iOS hardware acceleration for child widget of QGraphicsView
-
Hello!
I have a few draggable dialogue-ish popup-widgets that render slowly on iOS, for example calling QWidget::move() on them in response to mouse movements for dragging. How can I get these widgets to render with hardware acceleration on iOS? I am using QOpenGLWidget for the QGraphicsView's viewport, but how to I accelerate these child QWidgets of that QGraphicsView? Should I set an intermediate parent for the QGraphicsView itself that is a QOpenGLWidget? Or something like that?
Thank you!

Hi,
There's no hardware acceleration for QWidget as it uses the raster engine. The platform itself doesn't play any role there.

@SGaist Any suggestion how to get these widgets to perform faster? I have noticed all the widgets - list+table views for example, are slow.

What kind of widget are you using ?
For what purpose ? -
@SGaist In the attached screenshot you will see a parent QGraphicsView with a QGraphicsScene shown. It has a date label, two toolbars, and a pop-up properties dialog all implemented using QWidget.
The problem is that the performance of the QWidgets on iOS, including dragging of the pop-up dialogs and property animations for the toolbars and other widgets is not hardware accelerated. The frame rate is really slow.
I tried sticking a QOpenGLWidget as a proxy parent for the QGraphicsView, but not luck. The QGraphicsView viewport performance is already fairly good with a QOpenGLWidget for it.

@patrickkidd You could consider QML/QtQuick for your UI as it uses hardware acceleration.

@jsulm is that the intended route? Is it the only way to do it? I already have this app in beta as is on OS X, was hoping to port it to iOS. Though the QWidget versions definitely don’t look good on iOS so I would have to do some ui tweaking either way.

If I replace the property sheet shown with a QtQuick form embedded in the QWidget, will the QtQuick form be hardware accelerated?
