SWT and LWJGL...

OpenGL Development
#1

Hi everybody,
I don’t know if there’s anybody out there interested in the subject but I added some code to LWJGL 0.8 (leaving its API intact I just extended it) to make it work into a SWT Canvas.
If somebody thinks that’s useful code I can comment it a bit more ;D and release it.
I finished the Windows version of it and the Linux one should be completed in a few days, but I won’t be able to implement a Mac one 'cause I ain’t got a Mac :wink:
Bye,

Nifty. I can see that becoming a popular extension.
How does it work?

Cas :slight_smile:

I’d like a sneak peek too.

Well…it works something like this:

  1. I created a org.lwjgl.opengl.GLCanvas (it’s an extension of a SWT Canvas holding the HGLRC and the hDC).
  2. I created a few native methods to create/dispose contexts and to swap buffers and switch context (i.e. to another canvas).

I tried, even in the C++ code, to be as close to LWJGL-style as possible.
Anyway I can comment the C++ and Java code a bit more and send you all the stuff ;D

Go ahead and post! We’re in a middle of a larger restructuring of the GL extension code, but it could make an interesting addition for the next LWJGL version.

OK…I’m gonna send you the code tomorrow as soon as I’m able to get a couple of examples finished ;D
I have got a very simple one but I’m trying to realise something using SWT layouts.

Xith3d has a similar SWT integration topic as well.
