[Paraview-developers] OpenGL context provider: Qt5 or other?

[Paul Melis]

Hi devs,

Does ParaView get its OpenGL context through Qt (either directly or 
through VTK) or in some other way? I looked in the source, but could not 
really find a clear answer, other than that the string "QOpenGL" is only 
used in the about box code to provide OpenGL version and vendor info.

More concretely: can I build an (NVidia) GPU-accelerated version of the 
ParaView client if the underlying Qt5 is using Mesa as its OpenGL 
implementation? Or do the library symbols clash in this case?

Regards,
Paul
