简介

要学习OpenGL的话，强烈安利这个教程JoeyDeVries的learnopengl，这里是中文翻译好的版本。教程中使用OpenGL是通过GLFW这个库，而在Qt中对OpenGL封装得很好，并且和GUI以及IO相关的处理Qt更便捷，学习起来更轻松。这里就对每篇教程，在Qt在分别直接使用OpenGL的函数和Qt封装好的类以作对比。
教程中使用的OpenGL版本为3.3，在Qt中需要使用此版本的OpenGL只需要继承类QOpenGLFunctions_3_3_Core即可。如果为了在不同设备上都能用OpenGL的话，Qt提供了类QOpenGLFunctions，这个类包含了大部分公共的函数，可能会有个别函数不能用。

对比说明

教程地址

原教程地址，相关知识可以点击链接学习。
我的工程地址，准备后期每篇教程一个commit，可以切换着看，查看本篇代码 git checkout v1.2，喜欢就点个Star吧~

不同点 (仅列出新增)

1. 我的代码实现的是原教程中练习2的三角形沿着X轴水平移动
2. 原教程是一个while循环不停重绘，Qt中的paintGL则是在需要时才重绘，因此采用QTimer定时器触发重绘刷新。
