vgui_Foo_adaptor

Note that this is the only class that you have to implement in order to use VGUI tableaux. The other classes are needed if you want to use the VGUI pattern to create menus and dialog boxes.

This class is derived from vgui_adaptor. It translates events for the OpenGL drawing area into vgui_events. The most important functions to provide are :

• a function or functions dealing with mapping events from Foo's event system into vgui_events e.g. in FLTK an Fl_Gl_Window has a single handle method that can be overridden while in Motif several callback functions must be provided for the drawing widget including exposure, resize and input.

  NOTE. If ``Foo'' is some interface derived from X such as Motif or the Athena widget set then the functions in vgui_X/vgui_X_utils may be useful for converting between XEvents and vgui_events.

  Once a vgui_event has been constructed it should be sent to the non-virtual vgui_adaptor function ::dispatch.

• ::make_current: Override the vgui_adaptor function ::make_current.

• ::swap_buffers: Override the vgui_adaptor function ::swap_buffers.

• ::update: Override the vgui_adaptor::update method so that it looks like:

  
  
  foo_draw could either be a member function of Foo's OpenGL widget that needs overriding like FLTK's Fl_Gl_Window::draw method or just a convenient function like vgui_Xm_adaptor::draw.
