      • glXIsDirect

        public static int glXIsDirect(long display,
                                      long ctx)
        Determines if an OpenGL rendering context is direct.
        Parameters:
        display - the connection to the X server
        ctx - the GLXContext to query
      • glXDestroyContext

        public static void glXDestroyContext(long display,
                                             long ctx)
        Destroys an OpenGL context.

        If ctx is still current to any thread, ctx is not destroyed until it is no longer current. In any event, the associated XID will be destroyed and ctx cannot subsequently be made current to any thread.

        Parameters:
        display - the connection to the X server
        ctx - the GLXContext to destroy
      • glXGetCurrentContext

        public static long glXGetCurrentContext()
        Returns the GLXContext that is current in the current thread.
      • glXGetCurrentDrawable

        public static long glXGetCurrentDrawable()
        Returns the XID of the current drawable used for rendering.
      • glXWaitGL

        public static void glXWaitGL()
        Prevents X requests from executing until any outstanding OpenGL rendering is done.

        OpenGL calls made prior to glXWaitGL are guaranteed to be executed before X rendering calls made after glXWaitGL. While the same result can be achieved using Finish, glXWaitGL does not require a round trip to the server, and is therefore more efficient in cases where the client and server are on separate machines.

      • glXWaitX

        public static void glXWaitX()
        Prevents the OpenGL command sequence from executing until any outstanding X requests are completed.

        X rendering calls made prior to glXWaitX are guaranteed to be executed before OpenGL rendering calls made after glXWaitX. While the same result can be achieved using XSync(), glXWaitX does not require a round trip to the server, and may therefore be more efficient.

      • glXSwapBuffers

        public static void glXSwapBuffers(long display,
                                          long draw)
        For drawables that are double buffered, makes the contexts of the back buffer potentially visible (i.e., become the contents of the front buffer).

        The contents of the back buffer then become undefined. This operation is a no-op if draw was created with a non-double-buffered GLXFBConfig, or if draw is a GLXPixmap.

        Parameters:
        display - the connection to the X server
        draw - a double buffered GLXDrawable
      • glXUseXFont

        public static void glXUseXFont(long font,
                                       int first,
                                       int count,
                                       int list_base)
        Provides a shortcut for using X fonts.
        Parameters:
        font - the font to use
        first - the first glyph in the font to use
        count - the number of display lists to define
        list_base - the base list number
      • glXCreateGLXPixmap

        public static long glXCreateGLXPixmap(long display,
                                              org.lwjgl.system.linux.XVisualInfo visual,
                                              long pixmap)
        Creates a GLXPixmap from a Pixmap.
        Parameters:
        display - the connection to the X server
        visual - a pointer to a XVisualInfo structure
        pixmap - the Pixmap
      • glXDestroyGLXPixmap

        public static void glXDestroyGLXPixmap(long display,
                                               long pixmap)
        Destroys a GLXPixmap.
        Parameters:
        display - the connection to the X server
        pixmap - the GLXPixmap to destroy.
