|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The OpenGL programming world owes a tremendous debt to Mr. Mark J. Kilgard
|
|
for writing the OpenGL Utility Toolkit, or GLUT. The GLUT library
|
|
of functions allows an application programmer to create, control, and manipulate
|
|
windows independent of what operating system the program is running on.
|
|
By hiding the dependency on the operating system from the application programmer,
|
|
he allowed people to write truly portable OpenGL applications.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Mr. Kilgard copyrighted his library and gave it a rather unusual license.
|
|
Under his license, people are allowed freely to copy and distribute the libraries
|
|
and the source code, but they are not allowed to modify it. For a long time this did
|
|
not matter because the GLUT library worked so well and because Mr. Kilgard
|
|
was releasing updates on a regular basis. But with the passage of time,
|
|
people started wanting some slightly different behaviours in their windowing
|
|
system. When Mr. Kilgard stopped supporting the GLUT library in 1999,
|
|
having moved on to bigger and better things, this started to become a problem.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In December 1999, Mr. Pawel Olzsta started work on an open-source clone of the
|
|
GLUT library.
|
|
This open-source clone, which does not use any of the GLUT source code, has
|
|
evolved into the present <i>freeglut</i> library. This documentation
|
|
specifies the application program interface to the <i>freeglut</i> library.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>3.1 Design Philosophy</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h2>3.2 <a name="Conventions"></a>Conventions</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In developing the <i>freeglut</i> library, we have taken careful steps
|
|
to ensure consistency in function operation across the board, in such a
|
|
manner as to maintain compatibility with GLUT's behavior whenever
|
|
possible. In this section some of the important conventions of FreeGLUT,
|
|
and their compatibility with GLUT, are made explicit.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>3.2.1 Window placement and size</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is considerable confusion about the "right thing to do" concerning
|
|
window size and position. GLUT itself is not consistent between
|
|
Windows and UNIX/X11; since platform independence is a virtue for
|
|
<i>freeglut</i>, we decided to break with GLUT's behaviour. <br>
|
|
Under UNIX/X11, it is apparently not possible to get the window border
|
|
sizes in order to subtract them off the window's initial position until
|
|
some time after the window has been created. Therefore we decided on
|
|
the following behavior, both under Windows and under UNIX/X11:
|
|
<ul><li>When you create a window with position (x,y) and size (w,h), the
|
|
upper left hand corner of the outside of the window is at (x,y) and the
|
|
size of the drawable area is (w,h).
|
|
<li>When you query the size and position of the window <i>freeglut</i>
|
|
will return the size of the drawable area--the (w,h) that you specified
|
|
when you created the window--and the coordinates of the upper left hand
|
|
corner of the drawable area--which is <u>NOT</u> the (x,y) position of
|
|
the window you specified when you created it.</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>3.3 Terminology</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h2>3.4 Differences from GLUT 3.7</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Since the <i>freeglut</i> library was developed in order to update GLUT,
|
|
it is natural that there will be some differences between the two.
|
|
Each function in the API notes any differences between the GLUT and the <i>
|
|
freeglut</i> function behaviours. The important ones are summarized
|
|
here.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>3.4.1 glutMainLoop Behaviour</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
One of the commonest complaints about the GLUT library was that once an
|
|
application called <tt>glutMainLoop</tt>, it never got control back.
|
|
There was no way for an application to loop in GLUT for a while, possibly
|
|
as a subloop while a specific window was open, and then return to the calling
|
|
function. A new function, <tt>glutMainLoopEvent</tt>, has been added
|
|
to allow this functionality. Another function, <tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt>,
|
|
has also been added to allow the application to tell <i>freeglut</i> to clean
|
|
up and close down.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>3.4.2 Action on Window Closure</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Another difficulty with GLUT, especially with multiple-window programs,
|
|
is that if the user clicks on the "x" in the window header the application
|
|
exits immediately. The application programmer can now set an option,
|
|
<tt> GLUT_ACTION_ON_WINDOW_CLOSE</tt>, to specify whether execution should
|
|
continue, whether GLUT should return control to the main program, or whether
|
|
GLUT should simply exit (the default).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>3.4.3 Fullscreen windows</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Function to leave fullscreen window mode, <tt>glutLeaveFullScreen</tt>,
|
|
or to toggle between fullscreen and normal window mode,
|
|
<tt>glutFullScreenToggle</tt>, have been added.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>3.4.4 Changes to Callbacks</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Several new callbacks have been added and several callbacks which were specific
|
|
to Silicon Graphics hardware have not been implemented. Most or all
|
|
of the new callbacks are listed in the GLUT Version 4 "glut.h" header file
|
|
but did not make it into the documentation. The new callbacks consist
|
|
of regular and special key release callbacks, a joystick callback, a menu
|
|
state callback (with one argument, distinct from the menu status callback
|
|
which has three arguments), and a window status callback
|
|
(also with one argument). Unsupported callbacks are the two Tablet
|
|
callbacks. If the user has a need for an unsupported callback he should
|
|
contact the <i>freeglut</i> development team.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>3.4.5 String Rendering</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
New functions have been added to render full character strings (including
|
|
carriage returns) rather than rendering one character at a time. More
|
|
functions return the widths of character strings and the font heights, in
|
|
pixels for bitmapped fonts and in OpenGL units for the stroke fonts.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>3.4.6 Geometry Rendering</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Two functions have been added to render a wireframe and a solid rhombic
|
|
dodecahedron.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>3.4.7 Extension Function Queries</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
glutGetProcAddress is a wrapper for the glXGetProcAddressARB and wglGetProcAddress
|
|
functions.
|
|
</p>

