Detailed Description

The QLayer class provides a way of filtering which entities will be rendered.

Qt3DRender::QLayer works in conjunction with the Qt3DRender::QLayerFilter in the FrameGraph.

A QLayer can be applied to a subtree of entities by setting the recursive property to true.

   #include <Qt3DRender/QLayerFilter>
   #include <Qt3DRender/QViewport>

  // Scene
  Qt3DCore::QEntity *rootEntity = new Qt3DCore::Qt3DCore::QEntity;

  Qt3DCore::QEntity *renderableEntity = new Qt3DCore::Qt3DCore::QEntity(rootEntity);
  Qt3DRender::QGeometryRenderer *geometryRenderer = new Qt3DCore::QGeometryRenderer(renderableEntity);
  Qt3DRender::QLayer *layer1 = new Qt3DCore::QLayer(renderableEntity);
  layer1->setRecursive(true);
  renderableEntity->addComponent(geometryRenderer);
  renderableEntity->addComponent(layer1);

  // FrameGraph
  Qt3DRender::QViewport *viewport = new Qt3DRender::QViewport;
  Qt3DRender::QLayerFilter *layerFilter = new Qt3DRender::QLayerFilter(viewport);
  layerFilter->addLayer(layer1);
