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($class,$options,[$window_type]) - Returns a new OpenGL object with attributes specified in the options
field, and of the 3d window type, if specified. These 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:
pdl-legacy-x11 - use deprecated PDL::PP OpenGL interface
x11 - use Perl OpenGL (POGL) bindings and X11 windows(supports PDL::Graphics::TriD::Tk use)glut - use Perl OpenGL bindings and GLUT windows (no Tk) - 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 an fake XEvent queue to feed the existing TriD GUI controls. At some point, the X11 stuff will the deprecated and we can rewrite this
more cleanly. - default_options
- default options for object oriented methods
- XPending()
- OO interface to XPending
- XResizeWindow(x,y)
- OO interface to XResizeWindow
- glpXNextEvent()
- OO interface to glpXNextEvent
- glpRasterFont()
- OO interface to the glpRasterFont function
- 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
