 * @brief The OpenGLBackend creates and holds the OpenGL context and is responsible for Texture from Pixmap.
 *
 * The OpenGLBackend is an abstract base class used by the SceneOpenGL to abstract away the differences
 * between various OpenGL windowing systems such as GLX and EGL.
 *
 * A concrete implementation has to create and release the OpenGL context in a way so that the
 * SceneOpenGL does not have to care about it.
 *
 * In addition a major task for this class is to generate the SceneOpenGLTexturePrivate which is
 * able to perform the texture from pixmap operation in the given backend.
