Detailed Description

The interface for windowing toolkits.

This class is intended to be overwritten by an (anonymous) class with exactly one static instance. The constructor will register this factory instance for use with the WindowSystem frontend. See glx/windowSystem.cpp for an example.

The implementation provides access to operating system dependent functionality needed by Equalizer, and hides these specifics behind interfaces.

virtual bool eq::WindowSystemIF::setupFont ( util::ObjectManager &  gl, const void *  key, const std::string &  name, const uint32_t  size  ) const

protectedpure virtual

Create a set of display lists for the given font.

The implementation is expected to set up one display list per ASCII character, and store the name of the first list in the given object manager using the given key.

Parameters

gl	the object manager for display list allocation.
key	the key for display list allocation.
name	the name of the font, OS-specific.
size	the font size in points.

Returns

true if the font was created, false otherwise.

Warning

experimental, might not be supported in the future.
