If so... Yes it does. Calling QQuickWindow::update() will re-schedule all drawing in the scene graph tree on the rendering thread. However, it does not sync with the GUI thread, so it is rather fast unless. You can of course put your top-level item into a layer, by setting "layer.enabled: true" on the topmost QQuickItem. That will put the entire scene graph into a texture so the rendering so when you do QQuickWindow::update() there is only a single quad being drawn (unless the UI changes, of course). > * Is there a way to use partial updates instead? No, the default renderer does not do partial updates and I do not have plans to implement one that does. cheers, Gunnar > I'm aware I can render to an FBO, but that takes away the 'easy' full screen > MSAA I get with the direct method. > > > Preet > _______________________________________________ > Interest mailing list > Interest@qt-project.org > http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