|
|

|
<h2>4.1 glutInit</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h2>4.2 glutInitWindowPosition, glutInitWindowSize</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <tt>glutInitWindowPosition</tt> and <tt>glutInitWindowSize</tt>
|
|
functions specify a desired position and size for windows that <i>freeglut</i>
|
|
will create in the future.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Usage</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>void glutInitWindowPosition ( int x, int y );</tt> <br/>
|
|
<tt>void glutInitWindowSize ( int width, int height );</tt> </p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Description</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <tt>glutInitWindowPosition</tt> and <tt>glutInitWindowSize</tt>
|
|
functions specify a desired position and size for windows that
|
|
<i>freeglut</i> will create in the future.
|
|
The position is measured in pixels from the upper left hand corner of the
|
|
screen, with "x" increasing to the right and "y" increasing towards the bottom
|
|
of the screen. The size is measured in pixels. <i>Freeglut</i>
|
|
does not promise to follow these specifications in creating its windows,
|
|
but it certainly makes an attempt to.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The position and size of a window are a matter of some subtlety. Most
|
|
windows have a usable area surrounded by a border and with a title bar
|
|
on the top. The border and title bar are commonly called "decorations."
|
|
The position of the window unfortunately varies with the operating system.
|
|
On both Linux and Windows, you specify the coordinates of the upper
|
|
left-hand corner of the window's decorations. Also for both operating
|
|
systems, the size of the window is the size of the usable interior.<br>
|
|
With <tt>glutGet</tt> information can be acquired about the current
|
|
window's size, position and decorations. Note however that according to
|
|
<a href="#Conventions">FreeGLUT's conventions</a>, the information
|
|
returned about the window coordinates does not correspond to the
|
|
coordinates used when setting window position.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Windows has some additional quirks which the application programmer
|
|
should know about. First, the minimum y-coordinate
|
|
of a window decoration is zero. (This is a feature of <i>freeglut</i>
|
|
and can be adjusted if so desired.) Second, there appears to be a
|
|
minimum window width on Windows which is 104 pixels. The user may specify
|
|
a smaller width, but the Windows system calls ignore it. It is also
|
|
impossible to make a window narrower than this by dragging on its corner.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For some reason, GLUT is not affected by the 104-pixel minimum window width.
|
|
If the user clicks on the corner of a window which is narrower than this amount,
|
|
the window will immediately snap out to this width, but the application can
|
|
call <tt>glutReshapeWindow</tt> and make a window narrower again.
|
|
</p>

<h1>5. <a name="EventProcessing"></a>Event Processing Functions</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
After an application has finished initializing its windows and menus, it
|
|
enters an event loop. Within this loop, <i>freeglut</i> polls the
|
|
data entry devices (keyboard, mouse, etc.) and calls the application's appropriate
|
|
callbacks.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In GLUT, control never returned from
|
|
the event loop (as invoked by the <tt>glutMainLoop</tt> function) to the
|
|
calling function. This prevented an application from having re-entrant
|
|
code, in which GLUT could be invoked from within a callback, and it prevented
|
|
the application from doing any post-processing (such as freeing allocated
|
|
memory) after GLUT had closed down. <i>Freeglut</i> allows the application
|
|
programmer to specify more direct control over the event loop by means of
|
|
two new functions. The first, <tt>glutMainLoopEvent</tt>, processes
|
|
a single iteration of the event loop and allows the application to use a different

