The original * rationale for the display object in fact was to let us handle GLX * and EGLs requirements that framebuffers must be "compatible" with * the config associated with the current context meaning we have to * force the user to describe how they would like to create their * onscreen windows before we can choose a suitable fbconfig and * create a GLContext. */ typedef struct _CoglDisplay CoglDisplay; #define COGL_DISPLAY(OBJECT) ((CoglDisplay *)OBJECT) /** * cogl_display_new: * @renderer: A #CoglRenderer * @onscreen_template: A #CoglOnscreenTemplate * * Explicitly allocates a new #CoglDisplay object to encapsulate the * common state of the display pipeline that applies to the whole * application. * * Many applications don't need to explicitly use * cogl_display_new() and can just jump straight to cogl_context_new() * and pass a %NULL display argument so Cogl will automatically * connect and setup a renderer and display. * * A @display can only be made for a specific choice of renderer which * is why this takes the @renderer argument. * * A common use for explicitly allocating a display object is to * define a template for allocating onscreen framebuffers which is * what the @onscreen_template argument is for, or alternatively * you can use cogl_display_set_onscreen_template(). * * When a display is first allocated via cogl_display_new() it is in a * mutable configuration mode.
