Mesa 7.2 (Default branch)

Mesa is a 3-D graphics library which uses the OpenGL API (Application Programming Interface). Mesa cannot be called an implementation of OpenGL since the author did not obtain an OpenGL license from SGI. Furthermore, Mesa cannot claim OpenGL conformance since the conformance tests are only available to OpenGL licensees. Despite these technical/legal terms, you may find Mesa to be a valid alternative to OpenGL. Most applications written for OpenGL can use Mesa instead without changing the source code. License: OSI Approved Changes:
The OpenGL 2.1 API is now implemented, though some drivers don't support it yet. Support for the Intel G41 chipset was added. Several bugs were fixed. Image

NAME
PDL::Graphics::OpenGL::Perl::OpenGL - PDL TriD OpenGL interface using POGL VERSION
Version 0.01_10 SYNOPSIS
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. You should eventually be able to replace: use PDL::Graphics::OpenGL by use PDL::Graphics::OpenGL::Perl::OpenGL; This module also includes support for FreeGLUT and GLUT instead of X11+GLX as mechanism for creating windows and graphics contexts. EXPORT
See the documentation for the OpenGL module. More details to follow as the refactored TriD module interface and build environment matures FUNCTIONS
TBD TBD new($class,$options,[$window_type]) Returns a new OpenGL object with attributes specified in the options field, and of the 3d window type, if specified. These 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 (disabled) default GLUT callbacks These routines are set as the default GLUT callbacks for when GLUT windows are used for PDL/POGL. Their only function at the moment is to drive an fake XEvent queue to feed the existing TriD GUI controls. At some point, the X11 stuff will the deprecated and we can rewrite this more cleanly. default_options default options for object oriented methods XPending() OO interface to XPending XResizeWindow(x,y) OO interface to XResizeWindow glpXNextEvent() OO interface to glpXNextEvent glpRasterFont() OO interface to the glpRasterFont function AUTOLOAD If the function is not prototyped in OO we assume there is no explicit mention of the three identifying parameters (Display, Window, Context) and try to load the OpenGL function. glXSwapBuffers OO interface to the glXSwapBuffers function AUTHOR