<p>

|
The <tt>glutMainLoop</tt> function enters the event loop.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Usage</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>void glutMainLoop ( void );</tt></p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Description</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <tt>glutMainLoop</tt> function
|
|
causes the program to enter the window event loop. An application should
|
|
call this function at most once. It will call any application callback
|
|
functions as required to process mouse clicks, mouse motion, key presses,
|
|
and so on.

<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In GLUT, there was absolutely no way for the application programmer to
|
|
have control return from the <tt>glutMainLoop</tt> function to the
|
|
calling function. <i>Freeglut</i> allows the programmer
|
|
to force this by setting the <tt>GLUT_ACTION_ON_WINDOW_CLOSE</tt> option
|
|
and invoking the <tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt> function from one of the callbacks.
|
|
Stopping the program this way is preferable to simply calling <tt>exit</tt>
|
|
from within a callback because this allows <i>freeglut</i> to free allocated
|
|
memory and otherwise clean up after itself. (I know I just said this,
|
|
but I think it is important enough that it bears repeating.)

<h2>5.2 glutMainLoopEvent</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <tt>glutMainLoopEvent</tt> function processes a single iteration
|
|
in the <i>freeglut</i> event loop.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Usage</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>void glutMainLoopEvent ( void );</tt></p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Description</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <tt>glutMainLoopEvent</tt> function causes <i>freeglut</i> to process
|
|
one iteration's worth of events in its event loop. This allows the application
|
|
to control its own event loop and still use the <i>freeglut</i> windowing system.

<h2>5.3 glutLeaveMainLoop</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|

The <tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt> function causes <i>freeglut</i> to stop

|
its event loop.
|

</p>

|
|

|
|
|
|
<p><tt>void glutLeaveMainLoop ( void );</tt>

</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Description</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt> function causes <i>freeglut</i> to stop the event loop. If the
|
|
<tt>GLUT_ACTION_ON_WINDOW_CLOSE</tt> option has been set to <tt>GLUT_ACTION_CONTINUE_EXECUTION</tt>,
|
|
control will return to the function which called <tt>glutMainLoop</tt>; otherwise the application will exit.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If the application has two nested calls to <tt>glutMainLoop</tt> and calls
|
|
<tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt>, the behaviour
|
|
of <i>freeglut</i> is undefined. It may leave only the inner nested
|
|
loop or it may leave both loops. If the reader has a strong preference
|
|
for one behaviour over the other he should contact the <i>freeglut</i> Programming
|
|
Consortium and ask for the code to be fixed.

The <tt>glutIdleFunc</tt> function

specifies the function that <i>freeglut</i> will call to perform background
|

processing tasks such as continuous animation when window system events are
|
|
not being received. If enabled, this function is called continuously
|
|
from <i>freeglut</i> while no events are received. The callback function
|
|
has no parameters and returns no value. <i>Freeglut</i> does not change
|
|
the <i>current window</i> or the <i>current menu</i> before invoking the idle
|
|
callback; programs with multiple windows or menus must explicitly set the
|
|
<i>current window</i> and <i>current menu</i>
|
|
and not rely on its current setting. <br/>
|
|
The amount of computation and rendering done in an idle
|
|
callback should be minimized to avoid affecting the program's interactive
|
|
response. In general, no more than a single frame of rendering should
|
|
be done in a single invocation of an idle callback. <br/>
|
|
Calling <tt>glutIdleFunc</tt> with a NULL argument
|

disables the call to an idle callback.

