Changes to Qt Quick

Qt 6 是努力使框架更高效，且更易于使用的结果。

为兼容每个发行的所有公共 API，我们试着维护二进制和源代码。但是，为使 Qt 成为更优框架，一些改变是不可避免的。

In this topic we summarize those changes in Qt Quick, and provide guidance to handle them.

Changes to Qt Quick QML Types

Changed Type of font.weight

The type of font.weight has been changed to int . The pre-defined weight classes still exist, but it is now possible to use arbitrary integers to select fonts which do not match any of these weight classes. This ensures parity with the C++ API, where it has always been possible to express the font weight as an arbitrary integer.

Most code will be unaffected by this change, except in the case where an implicit conversion from a string to enum value was used.

font.weight: "Bold"

This code will no longer parse correctly and has to be replaced by its equivalent enum value, as demonstrated below.

font.weight: Font.Bold

FontLoader.name Is Now a Read-Only Property

In Qt 5, the 名称 property of FontLoader was writable and would override the source property of the item when set. This caused some confusion as to its purpose and could cause undeterministic behavior if there was a race condition between the setters for the conflicting properties.

This means that code such as the following will no longer work.

FontLoader {
    id: fontLoader
    name: "Helvetica"
}
Text {
    font.family: fontLoader.name
    text: "Foobar"
}

Instead, use a custom property to store font family names.

property string fontName: "Helvetica"
Text {
    font.family: fontName
    text: "Foobar"
}

The OpenGLInfo QML Type Is Removed

In Qt 5.8, OpenGLInfo was deprecated and is removed for Qt 6. Please use GraphicsInfo 代替。

ShaderEffect No Longer Supports Inline GLSL Shader Strings

Just like with custom materials , the effects are no longer specified in form of GLSL shader strings. Rather, shaders are expected to be preprocessed by the tools from the Qt Shader Tools module, such as the qsb command line tool, thus ensuring the shader assets are usable regardless of which graphics API (Vulkan, Metal, OpenGL, or Direct 3D) is used at runtime. ShaderEffect items are expected to reference the resulting .qsb 文件。

ShaderEffect Source Properties Are Now URLs

ShaderEffect properties vertexShader and fragmentShader both have a type of QUrl now, instead of QByteArray . Their behavior is therefore identical to other similar properties, such as Image.source . Existing code that refers to files via the file or qrc scheme will continue to work as-is. In addition, this change allows referring to files with a path relative to the component's (the .qml file's) location. Specifying the 文件： scheme is therefore optional now.

Changes to Qt Quick C++ APIs

Changes to QQuickItem

QQuickItem 's geometryChanged() function was renamed to geometryChange() .

Changes to QQuickWidget

QQuickWidget is functional only when the scenegraph is rendering with OpenGL. It will not be functional when using another graphics API, such as Vulkan or Metal. Applications relying on QQuickWidget should force the usage of OpenGL by calling QQuickWindow::setGraphicsApi(QSGRendererInterface::OpenGLRhi) in their main() function.

