A view of a 3D model using GtkGLArea
GtkGLArea is an OpenGL context provider for GTK+. It can be used in several ways:
- using the
GtkGLArea
widget, a simple OpenGL rendering canvas similar in use toGtkDrawingArea
. - using a
GdkGLContext
to add an OpenGL context to almost any existing drawable widget. - using a
GdkGLPixmap
for off-screen rendering to pixmap objects.
GtkGLArea was originally developed in 1999 by J. Löf. Xavier Ordoquy became maintainer of the package until 2003. In 2006, C.J. Adams-Collier took over the role, joined by Sam Hocevar in 2007.
Development takes place in the GNOME Git repository:
- Web interface: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gtkglarea/
- Git URL:
git://git.gnome.org/gtkglarea
Version 2.1 plans to provide OS X support.
The use of Cairo and Glitz drawing surface is being considered as an OS-agnostic alternative to the GLX, WGL, AGL mess that has been used until now.
