Remarks

This class creates an OpenGL Pbuffer object which may be used for accelerated off-screen rendering. Unlike a pixmap or offscreen bitmap, a Pbuffer is allocated in frame buffer memory and can be rendered to directly by the graphics hardware.

<font color="#0000FF">NOTE:</font> This class does not exist in Open Inventor 10.0 and later. Use SoRenderToTarget.

For most applications, using the SoOffscreenRenderer class will be more convenient. SoOffscreenRenderer uses Pbuffers automatically.

Pbuffers are only available if the graphics hardware supports OpenGL 1.2 or the OpenGL Pbuffer extension. On UNIX this extension is named "GLX_pbuffer" or "GLX_SGIX_pbuffer". On Windows this extension is named "WGL_ARB_pbuffer" or "WGL_EXT_pbuffer".
