    Question QGLWidget render or QGraphicsView with GL viewport render

    Hi,

    What would be the most effective method of using Qt + OpenGL in terms of render speed, embedding overlays (UI), memory (if there are issues whatsoever) and any other criteria?

    Method 1: Render through QGLWidget
    Method 2: Render through QGraphicsView QGraphicsScene viewport(QGLWidget)

    Thanks,

    QTInfinity

    I don't think there's will be any difference in render part, speed should be the same. Regarding what to choose you should decide which widget better fits your needs. QGraphicsScene allows easy embedding anything inside it (see Embedded Dialogs demo).
