NAME
PDL::Graphics::TriD::GL - PDL TriD OpenGL interface using POGL
DESCRIPTION
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.
It defines an interface that subclasses will conform to, implementing support for GLUT, X11+GLX, etc, as mechanism for creating windows and graphics contexts.
CONFIG
Defaults to using OpenGL::GLUT - override by setting the environment variable POGL_WINDOW_TYPE to x11 (the default is glut). This is implemented by PDL::Graphics::TriD::Window::gdriver.
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
default_options
default options for object oriented methods
swap_buffers
OO interface to swapping frame buffers
set_window
OO interface to setting the display window (if appropriate)
