49     \ingroup qpa
50     \brief The QPlatformSharedGraphicsCache is an abstraction of a cross-process graphics cache.
51 
52     If supported, it is possible to retrieve a QPlatformSharedGraphicsCache object from the
53     platform integration. This is typically used to store graphical items which should be shared
54     between several processes.
55 
56     Items are requested from the cache by calling requestItems(). If the cache contains the
57     requested items in the requested cache, the itemsAvailable() signal is emitted with the ID of
58     the graphical buffer and each item's coordinates inside the buffer. Before requesting items
59     from a cache, the user must call ensureCacheInitialized() to set the correct parameters for
60     the cache.
61 
62     If the cache does not yet contain the requested items, it will emit a similar itemsMissing()
63     signal. The client can then call updateItems() with rasterizations of the items and they will be
64     entered into the shared cache. As the items are rendered into the cache, itemsAvailable() signals
65     will be emitted for each of the items which have previously been requested and which have not
66     yet been reported as ready.
67 
68     Using beginRequestBatch() and endRequestBatch(), it's possible to batch glyph requests, which
69     could improve performance in cases where you have a sequence of requests pending, and you
70     do not need the results during this sequence.

78     \value OpenGLTexture The buffer will be allocated in graphics memory, and an OpenGL texture

97    \a pixelFormat gives the format of the buffers that will be used to contain the items in the
98    cache. If a cache with the same \a cacheId has previously been initialized, the call will be
99    ignored. The cache will keep its previously set buffer type and pixel format.

106 
107     If any or all of the items are available in the cache, one or more itemsAvailable() signals will be
108     emitted corresponding to the items. If the cache does not contain all of the items in question,
109     then an itemsMissing() signal will be emitted corresponding to the missing items. The user
110     is at this point expected to call insertItems() to insert the missing items into the cache. If
111     the inserted items have previously been requested by the user, at which point an itemsAvailable()
112     signal will be emitted corresponding to the items.
113 
114     Before requesting items from a cache, the user must call ensureCacheInitialized() with the
115     correct parameters for the cache.

119     \fn void QPlatformSharedGraphicsCache::insertItems(const QByteArray &cacheId, const QVector<quint32> &itemIds, const QVector<QImage> &items)
120 
121     Inserts the items in \a itemIds into the cache named \a cacheId. The appearance of
122     each item is stored in \a items. The format of the QImage objects is expected to match the
123     pixel format of the cache as it was initialized in ensureCacheInitialized().
124 
125     When the items have been successfully entered into the cache, one or more itemsAvailable() signals
126     will be emitted for the items.
127 
128     If the cache already contains the items, the behavior is implementation-specific. The
129     implementation may choose to ignore the items or it may overwrite the existing instances in
130     the cache. Either way, itemsAvailable() signals corresponding to the inserted items will be
131     emitted.

147     call insertItems() to update the cache with the respective items, at which point they will

156     \fn void QPlatformSharedGraphicsCache::itemsAvailable(const QByteArray &cacheId, void *bufferId, const QVector<quint32> &itemIds, const QVector<QPoint> &positionsInBuffer)
157 
158     This signal can be emitted at any time when either requestItems() or insertItems() has been
159     called by the application for one or more items in the cache named \a cacheId, as long as
160     releaseItems() has not subsequently been called for the same items. It instructs the application
161     on where to find the items that have been entered into the cache. When the application receives
162     a buffer, it is expected to reference it using referenceBuffer() on it if it keeps a reference
163     to the buffer.
164 
165     The \a bufferId is an ID for the buffer that contains the items. The \a bufferId can be
166     converted to a format usable by the application depending on which format it was given at
167     initialization. If it is a OpenGLTexture, its texture ID can be requested using the
168     textureIdForBuffer() function. The dimensions of the buffer are given by \a bufferSize.
169 
170     The items provided by the cache are identified in the \a itemIds vector. The
171     \a positionsInBuffer vector contains the locations inside the buffer of each item. Each entry in
172     \a positionsInBuffer corresponds to an item in \a itemIds.
173 
174     The buffer and the items' locations within the buffer can be considered valid until an
175     itemsInvalidated() signal has been emitted for the items, or until releaseItems() is called
176     for the items.

184     This signal is similar in usage to the itemsAvailable() signal, but will be emitted when
185     the location of a previously requested or inserted item has been updated. The application
186     must update its data for the respective items and release any references to old buffers held
187     by the items.
188 
189     If the application no longer holds any references to previously referenced items in a given
190     cache, it should call releaseItems() for these items, at which point it will no longer receive

199     This signal is emitted when the items given by \a itemIds in the cache named \a cacheId have
200     been removed from the cache and the previously reported information about them is considered
201     invalid. It will only be emitted for items for which a buffer has previously been identified
202     through the itemsAvailable() signal (either as response to a requestItems() call or an
203     insertItems() call.)
204 
205     The application is expected to throw away information about the items in the \a itemIds array
206     and drop any references it might have to the memory held by the buffer. If the items are still
207     required by the application, it can re-commit them to the cache using the insertItems() function.
208 
209     If the application no longer holds any references to previously referenced items in a given
210     cache, it should call releaseItems() for these items, at which point it will no longer receive

216 
217     This is a hint to the cache that a burst of requests is pending. In some implementations, this
218     will improve performance, as the cache can focus on handling the requests and wait with the
219     results until it is done. It should typically be called prior to a sequence of calls to
220     requestItems() and releaseItems().
221 
222     Any call to beginRequestBatch() must be followed at some point by a call to endRequestBatch().
