### Static Methods

- bool hasOpenGLShaderPrograms (QGLContext context = None)

## Detailed Description

The QGLShaderProgram class allows OpenGL shader programs to be linked and used.

### Introduction

This class supports shader programs written in the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) and in the OpenGL/ES Shading Language (GLSL/ES).

QGLShader and QGLShaderProgram shelter the programmer from the details of compiling and linking vertex and fragment shaders.

The following example creates a vertex shader program using the supplied source `code`. Once compiled and linked, the shader program is activated in the current QGLContext by calling QGLShaderProgram.bind():

     QGLShader shader(QGLShader.Vertex);
     shader.compileSourceCode(code);

     QGLShaderProgram program(context);
     program.addShader(shader);
     program.link();

     program.bind();

### Writing portable shaders

Shader programs can be difficult to reuse across OpenGL implementations because of varying levels of support for standard vertex attributes and uniform variables. In particular, GLSL/ES lacks all of the standard variables that are present on desktop OpenGL systems: `gl_Vertex`, `gl_Normal`, `gl_Color`, and so on. Desktop OpenGL lacks the variable qualifiers `highp`, `mediump`, and `lowp`.

The QGLShaderProgram class makes the process of writing portable shaders easier by prefixing all shader programs with the following lines on desktop OpenGL:

     #define highp
     #define mediump
     #define lowp

This makes it possible to run most GLSL/ES shader programs on desktop systems. The programmer should restrict themselves to just features that are present in GLSL/ES, and avoid standard variable names that only work on the desktop.

### Simple shader example

     program.addShaderFromSourceCode(QGLShader.Vertex,
         "attribute highp vec4 vertex;\n"
         "uniform highp mat4 matrix;\n"
         "void main(void)\n"
         "{\n"
         "   gl_Position = matrix * vertex;\n"
         "}");
     program.addShaderFromSourceCode(QGLShader.Fragment,
         "uniform mediump vec4 color;\n"
         "void main(void)\n"
         "{\n"
         "   gl_FragColor = color;\n"
         "}");
     program.link();
     program.bind();

     int vertexLocation = program.attributeLocation("vertex");
     int matrixLocation = program.uniformLocation("matrix");
     int colorLocation = program.uniformLocation("color");

With the above shader program active, we can draw a green triangle as follows:

     static GLfloat const triangleVertices[] = {
         60.0f,  10.0f,  0.0f,
         110.0f, 110.0f, 0.0f,
         10.0f,  110.0f, 0.0f
     };

     QColor color(0, 255, 0, 255);

     QMatrix4x4 pmvMatrix;
     pmvMatrix.ortho(rect());

     program.enableAttributeArray(vertexLocation);
     program.setAttributeArray(vertexLocation, triangleVertices, 3);
     program.setUniformValue(matrixLocation, pmvMatrix);
     program.setUniformValue(colorLocation, color);

     glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 3);

     program.disableAttributeArray(vertexLocation);

### Binary shaders and programs

Binary shaders may be specified using `glShaderBinary()` on the return value from QGLShader.shaderId(). The QGLShader instance containing the binary can then be added to the shader program with addShader() and linked in the usual fashion with link().

Binary programs may be specified using `glProgramBinaryOES()` on the return value from programId(). Then the application should call link(), which will notice that the program has already been specified and linked, allowing other operations to be performed on the shader program.

## Method Documentation

### QGLShaderProgram.__init__ (self, QObject parent = None)

The parent argument, if not None, causes self to be owned by Qt instead of PyQt.

Constructs a new shader program and attaches it to parent. The program will be invalid until addShader() is called.

The shader program will be associated with the current QGLContext.

See also addShader().

### QGLShaderProgram.__init__ (self, QGLContext context, QObject parent = None)

The parent argument, if not None, causes self to be owned by Qt instead of PyQt.

Constructs a new shader program and attaches it to parent. The program will be invalid until addShader() is called.

The shader program will be associated with context.

See also addShader().

### bool QGLShaderProgram.addShader (self, QGLShader shader)

Adds a compiled shader to this shader program. Returns true if the shader could be added, or false otherwise.

Ownership of the shader object remains with the caller. It will not be deleted when this QGLShaderProgram instance is deleted. This allows the caller to add the same shader to multiple shader programs.

See also addShaderFromSourceCode(), addShaderFromSourceFile(), removeShader(), link(), and removeAllShaders().

### bool QGLShaderProgram.addShaderFromSourceCode (self, QGLShader.ShaderType type, QByteArray source)

Compiles source as a shader of the specified type and adds it to this shader program. Returns true if compilation was successful, false otherwise. The compilation errors and warnings will be made available via log().

This function is intended to be a short-cut for quickly adding vertex and fragment shaders to a shader program without creating an instance of QGLShader first.

See also addShader(), addShaderFromSourceFile(), removeShader(), link(), log(), and removeAllShaders().

### bool QGLShaderProgram.addShaderFromSourceCode (self, QGLShader.ShaderType type, QString source)

This is an overloaded function.

Compiles source as a shader of the specified type and adds it to this shader program. Returns true if compilation was successful, false otherwise. The compilation errors and warnings will be made available via log().

This function is intended to be a short-cut for quickly adding vertex and fragment shaders to a shader program without creating an instance of QGLShader first.

See also addShader(), addShaderFromSourceFile(), removeShader(), link(), log(), and removeAllShaders().

### bool QGLShaderProgram.addShaderFromSourceFile (self, QGLShader.ShaderType type, QString fileName)

See also uniformLocation() and bindAttributeLocation().

### bool QGLShaderProgram.bind (self)

Binds this shader program to the active QGLContext and makes it the current shader program. Any previously bound shader program is released. This is equivalent to calling `glUseProgram()` on programId(). Returns true if the program was successfully bound; false otherwise. If the shader program has not yet been linked, or it needs to be re-linked, this function will call link().

See also link() and release().

### QGLShaderProgram.bindAttributeLocation (self, QByteArray name, int location)

Binds the attribute name to the specified location. This function can be called before or after the program has been linked. Any attributes that have not been explicitly bound when the program is linked will be assigned locations automatically.

When this function is called after the program has been linked, the program will need to be relinked for the change to take effect.

See also attributeLocation().

### QGLShaderProgram.bindAttributeLocation (self, QString name, int location)

This is an overloaded function.

Binds the attribute name to the specified location. This function can be called before or after the program has been linked. Any attributes that have not been explicitly bound when the program is linked will be assigned locations automatically.

When this function is called after the program has been linked, the program will need to be relinked for the change to take effect.

See also attributeLocation().

### QGLShaderProgram.disableAttributeArray (self, int location)

See also link().

### bool QGLShaderProgram.link (self)

Links together the shaders that were added to this program with addShader(). Returns true if the link was successful or false otherwise. If the link failed, the error messages can be retrieved with log().

Subclasses can override this function to initialize attributes and uniform variables for use in specific shader programs.

If the shader program was already linked, calling this function again will force it to be re-linked.

See also addShader() and log().