|
|
<p>Application programmers should note that

if they have specified the "continue execution" action on window closure,
|
|
<i>freeglut</i> will continue to call the
|
|
idle callback after the user has closed a window by clicking on the "x" in
|
|
the window header bar. If the idle callback renders a particular window
|
|
(this is considered bad form but is frequently done anyway), the programmer
|
|
should supply a window closure callback for that window which changes or disables
|
|
the idle callback. </p>

|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <tt>glutSpecialUpFunc</tt>function specifies the function that <i>freeglut</i> will call when the
|
|
user releases a special key from the keyboard. The callback function
|
|
has one argument: the name of the function to be invoked ("called back")
|
|
at the time at which the special key is released. The function returns
|
|
no value. <i>Freeglut</i> sets the <i>current window</i> to the window
|
|
which is active when the callback is invoked. "Special keys" are the
|
|
function keys, the arrow keys, the Page Up and Page Down keys, and the Insert
|
|
key. The Delete key is considered to be a regular key. <br/>
|
|
Calling <tt>glutSpecialUpFunc</tt> with a NULL argument
|
|
disables the call to the window's special key release callback. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <tt>key</tt> argument may take one of the following defined constant values: </p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>GLUT_KEY_F1, GLUT_KEY_F2, ..., GLUT_KEY_F12</tt> - F1 through F12 keys</li>

better with various implementations of OpenGL.

<h1>14. <a name="FontRendering"></a>Font Rendering Functions</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<i>Freeglut</i> supports two types of font rendering: bitmap fonts,
|
|
which are rendered using the <tt>glBitmap</tt> function call, and stroke
|
|
fonts, which are rendered as sequences of OpenGL line segments. Because
|
|
they are rendered as bitmaps, the bitmap fonts tend to render more quickly
|
|
than stroke fonts, but they are less flexible in terms of scaling and rendering.
|
|
Bitmap font characters are positioned with calls to the <tt>glRasterPos*</tt>
|
|
functions while stroke font characters use the OpenGL transformations
|
|
to position characters.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
It should be noted that <i>freeglut</i> fonts are similar but not identical to GLUT fonts.
|
|
At the moment, <i>freeglut</i> fonts do not support the "`" (backquote) and
|
|
"|" (vertical line) characters; in their place it renders asterisks.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<i>Freeglut</i> supports the following bitmap fonts:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>GLUT_BITMAP_8_BY_13</tt> - A variable-width font with every character fitting in a rectangle of 13 pixels high by at most 8 pixels wide.</li>
|
|
<li><tt>GLUT_BITMAP_9_BY_15</tt> - A variable-width font with every character fitting in a rectangle of 15 pixels high by at most 9 pixels wide.</li>
|
|
<li><tt>GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_10</tt> - A 10-point variable-width Times Roman font.</li>
|
|
<li><tt>GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_24</tt> - A 24-point variable-width Times Roman font.</li>
|
|
<li><tt>GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_10</tt> - A 10-point variable-width Helvetica font.</li>
|
|
<li><tt>GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_12</tt> - A 12-point variable-width Helvetica font.</li>
|
|
<li><tt>GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_18</tt> - A 18-point variable-width Helvetica font.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<i>Freeglut</i> calls <tt>glRasterPos4v</tt> to advance the cursor by
|
|
the width of a character and to render carriage returns when appropriate.
|
|
It does not use any display lists in it rendering in bitmap fonts.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<i>Freeglut</i> supports
|
|
the following stroke fonts:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>GLUT_STROKE_ROMAN</tt> - A proportionally-spaced Roman Simplex font</li>
|
|
<li><tt>GLUT_STROKE_MONO_ROMAN</tt> - A fixed-width Roman Simplex font</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<i>Freeglut</i> does not use any display lists in its rendering of stroke
|
|
fonts. It calls <tt>glTranslatef</tt> to advance the cursor by the
|
|
width of a character and to render carriage returns when appropriate.

<h2>14.1 glutBitmapCharacter</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|

|
|
character in the <i>current window</i> using the specified font.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Usage</b></p>
|
|
|
|

<p><b>Description</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <tt>glutBitmapCharacter</tt> function renders the given character in the specified bitmap font.
|
|
<i>Freeglut</i> automatically sets the necessary
|
|
pixel unpack storage modes and restores the existing modes when it has finished.
|
|
Before the first call to <tt>glutBitMapCharacter</tt> the application
|
|
program should call <tt>glRasterPos*</tt> to set the position of the character
|
|
in the window. The <tt>glutBitmapCharacter</tt> function advances
|
|
the cursor position as part of its call to <tt>glBitmap</tt> and so the

|
application does not need to call <tt>glRasterPos*</tt> again for successive
|
|
characters on the same line. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Nonexistent characters are rendered as

