referenced texture should be used for the QShaderImage. This property does nothing if layered is set to true or if the reference texture's type isn't compatible with layers.
When the referenced texture is of type cube map or cube map array and ĺayered is set to false, the face and layer are retrieved in the following manner:
cubeMapLayer = layer / 6
cubeMapFace = layer - (cubeMapLayer * 6)The default value is 0.
Access functions:
-
int layer() const
-
void setLayer(int layer)
Notifier signal:
-
void layerChanged(int layer)
layered : bool▲
*
If set to true, if the referenced texture is a one-dimensional array, two-dimensional array, three-dimensional, cube map, cube map array, or two-dimensional multisample array texture, the entire level will be bound for all layers. If set to false, only the single layer specified by the layer property will be bound.
The default value is false.
Access functions:
-
bool layered() const
-
void setLayered(bool layered)
Notifier signal:
-
void layeredChanged(bool layered)
mipLevel : int▲
Holds which mipLevel out of the referenced texture should be used for the QShaderImage.
The default value is 0.
Access functions:
-
int mipLevel() const
-
void setMipLevel(int mipLevel)
Notifier signal:
-
void mipLevelChanged(int mipLevel)
