NAME
PDL::Graphics::OpenGL::Perl::OpenGL - PDL TriD OpenGL interface using POGL
VERSION
Version 0.01_10
SYNOPSIS
This module provides the glue between the Perl OpenGL functions and the API defined by the internal PDL::Graphics::OpenGL one. It also supports any miscellaneous OpenGL or GUI related functionality to support PDL::Graphics::TriD refactoring.
You should eventually be able to replace:
use PDL::Graphics::OpenGL
by
use PDL::Graphics::OpenGL::Perl::OpenGL;This module also includes support for FreeGLUT and GLUT instead of X11+GLX as mechanism for creating windows and graphics contexts.
EXPORT
See the documentation for the OpenGL module. More details to follow as the refactored TriD module interface and build environment matures
FUNCTIONS
TBD
TBD
new
Returns a new OpenGL object.
new($class,$options,[$window_type])
Attributes are specified in the $options field; the 3d $window_type is optionsl. The attributes are:- x,y - the position of the upper left corner of the window (0,0)
- width,height - the width and height of the window in pixels (500,500)
- parent - the parent under which the new window should be opened (root)
- mask - the user interface mask (StructureNotifyMask)
- attributes - attributes to pass to glXChooseVisual
Allowed 3d window types, case insensitive, are:
- glut - use Perl OpenGL bindings and GLUT windows (no Tk)
- x11 - use Perl OpenGL (POGL) bindings with X11 (disabled)
default GLUT callbacks
These routines are set as the default GLUT callbacks for when GLUT windows are used for PDL/POGL. Their only function at the moment is to drive a fake XEvent queue to feed the existing TriD GUI controls. At some point, the X11 stuff will be deprecated and we can rewrite this more cleanly.
default_options
default options for object oriented methods
XPending()
OO interface to XPending
XResizeWindow
OO interface to XResizeWindow
XResizeWindow(x,y)glpXNextEvent()
OO interface to glpXNextEvent
glpRasterFont()
OO interface to the glpRasterFont function
swap_buffers
OO interface to swapping display buffers
set_window
OO interface to setting the display window (if appropriate)
AUTOLOAD
If the function is not prototyped in OO we assume there is no explicit mention of the three identifying parameters (Display, Window, Context) and try to load the OpenGL function.
glXSwapBuffers
OO interface to the glXSwapBuffers function
