-First one, what about the integration of glSDL on SDL? When we can download
SDL with glSDL included?
SDL 1.3
-Second one, what about SDL 1.3? where I can download some white papers,
docs, source code or anything related to it?
SDL 1.3 is mostly in experimental phase with support for new things like glSDL,
audio input, etc.
-Last one, what about SDL 2.0? a long time ago… I haven’t listened
anything about it…
grin Been busy with a job and a baby, but Bob Pendleton has put some
effort into working on the multiple-window concept, which was the core
feature for SDL 2.0. I’m not sure what the status is at this point.
I’m not working on it right now. I started back on it in the summer and
then decided to wait until 1.2.9 stabilized. On X I have support for
multiple windows, each can have its own OpenGL context. I do not yet
have support for subwindows. There are some assumptions built in to my
current version that need to be changed. The feed back I got in August
lets me back off of those assumptions.
There are major changes in the set up code to get away from some of the
most FAQ on the list. For example, SetVideoMode is now implemented in
terms of other APIs. It will continue to work as it currently does. But,
it is hoped that people will switch to using a create window API that
will fail if you ask for a video mode not supported in hardware.
Here is my latest API document:
SDL Multiple Window API
Data Type
struct SDL_PrivateWindow;
typedef struct SDL_PrivateWindow *SDL_Window;
SDL_Window SDL_OpenWindow(int width, int height, int bitsperpixel,
Uint32 flags)
Create a new top level window. The flags may be any flags that are legal
for a call to SDL_SetVideoMode() and are subject to the same
restrictions. Unlike SDL_SetVideoMode() this function fails if the
requested window is not supported by the hardware. The available video
modes for a new window may be restricted by the video mode set for the
first window. Returns NULL on failure. If a hardware or software surface
is requested it must be retrieved by a call to SDL_GetWindowSurface().
SDL_Surface *SDL_GetWindowSurface()
Get the video surface for the current hardware or software window.
SDL_Window SDL_OpenChildWindow(SDL_Window parent, int x, int y, int
width, int height)
Create a child window of an existing window. The x and y location is
relative to the upper left hand corner of the parent window. The child
window will have the same depth and other properties as the parent
window.
void *SDL_GetWindowData(SDL_Window w)
void *SDL_SetWindowData(SDL_Window w, void *data)
Store and retrieve the data stored with a window. This allows the
programmer to associate data with a window.
SDL_Window SDL_GetParentWindow(SDL_Window child)
Returns the window ID of the parent window. If the window is a top level
window then it returns NULL;
SDL_Window SDL_GetFirstChildWindow(SDL_Window parent, Uint32 *index)
SDL_Window SDL_GetNextChildWindow(SDL_Window parent, Uint32 *index)
This functions are used to access the children of a specific window.
They return the window ID of each child window. The order in which the
are returned is not necessarily the order in which the were created and
can change. Deleting or creating windows betweens calls to these
functions can change the order and cause some children to be skipped.
Both functions return NULL if all children have been examined. The index
parameter contains state information used by these functions and allows
them to be used in recursive functions that traverse a complete window
tree. Under no circumstances should the index value be relied upon to
have a specific value and it should never be changed by the programmer.
If NULL is passed as the parent parameter then these functions access
the top level windows, i.e. the windows which have no parent.
Example:
SDL_Window w = NULL;
Uint32 index;
for ( w = SDL_GetFirstChildWindow(parent, &index);
w != NULL;
w = SDL_GetNextChildWindow(parent, &index) ) {
/* do something with w */
}
void SDL_CloseWindow(SDL_Window w)
Removes a window from the screen and deletes everything associated with
the window. Works on top level windows and on child windows. All but one
top level window may be freed using this functions. Closing the last top
level window is the same as calling SDL_VideoQuit();
int SDL_SelectWindow(SDL_Window w)
Many SDL functions, especially the SDL_WM functions, SDL_Flip(),
SDL_GL_SwapBuffers(), and all OpenGLfunctions, work only on the video
window returned by SDL_SetVideoMode(). To avoid the need to create
dozens of new functions SDL_SelectWindow() is used to select the current
default window.
int SDL_WM_RaiseWindow()
If possible, raise the window so that it is above all other windows.
int SDL_WM_LowerWindow()
If possible, lower the window so that it is lower all other windows.
int SDL_WM_HideWindow()
int SDL_WM_ShowWindow()
These two functions are used to hide or display a window. This
capability is particularly important for subwindows that are used for
menus and pop ups. They make the current window disappear or appear on
the screen. When a window is shown an expose event will be generated for
that window. You may not hide the main window. The main window may be
iconified but not hidden.
int SDL_WM_DeiconifyWindow()
Restore a window that has been iconified.
int SDL_WM_MoveWindow(int x, int y)
Move the window to a new position. If it is a sub window the location is
relative to the upper left hand corner of the parent window. If it is a
top level window then it is moved relative to the upper left hand corner
of the screen. This function may have no effect on top level windows
because the window manager may override the request.
int SDL_WM_ResizeWindow(int width, int height);
Change the windows size without changing anything else about the window.
After calling this function the new video surface must be retrieved with
a call to SDL_GetWindowSurface().On Sat, 2005-09-10 at 21:11 -0700, Sam Lantinga wrote:
