Member Function Documentation

virtual int Archon::Display::Window::getHeight (   )  [pure virtual]

Get the current width of this window. The returned value will reflect the current height only if you call processEvents regularly. Returns: The height in pixels of the windows contents area. Implements Archon::Display::Drawable. Implemented in Archon::Display::WindowX11.

virtual int Archon::Display::Window::getWidth (   )  [pure virtual]

Get the current width of this window. The returned value will reflect the current width only if you call processEvents regularly. Returns: The width in pixels of the windows contents area. Implements Archon::Display::Drawable. Implemented in Archon::Display::WindowX11.

virtual void Archon::Display::Window::move (  int  left, int  top )  [pure virtual]

Move this window. Parameters: left  Initial horizontal displacement of the left outside edge of the window measured from the left edge of the screen. Increasing this value moves the window further to the right. top  Initial vertical displacement of upper outside edge of the window measured from the top edge of the screen. Increasing this value moves the window further down. Implemented in Archon::Display::WindowX11.

virtual void Archon::Display::Window::processEvents (  EventHandler *  h  )  [pure virtual]

Call this method regularly (at least 10 times per second to get reasonable responsiveness) to process incoming events. Parameters: h  A pointer to your event handler derived from EventHandler. Implemented in Archon::Display::WindowX11.

virtual void Archon::Display::Window::resize (  int  width, int  height )  [pure virtual]

Resize this window. This generates a resize event. Parameters: width  New width in pixels of the windows contents area. height  New height in pixels of the windows contents area. Implemented in Archon::Display::WindowX11.

virtual void Archon::Display::Window::setTitle (  string  title  )  [pure virtual]

Sets a new title in the title bar of this window. Parameters: title  New title. Implemented in Archon::Display::WindowX11.

virtual void Archon::Display::Window::swapBuffers (   )  [pure virtual]

Swap foreground and background buffers. Performs an implicit glFlush() Implemented in Archon::Display::WindowX11.
