### QGL.FormatOption

This enum specifies the format options that can be used to configure an OpenGL context. These are set using QGLFormat.setOption().

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QGL.DoubleBuffer` | `0x0001` | Specifies the use of double buffering.
`QGL.DepthBuffer` | `0x0002` | Enables the use of a depth buffer.
`QGL.Rgba` | `0x0004` | Specifies that the context should use RGBA as its pixel format.
`QGL.AlphaChannel` | `0x0008` | Enables the use of an alpha channel.
`QGL.AccumBuffer` | `0x0010` | Enables the use of an accumulation buffer.
`QGL.StencilBuffer` | `0x0020` | Enables the use of a stencil buffer.
`QGL.StereoBuffers` | `0x0040` | Enables the use of a stereo buffers for use with visualization hardware.
`QGL.DirectRendering` | `0x0080` | Specifies that the context is used for direct rendering to a display.
`QGL.HasOverlay` | `0x0100` | Enables the use of an overlay.
`QGL.SampleBuffers` | `0x0200` | Enables the use of sample buffers.
`QGL.SingleBuffer` | `DoubleBuffer<<16` | Specifies the use of a single buffer, as opposed to double buffers.
`QGL.NoDepthBuffer` | `DepthBuffer<<16` | Disables the use of a depth buffer.
`QGL.ColorIndex` | `Rgba<<16` | Specifies that the context should use a color index as its pixel format.
`QGL.NoAlphaChannel` | `AlphaChannel<<16` | Disables the use of an alpha channel.
`QGL.NoAccumBuffer` | `AccumBuffer<<16` | Disables the use of an accumulation buffer.
`QGL.NoStencilBuffer` | `StencilBuffer<<16` | Disables the use of a stencil buffer.
`QGL.NoStereoBuffers` | `StereoBuffers<<16` | Disables the use of stereo buffers.
`QGL.IndirectRendering` | `DirectRendering<<16` | Specifies that the context is used for indirect rendering to a buffer.
`QGL.NoOverlay` | `HasOverlay<<16` | Disables the use of an overlay.
`QGL.NoSampleBuffers` | `SampleBuffers<<16` | Disables the use of sample buffers.

The FormatOptions type is a typedef for QFlags<FormatOption>. It stores an OR combination of FormatOption values.
