CGFapplication Class Reference

Main class for an application where you can add scenes, interfaces and manage other aspects of the application. More...

#include <CGFapplication.h>

Public Member Functions
void	init (int *, char **)
	Initial method, should be called from main and have (argc, argv) passed through.
void	run ()
	Main application loop; should be called after initializing and setting the active scene and interface using setScene() and setInterface()
void	setScene (CGFscene *gls)
	Associates the provided scene with the application, and initializes it.
void	setInterface (CGFinterface *gli)
	Associates the provided interface with the application and the previously associated scene, and initializes it.
int	getMainWindow ()
	Returns the OpenGL handle to the main application window.
void	forceRefresh ()
	Forces the application to refresh, including updating the viewports and corresponding projection matrices.

Static Public Member Functions
static void	snapshot ()
	Takes a snapshot of the application window and stores it in PNG format in the working directory, with a timestamp.
static unsigned long	getTime ()
	Returns the current time in milliseconds to be used in time-based updates and other actions. The time base may vary from platform to platform, can be from a specific date, or from the start of the application.

Static Public Attributes
static float	xy_aspect = 0
	Aspect ratio of the application window.
static int	width = 0
	Width of the application window.
static int	height = 0
	Height of the application window.
static int	vpx = 0
static int	vpy = 0
static int	vpw = 0
static int	vph = 0
	Viewport coordinates and dimensions within the application window, excluding the interface area.
static CGFapplication *	activeApp = NULL

Protected Member Functions
void	activate ()
void	environmentInit ()
	Called at the end of init(), it sets the default OpenGL parameters, such as culling, depth testing, etc. (which can later be overriden by CGFscene::init() ).
void	updateScene ()

Static Protected Member Functions
static void	gluiIdleFunction (void)
	Static idle handler to be registered in GLUT/GLUI. It is responsible to route execution to any handlers specific of the active application, scene and/or interface.
static void	reshape (int, int)
	Static reshape handler to be registered in GLUT/GLUI. It is responsible to handle reshape in terms of application, and to update the active camera of the active scene.
static void	display ()
	Static display handler to be registered in GLUT/GLUI. It is responsible to route execution to the active scene's CGFscene::display() handler.

Protected Attributes
CGFscene *	app_scene
CGFinterface *	app_interface

Static Protected Attributes
static int	app_window = 0
static bool	refreshRequested =false
