| # OpenGL usage |
| How to set up openGL using plugins in such a way that they can |
| render to an on-screen window, or offscreen equally? |
| |
| eg: |
| superfoo3d ! glwindow |
| or |
| superfoo3d ! gloffscreen ! xvideowindow |
| |
| This would imply that there is some mime type which connects a glwindow/gloffscreen and a GL using component sensibly. I don't see that there is any actual |
| data to send, however - the only purpose of the glwindow/gloffscreen is to |
| set up an openGL context and then 'output' it somehow one the superfoo3d has |
| finished drawing each frame. |
| |
| In the case of glwindow, 'output' it means translate into an on-screen window, |
| but for gloffscreen it means produce a video packet and go. |
| |
| These components really need some other 2 way communication, rather than the |
| pads metaphor, I think? |
