PDL::Graphics::TriD::GL(3pm)

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 GLFW, GLUT, X11+GLX, etc, as the mechanism for creating windows and graphics contexts.

CONFIG
Defaults to using OpenGL::GLFW - override by setting the environment variable "POGL_WINDOW_TYPE" to "glut", "x11" , or the default is "glfw". 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:

glfw - use Perl OpenGL bindings and GLFW windows (no Tk)
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)
