本文來自https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31323749/easiest-way-for-offscreen-rendering-with-qopenglwidget，經親測（有小量修改），確實能執行。現在把自己示例程式碼貼出來。

簡單介紹下程式碼結構：核心的類是  

OpenGlOffscreenSurface

於是引出了它的派生類

ExamplePaintSurface

所有的繪製其實都是在派生類裡完成的。

最後，

OpenGlOffscreenSurface::grabFramebuffer()

在我的示例中，MainWindow::paintEvent()利用離屏渲染的結果來填充自己。上程式碼：
