To get started:

• Create a class derived from eqQt::QtMainWindow. This will contain your GUI, and an eqQt::QtGLWidget (or a derived class) as an OpenGL viewport.

• Create a class derived from eqQt::QtGLContextCreator. This is a helper class to create OpenGL contexts in the main thread, which is necessary in Qt. This class has to override the contextRequestEvent function. A typical implementation might look like this:

  void ContextCreator::contextRequestEvent( eqQt::QtGLContextRequestEvent pEvent ) { MainWindow pMW = new MainWindow( pEvent->getQtWindow() ); pMW->show(); }

• In your main() function:

  • Create the QApplication instance: QApplication q;
  • Create your context creator instance: ContextCreator cc;
  • Start Equalizer in a separate thread (i.e., create a thread that does in its run() what eqPly or eVolve do in main()).
  • Run the Qt event loop: int result = q.exec();
