@page moving Moving from GLFW 2 to 3
|
|
|
|
This is a guide for people moving from GLFW 2 to 3. It describes API @em
|
|
changes, but does @em not include entirely new features unless they are required
|
|
when moving an existing code base onto the new API. One example of this is the
|
|
new multi-monitor support, which you are now required to use to create
|
|
fullscreen windows.
|
|
|
|
@section moving_names Library and header names
|
|
|
|
The GLFW 3 header is named @ref glfw3.h, to avoid collisions with the GLFW 2 @c
|
|
glfw.h header, in case they are both installed. Similarly, the GLFW 3 library
|
|
is named @c glfw3, except when it's installed as a shared library on
|
|
Unix-like systems, where it uses the
|
|
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/soname">soname</a> @c libglfw.so.3 .
|
|
|
|
@section moving_threads Removal of threading functions
|
|
|
|
The threading functions have been removed. However, GLFW 3 has better support
|
|
for use from multiple threads than GLFW 2 had. Contexts can be made current on
|
|
and used from secondary threads, and the documentation explicitly states which
|
|
functions may and may not be used from secondary threads.
|
|
|
|
@section moving_image Removal of image and texture loading
|
|
|
|
The image and texture loading support has been removed.
|
|
|
|
@section moving_window_handles Window handles
|
|
|
|
Because GLFW 3 supports multiple windows, window handle parameters have been
|
|
added to all window-related functions and callbacks. Window handles are of the
|
|
@c GLFWwindow* type, i.e. a pointer to an opaque struct.
|
|
|
|
@section moving_monitor Multi-monitor support
|
|
|
|
GLFW 3 provides support for multiple monitors, adding the @c GLFWmonitor* handle
|
|
type and a set of related functions. To request a fullscreen mode window, you
|
|
need to specify which monitor you wish the window to use. There is @ref
|
|
glfwGetPrimaryMonitor that provides something similar to the earlier behaviour.
|
|
|
|
@section moving_window_close Window closing
|
|
|
|
Window closing is now just an event like any other. GLFW 3 windows won't
|
|
disappear from underfoot even when no close callback is set. You can query
|
|
whether the user has requested that the window be closed using the @c
|
|
GLFW_CLOSE_REQUESTED window parameter, or by setting a close callback. The
|
|
return value of the close callback becomes the new value of the window
|
|
parameter.
|
|
|
|
@section moving_context Explicit context management
|
|
|
|
Each GLFW 3 window has its own OpenGL context and only you, the user, can know
|
|
which context should be current on which thread at any given time. Therefore,
|
|
GLFW 3 makes no assumptions about when you want a certain context current,
|
|
leaving that decision to you.
|
|
|
|
This means that you need to call @ref glfwMakeContextCurrent after creating
|
|
a window but before calling any OpenGL functions.
|
|
|
|
@section moving_keys Physical key input
|
|
|
|
GLFW 3 uses the physical key locations named after the symbols they generate
|
|
using the US keyboard layout, instead of layout-dependent characters like in
|
|
GLFW 2. This means that (for example) @c GLFW_KEY_BACKSLASH is always a single
|
|
key and is the same key in the same place regardless of what keyboard layouts
|
|
the users of your program has.
|
|
|
|
GLFW 3 has key tokens for all keys, so instead of trying to remember whether to
|
|
check for @c 'a' or @c 'A', you now check for @c GLFW_KEY_A.
|
|
|
|
The key input facility was never meant for text input, although using it that
|
|
way worked slightly better in GLFW 2. If you were using it to input text, you
|
|
should be using the character callback instead, on both GLFW 2 and 3. This will
|
|
give you the characters being input, as opposed to the keys being pressed.
|
|
|
|
@section moving_video_modes Video mode enumeration
|
|
|
|
Video mode enumeration is now per-monitor. The @c glfwGetDesktopMode function
|
|
has been replaced by @ref glfwGetVideoMode, which returns the current mode of
|
|
a monitor. The @ref glfwGetVideoMode function now returns all available modes
|
|
for a monitor instead of requiring you to guess how large an array you need.
|
|
|
|
@section moving_glu GLU header inclusion
|
|
|
|
Unlike GLFW 2, GLFW 3 doesn't include the GLU header by default, but you can
|
|
make it do so by defining @c GLFW_INCLUDE_GLU before including the GLFW
|
|
3 header.
|
|
|
|
@section moving_cursor Cursor positioning
|
|
|
|
GLFW 3 only allows you to position the cursor within a window (using @ref
|
|
glfwSetCursorPos) when that window is active. Unless the window is active, the
|
|
function fails silently.
