// The plot headers come first, and must. Qt's <QOpenGLWidget> reaches
// <QtGui/qopengl.h>, which on a desktop platform includes the system <GL/gl.h>;
// that header defines GL_TRUE, GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT, GL_TEXTURE_2D and the rest as
// preprocessor macros, and those are exactly the names plot/gl/api.hpp declares as
// enumerators -- a macro rewrite turns each definition into nonsense. Parsing
// api.hpp before the macros exist is what lets the two coexist (the GLFW adapter
// sidesteps the same clash with GLFW_INCLUDE_NONE, which Qt offers no equivalent
// of). A translation unit that uses this widget must keep the same order for
// anything it includes itself, and must not name a `plot::gl::GL_*` enumerator
// after a Qt header that reaches GL has been included: the macro rewrites that
// token wherever it appears, namespace and all.

namespace plot::qt {
/// Embeds a `Plot` in a Qt widget: a `QOpenGLWidget` whose framebuffer the plot
/// is rendered into, with Qt's own input events translated into `plot::input`
/// ones.
///
/// `QOpenGLWidget` renders into an FBO of its own, which it binds before calling
/// `paintGL()` -- exactly the "currently bound framebuffer" `Renderer` documents
/// it draws into. The widget therefore never creates a target of its own, and the
/// renderer's scissor-cleared viewport is the widget's whole rectangle. Nothing is
/// rendered to a texture or through a second pass: the plot is what Qt composes,
/// and the widget's other content (Qt draws none; a `QOpenGLWidget` is opaque)
/// would be drawn around it.
///
/// ## The surface format is a precondition, not a setting
///
/// This widget cannot ask for a context version: Qt hands a widget the
/// *application default* `QSurfaceFormat` at the moment its context is created,
/// and a context cannot be renegotiated afterwards. An embedding application must
/// therefore have done this before the widget exists:
///
/// QSurfaceFormat fmt;
/// fmt.setVersion(3, 3);
/// fmt.setProfile(QSurfaceFormat::CoreProfile);
/// fmt.setSwapBehavior(QSurfaceFormat::DoubleBuffer);
/// fmt.setDepthBufferSize(0);
/// fmt.setStencilBufferSize(0);
/// QSurfaceFormat::setDefaultFormat(fmt);
/// QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_UseDesktopOpenGL); // before QApplication
///
/// The last line matters as much as the rest: an ES or ANGLE backend has no 3.3
/// core profile to give, and this library's loader resolves desktop entry points.
/// `initializeGL()` reports the failure through `init_status()` rather than
/// asserting, but it cannot repair a format that was already decided.
///
/// ## The coordinate convention: device pixels, both sides
///
/// Two pixel spaces meet here, exactly as they do in the GLFW and ImGui adapters.
/// Qt reports widget geometry and mouse positions in **logical** pixels
/// (`width()`, `QMouseEvent::position()`), while the widget's framebuffer -- what
/// `Renderer::begin_frame()` takes and what every `Rect` in this library speaks --
/// is in **device** pixels, `devicePixelRatioF()` times as large on a scaled
/// display.
///
/// This widget converts everything into device pixels and keeps it there:
///
/// * the viewport handed to the plot is `round(width() * dpr)` x
/// `round(height() * dpr)` (rounded, not truncated, so the last column of the
/// FBO is inside the plot), and
/// * every pointer, wheel and key anchor is multiplied by the same
/// `devicePixelRatioF()` before it reaches the controller, deltas included.
///
/// `device_viewport()` and `to_device()` are the only two places that mapping
/// exists, so the viewport and the input cannot disagree -- and they must not: a
/// mismatch renders correctly but pans by the wrong amount, which is invisible on
/// an unscaled display and wrong on every other one.
///
/// ## Input
///
/// Qt reports levels and edges directly (`QMouseEvent` press/release are edges,
/// `buttons()` is the state after the event), so the translation is a
/// reinterpretation rather than the edge synthesis the ImGui adapter needs.
/// Wheel input is the one unit conversion: Qt's `angleDelta()` is in eighths of a
/// degree, 120 to a notch, while `Controller::on_wheel()` takes notches, positive
/// = zoom in -- which is Qt's positive `angleDelta().y()` too. A wheel event with
/// no vertical component is refused before it reaches the controller, because a
/// zero-notch zoom changes no range but still runs the range setters, which clear
/// auto scale: a horizontal scroll must not silently stop a live axis following.
///
/// ## Threading
///
/// Qt widgets live on the GUI thread, and so does everything here: `initializeGL`,
/// `paintGL` and the event handlers all run there, which is the thread that owns
/// the context. A host that feeds the plot from a producer thread acquires its
/// data on this thread (see the frame callback).

/// the wall time since the previous call, in seconds. Optional; a widget with
/// no callback just re-draws the plot as it stands.
