Detailed Description

This file defines wrapper functions for OpenGL in FLTK.

To use OpenGL from within an FLTK application you MUST use gl_visual() to select the default visual before doing show() on any windows. Mesa will crash if yoy try to use a visual not returned by glxChooseVidual.

This does not work with Fl_Double_Window's! It will try to draw into the front buffer. Depending on the system this will either crash or do nothing (when pixmaps are being used as back buffer and GL is being done by hardware), work correctly (when GL is done with software, such as Mesa), or draw into the front buffer and be erased when the buffers are swapped (when double buffer hardware is being used)

Function Documentation

gl_color()

FL_EXPORT void gl_color

(

Fl_Color

i

)

Sets the curent OpenGL color to an FLTK color.

For color-index modes it will use fl_xpixel(c), which is only right if the window uses the default colormap!

gl_draw() [1/7]

FL_EXPORT void gl_draw

(

const char *

str

)

Draws a nul-terminated string in the current font at the current position.

On the Mac OS X platform, see gl_texture_pile_height(int)

gl_draw() [2/7]

FL_EXPORT void gl_draw	(	const char *	str,
		float	x,
		float	y
	)

Draws a nul-terminated string in the current font at the given position.

See also

On the Mac OS X platform, see gl_texture_pile_height(int)

gl_draw() [3/7]

FL_EXPORT void gl_draw	(	const char *	str,
		int	n
	)

Draws an array of n characters of the string in the current font at the current position.

See also

On the Mac OS X platform, see gl_texture_pile_height(int)

gl_draw() [4/7]

FL_EXPORT void gl_draw	(	const char *	str,
		int	n,
		float	x,
		float	y
	)

Draws n characters of the string in the current font at the given position.

On the Mac OS X platform, see gl_texture_pile_height(int)

gl_draw() [5/7]

FL_EXPORT void gl_draw	(	const char *	str,
		int	n,
		int	x,
		int	y
	)

Draws n characters of the string in the current font at the given position.

On the Mac OS X platform, see gl_texture_pile_height(int)

gl_draw() [6/7]

FL_EXPORT void gl_draw	(	const char *	str,
		int	x,
		int	y
	)

Draws a nul-terminated string in the current font at the given position.

See also

On the Mac OS X platform, see gl_texture_pile_height(int)

gl_draw() [7/7]

FL_EXPORT void gl_draw	(	const char *	str,
		int	x,
		int	y,
		int	w,
		int	h,
		Fl_Align	align
	)

Draws a string formatted into a box, with newlines and tabs expanded, other control characters changed to ^X.

and aligned with the edges or center. Exactly the same output as fl_draw().

gl_rect()

FL_EXPORT void gl_rect	(	int	x,
		int	y,
		int	w,
		int	h
	)

Outlines the given rectangle with the current color.

If Fl_Gl_Window::ortho() has been called, then the rectangle will exactly fill the given pixel rectangle.

gl_rectf()

void gl_rectf ( int  x, int  y, int  w, int  h  )

inline

Fills the given rectangle with the current color.

gl_rect(int x, int y, int w, int h)
