Method Details

getInstance

public static ALcdGLBinding getInstance()

Obtains an instance of "com.luciad.internal.view.opengl.binding.lwjgl.TLinLWJGLBinding"

After the first time an instance has been requested, this method will always return the same instance.

Returns:

a new instance of ALcdGLBinding

Throws:

TLcdGLNoBindingError - when no OpenGL binding is available

getGLDrawableFactory

public abstract ILcdGLDrawableFactory getGLDrawableFactory()

Returns a GLDrawable factory for this OpenGL binding.

Returns:

a GLDrawable factory for this OpenGL binding

getBufferFactory

public abstract ILcdGLBufferFactory getBufferFactory()

Deprecated.

Please use OpenGL API entry points that accept NIO buffers or primitive arrays as input

Returns a buffer factory that is compatible with this OpenGL binding.

Returns:

a buffer factory instance

getName

public abstract String getName()

Returns a human readable name of the OpenGL binding.

Specified by:

getName in interface com.luciad.internal.view.bindings.ILcdBinding

Returns:

a human readable name of the OpenGL binding

isAvailable

public abstract boolean isAvailable()

Determines whether this OpenGL binding can be used on this system. Typically this method will check for the availability of native libraries, required classes, etc..

Specified by:

isAvailable in interface com.luciad.internal.view.bindings.ILcdBinding

Returns:

true if this binding can be used; false otherwise

getNIOBufferFactory

public TLcdGLNIOBufferFactory getNIOBufferFactory()

Returns a factory object that creates NIO buffers which are compatible with this binding. Clients should use this factory to allocate all buffers that are provided as parameters to OpenGL calls. This ensures that the buffers meet any requirements imposed by a particular OpenGL binding with regards to heap vs. direct buffers or byte ordering.

Returns:

a factory for NIO buffers
