Multi-Window examples
Examples of how to use multiple WorldWind globes in the same application.
Applications using multiple World Wind windows simultaneously should instruct World Wind to share OpenGL and other
resources among those windows. Most World Wind classes are designed to be shared across {@link
gov.nasa.worldwind.WorldWindow} objects and will be shared automatically. But OpenGL resources are not automatically
shared. To share them, a reference to a previously created WorldWindow must be specified as a constructor argument
for subsequently created WorldWindows.
Most World Wind {@link gov.nasa.worldwind.globes.Globe} and {@link gov.nasa.worldwind.layers.Layer} objects can be
shared among WorldWindows. Those that cannot be shared have an operational dependency on the WorldWindow they're
associated with. An example is the {@link gov.nasa.worldwind.layers.ViewControlsLayer} layer for on-screen
navigation. Because this layer responds to input events within a specific WorldWindow, it is not sharable. Refer to
the World Wind Overview page for a list of layers that cannot be shared.
