    \class QOffscreenSurface
    \inmodule QtGui
    \since 5.1
    \brief The QOffscreenSurface class represents an offscreen surface in the underlying platform.

    QOffscreenSurface is intended to be used with QOpenGLContext to allow rendering with OpenGL in
    an arbitrary thread without the need to create a QWindow.

    Even though the surface is renderable, the surface's pixels are not accessible.
    QOffscreenSurface should only be used to create OpenGL resources such as textures
    or framebuffer objects.

    An application will typically use QOffscreenSurface to perform some time-consuming tasks in a
    separate thread in order to avoid stalling the main rendering thread. Resources created in the
    QOffscreenSurface's context can be shared with the main OpenGL context. Some common use cases
    are asynchronous texture uploads or rendering into a QOpenGLFramebufferObject.

    How the offscreen surface is implemented depends on the underlying platform, but it will
    typically use a pixel buffer (pbuffer). If the platform doesn't implement or support
    offscreen surfaces, QOffscreenSurface will use an invisible QWindow internally.

    \note Due to the fact that QOffscreenSurface is backed by a QWindow on some platforms,
    cross-platform applications must ensure that create() is only called on the main (GUI)
    thread. The QOffscreenSurface is then safe to be used with
    \l{QOpenGLContext::makeCurrent()}{makeCurrent()} on other threads, but the
    initialization and destruction must always happen on the main (GUI) thread.

    \note In order to create an offscreen surface that is guaranteed to be compatible with
    a given context and window, make sure to set the format to the context's or the
    window's actual format, that is, the QSurfaceFormat returned from
    QOpenGLContext::format() or QWindow::format() \e{after the context or window has been
    created}. Passing the format returned from QWindow::requestedFormat() to setFormat()
    may result in an incompatible offscreen surface since the underlying windowing system
    interface may offer a different set of configurations for window and pbuffer surfaces.
