QPaint onto QGLFramebufferObject texture? - qt

Question

I am trying to learn how to use QPainter with a QGLFramebufferObject. When I try to display the texture in a QGLWidget, it is not visible. (complete code below)
The end goal is to use QPainter to draw text onto textures and then alpha blend the texture overtop of the 2D line geometry.

Answer 1

The QGLFramebufferObject instance is destroyed when leaving initializeGL(). This results in deleting the texture too. You need to keep the QGLFramebufferObject alive until the texture is no longer needed.

Answer 2

Here is the corrected code. Also with alpha bending.
