Qt6 and Custom QQuickItem - how to use updatePaintNode

maxwell31

Hi,
I am trying to see if I can compile my program under Qt6 beta. I have a custom QQuickItem which uses the updatePaintNode:

QSGNode *PlotCurve::updatePaintNode(QSGNode *oldNode, UpdatePaintNodeData *) {

  QSGNode * mainNode = oldNode;
  if(!mainNode) {
    mainNode = new QSGNode;
  }
  if(!_transformNode) {
    _transformNode = new QSGTransformNode;
    mainNode->appendChildNode(_transformNode);
  }

  if(!_curve) {
    _geometry->setLineWidth(_curve_width);
    _geometry->setDrawingMode(GL_LINE_STRIP);

so the above code breaks due to the GL_LINE_STRIP which it cannot find. This sounds reasonably as Qt doesn't use OpenGL directly now. How would this be done in Qt6 with their new hardware abstraction layer?

Hi,

I guess you are using a QSGGeometry so from the snapshot documentation I would say use the DrawingMode enum.

Hope it helps