|
|
|
|
<p>
|

The <tt>glutStrokeLength</tt> function returns the width in pixels of the given character string in

adds the floating-point widths and rounds the funal result to return the

<h1>15. <a name="GeometricObject"></a>Geometric Object Rendering Functions</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<i>Freeglut</i> includes eighteen routines for generating easily-recognizable
|
|
3-d geometric objects. These routines are effectively the same ones
|
|
that are included in the GLUT library, and reflect the functionality available
|
|
in the <i>aux</i> toolkit described in the <i>OpenGL Programmer's Guide</i>
|
|
. They are included to allow programmers to create with a single
|
|
line of code a three-dimensional object which can be used to test a variety
|
|
of OpenGL functionality. None of the routines generates a display list
|
|
for the object which it draws. The functions generate normals appropriate
|
|
for lighting but, except for the teapon functions, do not generate texture
|
|
coordinates. Do note that depth testing (GL_LESS) should be enabled for
|
|
the correct drawing of the nonconvex objects, i.e., the glutTorus,
|
|
glutSierpinskiSponge and glutTeapot.

|
|
|
<p>The <tt>glutWireTeapot</tt> and <tt>

reference]. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Bugs</b></p>
|
|
<p>OpenGL's default <tt>glFrontFace</tt> state assumes that front facing
|
|
polygons (for the purpose of face culling) have vertices that wind
|
|
counter clockwise when projected into window space. This teapot is
|
|
rendered with its front facing polygon vertices winding clockwise. For
|
|
OpenGL's default back face culling to work, you should use:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt> glFrontFace(GL_CW);<br>
|
|
glutSolidTeapot(size);<br>
|
|
glFrontFace(GL_CCW);</tt></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Both these bugs reflect issues in the original aux toolkit's teapot
|
|
rendering routines (GLUT used the same teapot rendering routine).</p>

<h1>16. <a name="GameMode"></a>Game Mode Functions</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>16.1 glutGameModeString</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Specify the display mode that should be entered when GameMode is
|
|
entered. Default is the current display mode of the monitor on which the
|
|
GameMode screen will be opened.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Usage</b><br>
|
|
A string is passed to this function that specifies a combination of
|
|
resolution, pixel depth (ignored on Linux) and refresh rate. Valid
|
|
formats are:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>WxH:D@R</li>
|
|
<li>WxH:D</li>
|
|
<li>WxH@R</li>
|
|
<li>WxH</li>
|
|
<li>:D@R</li>
|
|
<li>:D</li>
|
|
<li>@R</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Where W, H, D and R are placeholders for horizontal resolution, vertical
|
|
resolution, pixel depth and refresh rate respectively, as integers. Note
|
|
the "x", ":" and "@" characters.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>16.2 glutEnterGameMode, glutLeaveGameMode</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Attempt to change to the requested display mode and open the GameMode
|
|
window, or close the GameMode window and return to the original display
|
|
mode.
|
|
For multi-monitor display setups, <i>freeglut</i> can be told on which
|
|
monitor the gamemode window should be opened by providing the
|
|
<tt>-display</tt> command line option to <tt>glutInit</tt>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>16.3 glutGameModeGet</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The following state variables may be queried with <tt>glutGet</tt>.
|
|
The returned value is an integer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
example:<br>
|
|
<tt>int windowLeft = glutGet(GLUT_WINDOW_X);</tt>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>GLUT_GAME_MODE_ACTIVE - 1 if currently in GameMode</li>
|
|
<li>GLUT_GAME_MODE_DISPLAY_CHANGED - 1 if currently in GameMode</li>
|
|
<li>GLUT_GAME_MODE_POSSIBLE - 1 if display mode requested with
|
|
<tt>glutGameModeString</tt> is possible</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
These queries return information about the current display mode if in
|
|
GameMode, or about the requested display mode <u>before</u> entering
|
|
GameMode:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>GLUT_GAME_MODE_WIDTH - (requested) width of GameMode window</li>
|
|
<li>GLUT_GAME_MODE_HEIGHT - (requested) height of GameMode window</li>
|
|
<li>GLUT_GAME_MODE_PIXEL_DEPTH - (requested) pixel depth of GameMode window</li>
|
|
<li>GLUT_GAME_MODE_REFRESH_RATE - (requested) refresh rate of GameMode window</li>
|
|
</ul>