Changes to QQuick* APIs

Applications wishing to integrate their own set of Vulkan, Metal, or Direct3D rendering commands should be aware of new QQuickWindow signals in addition to QQuickWindow::beforeRendering () and afterRendering(). The existing Qt 5 pattern of connecting to just beforeRendering or afterRendering is often not sufficient anymore on its own, and will likely need to be complemented by connecting to additional signals, such as beforeRenderPassRecording() or afterRenderPassRecording() .
Applications that rely on the QQuickWindow::beforeRendering () or afterRendering() signals to issue their own set of OpenGL rendering commands should call QQuickWindow::beginExternalCommands () before, and QQuickWindow::endExternalCommands () after, the OpenGL calls. This ensures that state changes made by the application code does not lead to confusion with regards to the scene graph renderer's own cached state. Note however, that, just like in Qt 5, changing OpenGL 3.x or 4.x state that is not used by the Qt Quick renderer can still lead to unexpected issues, so therefore application are advised to reset any such OpenGL state to the default value before returning from the slots or lambdas connected to these signals.
The existing QQuickWindow::setRenderTarget () overloads, and the related getters, are removed and replaced by a new function taking a QQuickRenderTarget . Applications performing redirected rendering in combination with QQuickRenderControl are now expected to use this new function to specify the render target in a manner that is not tied to OpenGL.
QQuickWindow::setSceneGraphBackend () overload taking a QSGRendererInterface::GraphicsApi argument has been renamed to setGraphicsApi() .
QQuickWindow functions setPersistentOpenGLContext and isPersistentOpenGLContext are renamed, and are now QQuickWindow::setPersistentGraphics () 和 QQuickWindow::isPersistentGraphics ().
setClearBeforeRendering() and clearBeforeRendering() have been removed from QQuickWindow . There is no option for skipping the color buffer clearing in Qt 6. Calling setClearBeforeRendering() was often necessary in Qt 5 in combination with underlays, to prevent Qt Quick from clearing the content rendered into the color buffer. In Qt 6, there is a more robust approach: connecting to the beforeRenderPassRecording() signal, that is emitted after clearing, but before rendering Qt Quick's content.
The QQuickWindow::openglContext() function has been removed. When the application has ensured the scene graph is using OpenGL for rendering, it can query the QOpenGLContext from QSGRendererInterface::getResource ().
The QQuickWindow::openglContextCreated() signal has been removed.
The deprecated QQuickWindow::createTextureFromId() function has been removed. Instead, use the fromNative() function from QPlatformInterface::QSGOpenGLTexture, QPlatformInterface::QSGVulkanTexture, QPlatformInterface::QSGD3D11Texture, or QPlatformInterface::QSGMetalTexture.
QQuickFramebufferObject class is available with an unchanged API, but is only functional when the scenegraph is rendering with OpenGL. It will not be functional when using another graphics API, such as Vulkan or Metal. Applications relying on QQuickFramebufferObject should force the usage of OpenGL by calling QQuickWindow::setGraphicsApi(QSGRendererInterface::OpenGLRhi) in their main() function.
QQuickRenderControl has a slightly changed API: grab() is now removed, use QQuickWindow::grabWindow () instead, where applicable. The initialize() function no longer takes a QOpenGLContext . Applications are now also required to call QQuickRenderControl::beginFrame () 和 QQuickRenderControl::endFrame () as appropriate. When multisampling is desired, the new function QQuickRenderControl::setSamples () must be called to indicate the sample count.
Applications wishing to perform Qt Quick rendering in combination with an existing native graphics device or context object must take the new QQuickWindow::setGraphicsDevice () function into use as QQuickRenderControl no longer provides the initialize(QOpenGLContext*) 函数。
设置 QQuickPaintedItem and Context2D to Framebuffer mode has no effect. It will behave as if the mode was set to the default Image mode.
环境变量 QSG_NO_DEPTH_BUFFER is still supported in Qt 6.0, but its usage is recommended to be replaced by calling setDepthBufferFor2D() 在 QQuickGraphicsConfiguration that is then associated with the QQuickWindow .

Changes to QSG* APIs

QSGMaterialShader has a changed interface. Implementations should not rely on OpenGL anymore, and cannot assume that functions, such as the now-removed updateState(), are called with a QOpenGLContext current. In the new, data-oriented interface updateState() is replaced by updateUniformData() , updateSampledImage() ，和 updateGraphicsPipelineState() . Instead of GLSL shader code provided as strings, shaders are now expected to be preprocessed by the tools from the Qt Shader Tools module, such as the qsb command line tool, thus ensuring the shader assets are usable regardless of which graphics API (Vulkan, Metal, OpenGL, or Direct 3D) is used at run time.
QSGEngine has been removed. In the unlikely case of an application utilizing this class, it is recommended to port to using QQuickRenderControl 代替。
QSGAbstractRenderer is no longer public. The usage of this class made sense only in combination with QSGEngine, and with that class being removed QSGAbstractRenderer has been moved back to private.
The QSGSimpleMaterial convenience class has been removed. Applications are expected to use the revised, OpenGL-independent QSGMaterial APIs instead.
To access the underlying native texture object for a QSGTexture , textureId() is no longer available. Instead, use QSGTexture::platformInterface() with QPlatformInterface::QSGOpenGLTexture, QPlatformInterface::QSGVulkanTexture, QPlatformInterface::QSGD3D11Texture, or QPlatformInterface::QSGMetalTexture.
子类化的 QSGImageNode are now required to override new additional virtuals, such as setAnisotropyLevel() and anisotropyLevel().
子类化的 QSGTexture will likely need to be redesigned. Some of the OpenGL-specific virtual functions, such as bind() or updateBindOptions(), are no longer present, while there are new virtuals that are mandatory to implement, such as comparisonKey() .

Changes to OpenGL Use in Qt Quick

While it will present no breaks for many applications, application developers should be aware that, OpenGL is not always the default choice anymore for Qt Quick rendering in Qt 6. Unless the software backend is used, a Qt Quick application could use OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal, or Direct3D 11 at runtime. When no explicit request is made, either via the QSG_RHI_BACKEND environment variable or the QQuickWindow::setSceneGraphBackend () function, a platform-specific default is chosen by Qt Quick.
