[Development] About inheriting QBlitterPaintEngine from QGL2PaintEngineEx class

[haithem rahmani]

Hi,

what I want is make qpa plugin use the GPU to do complex drawing instead of
the Raster.

The QGL2PaintEngineEx is part of the QtOpenGL module, hence I didn't find
how to integrate it in the QtGui.

any help please?


thanks
haithem