<h1><a name="MultiTouch"></a>MultiTouch Functions</h1>
|
|
|
|
MultiTouch callbacks are used to handle environments with multiple
|
|
inputs, such as a multi-touch screen, multi-touch touchpad, or
|
|
multiple mouses.<br />
|
|
|
|
<h2>glutMultiEntryFunc ← id, GLUT_ENTERED|GLUT_LEFT</h2>
|
|
<h2>glutMultiButtonFunc ← id, x, y, button, GLUT_DOWN|GLUT_UP</h2>
|
|
<h2>glutMultiMotionFunc ← id, x, y</h2>
|
|
<h2>glutMultiPassiveFunc ← id, x, y</h2>
|
|
|
|
These functions work like their non-multi variants, with an additional
|
|
'deviceid' parameter describing the current input device (mouse or
|
|
finger).<br />
|
|
|
|
Exception: in MultiButtonFunc, the order of callback parameters is
|
|
different (x,y,button,state instead of button,state,x,y).<br />
|
|
|
|
Currently, under X11, the non-multi callback variants are also called
|
|
on X11 for each event.<br />
|
|
|
|
Currently, under windows, the first (oldest) touch point also controls
|
|
the mouse cursor, which triggers the non-multi callbacks as
|
|
usual.<br />
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
Limitation: currently on the cursor id is provided. It may be
|
|
desirable to get the device id as well in the following situations:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>Support a 2-fingers gesture such as pinch-to-zoom on the
|
|
touchscreen, while the mouse pointer or touchpad is performing an
|
|
unrelated action, not part of the touchscreen gesture (may not be
|
|
possible on some platforms).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Avoid touch id conflicts between touchscreen and
|
|
touchpad/gamepad on Android; a possible work-around is to shift the
|
|
device id in the touch id.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|

|
<p>Nate Robbins' port of GLUT to win32 did not implement

|
|
platforms to GLUT's behavior on X11.</p>

<h1>20. <a name="UsageNotes"></a>Usage Notes</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p> The following environment variables
|
|
are recognized by <i>freeglut</i>:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>DISPLAY - specifies a display name.</li>
|
|
<li>GLUT_FPS - specifies a time interval
|
|
(in milliseconds) for reporting framerate messages to stderr. For example,
|
|
if FREEGLUT_FPS is set to 5000, every 5 seconds a message will be printed
|
|
to stderr showing the current frame rate. The frame rate is measured by counting
|
|
the number of times glutSwapBuffers() is called over the time interval.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Furthermore, on windows, there is a resource file identifier GLUT_ICON
|
|
that you can specify for your executable file. It specifies the icon
|
|
that goes in the upper left-hand corner of the <i>freeglut</i> windows.
|
|
Your application's resource file should contain the line:<br>
|
|
<tt>GLUT_ICON ICON DISCARDABLE "icon.ico"</tt><br>, where
|
|
icon.ico is the filename of your icon. The One demo includes such an
|
|
icon as an example.

Application programmers who are porting their GLUT programs to <i>freeglut</i> may continue
|
|
to include <tt><GL/glut.h></tt> in their programs.
|
|
Programs which use the <i>freeglut</i>-specific extensions to GLUT should include
|
|
<tt><GL/freeglut.h></tt>. One possible arrangement is as follows:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
#ifdef FREEGLUT
|
|
#include <GL/freeglut_ext.h>
|
|
#else
|
|
#include <GL/glut.h>
|
|
#endif
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
It was initially planned to
|
|
define <code>FREEGLUT_VERSION_2_0</code>, <code>FREEGLUT_VERSION_2_1</code>, <code>FREEGLUT_VERSION_2_2</code>,
|
|
etc., but this was only done for <code>FREEGLUT_VERSION_2_0</code>.
|
|
This constant still exist in current FreeGLUT releases but is
|
|
deprecated.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <i>freeglut</i> version can be queried at runtime by calling
|
|
glutGet(GLUT_VERSION).
|
|
The result will be X*10000+Y*100+Z where X is the major version, Y is the
|
|
minor version and Z is the patch level.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This may be used as follows:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
if (glutGet(GLUT_VERSION) < 20001) {
|
|
printf("Sorry, you need freeglut version 2.0.1 or later to run this program.\n");
|
|
exit(1);
