## Member Type Documentation

### enum QClearBuffers::BufferType
flags QClearBuffers::BufferTypeFlags

This enum type describes types of buffer to be cleared.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`Qt3DRender::QClearBuffers::None` | `0` | No buffers will be cleared
`Qt3DRender::QClearBuffers::ColorBuffer` | `(1 << 0)` | Clear color buffers
`Qt3DRender::QClearBuffers::DepthBuffer` | `(1 << 1)` | Clear depth buffer
`Qt3DRender::QClearBuffers::StencilBuffer` | `(1 << 2)` | Clear stencil buffer
`Qt3DRender::QClearBuffers::DepthStencilBuffer` | `DepthBuffer | StencilBuffer` | Clear depth and stencil buffers
`Qt3DRender::QClearBuffers::ColorDepthBuffer` | `ColorBuffer | DepthBuffer` | Clear color and depth buffers
`Qt3DRender::QClearBuffers::ColorDepthStencilBuffer` | `ColorBuffer | DepthStencilBuffer` | Clear color, depth and stencil buffers
`Qt3DRender::QClearBuffers::AllBuffers` | `0xFFFFFFFF` | Clear all buffers

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

## Property Documentation

### buffers : BufferType

Specifies the buffer type to be used.

Access functions:

BufferType | buffers() const
void | setBuffers(BufferType buffers)

Notifier signal:

void | buffersChanged(BufferType buffers)

### clearColor : QColor

Specifies the clear color to be used.

Access functions:

QColor | clearColor() const
void | setClearColor(const QColor &color)

Notifier signal:

void | clearColorChanged(const QColor &color)

### clearDepthValue : float

Specifies the clear depth value to be used.

Access functions:

float | clearDepthValue() const
void | setClearDepthValue(float clearDepthValue)

Notifier signal:

void | clearDepthValueChanged(float clearDepthValue)

### clearStencilValue : int

Specifies the stencil value to be used.

Access functions:

int | clearStencilValue() const
void | setClearStencilValue(int clearStencilValue)

Notifier signal:

void | clearStencilValueChanged(int clearStencilValue)

### colorBuffer : Qt3DRender::QRenderTargetOutput*

Specifies a specific color buffer to clear. If set to NULL (default), and ColorBuffer flag is set, all color buffers will be cleared.

Access functions:

QRenderTargetOutput * | colorBuffer() const
void | setColorBuffer(QRenderTargetOutput *buffer)

Notifier signal:

void | colorBufferChanged(QRenderTargetOutput *buffer)
