## Detailed Description

A QDepthTest class is used to enable depth testing with a given depth test function. The depth test enables writing fragment color values when the depth test passes, and reject fragments which fail the test. The depth test uses the depth function to test the fragments depth value to the value against z-buffer. If the underlying surface does not have z-buffer, then QDepthTest does nothing.

See also QAlphaTest and QStencilTest.

### enum QDepthTest::DepthFunction

Enumeration for the depth function values

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt3DRender::QDepthTest::Never` | `0x0200` | Never pass depth test
`Qt3DRender::QDepthTest::Always` | `0x0207` | Always pass depth test
`Qt3DRender::QDepthTest::Less` | `0x0201` | Pass depth test if fragment depth is less than z-buffer value
`Qt3DRender::QDepthTest::LessOrEqual` | `0x0203` | Pass depth test if fragment depth is less than or equal to z-buffer value
`Qt3DRender::QDepthTest::Equal` | `0x0202` | Pass depth test if fragment depth is equal to z-buffer value
`Qt3DRender::QDepthTest::GreaterOrEqual` | `0x0206` | Pass depth test if fragment depth is greater than or equal to z-buffer value
`Qt3DRender::QDepthTest::Greater` | `0x0204` | Pass depth test if fragment depth is greater than z-buffer value
`Qt3DRender::QDepthTest::NotEqual` | `0x0205` | Pass depth test if fragment depth is not equal to z-buffer value

## Property Documentation

### depthFunction : DepthFunction

Holds the current function used by depth test. The default is Never.

Access functions:

Qt3DRender::QDepthTest::DepthFunction | depthFunction() const
void | setDepthFunction(Qt3DRender::QDepthTest::DepthFunction depthFunction)

Notifier signal:

void | depthFunctionChanged(Qt3DRender::QDepthTest::DepthFunction depthFunction)

## Member Function Documentation

### QDepthTest::QDepthTest(Qt3DCore::QNode *parent = nullptr)

The constructor creates a new QDepthTest::QDepthTest instance with the specified parent.
