/**
* Indicates to GLDrawable implementations whether the
* underlying {@link NativeSurface surface} has been created and can be drawn into.
*
* If realized, the {@link #getHandle() drawable handle} may become
* valid while it's {@link NativeSurface surface} is being {@link NativeSurface#lockSurface() locked}.
*
*
* End users do not need to call this method; it is not necessary to
* call setRealized on a {@link GLAutoDrawable}
* as these perform the appropriate calls on their underlying GLDrawables internally.
*
*
* Developers implementing new OpenGL components for various window
* toolkits need to call this method against GLDrawables obtained
* from the GLDrawableFactory via the
* {@link GLDrawableFactory#createGLDrawable(NativeSurface)} method.
* It must typically be
* called with an argument of true when the component
* associated with the GLDrawable is realized and with an argument
* of false just before the component is unrealized.
* For the AWT, this means calling setRealized(true) in
* the addNotify method and with an argument of
* false in the removeNotify method.
*
*
* GLDrawable implementations should handle multiple
* cycles of setRealized(true) /
* setRealized(false) calls. Most, if not all, Java
* window toolkits have a persistent object associated with a given
* component, regardless of whether that component is currently
* realized. The GLDrawable object associated with a
* particular component is intended to be similarly persistent. A
* GLDrawable is intended to be created for a given
* component when it is constructed and live as long as that
* component. setRealized allows the
* GLDrawable to re-initialize and destroy any
* associated resources as the component becomes realized and
* unrealized, respectively.
*
*
* With an argument of true,
* the minimum implementation shall call
* {@link NativeSurface#lockSurface() NativeSurface's lockSurface()} and if successful:
*
* - Update the {@link GLCapabilities}, which are associated with
* the attached {@link NativeSurface}'s {@link AbstractGraphicsConfiguration}.
* - Release the lock with {@link NativeSurface#unlockSurface() NativeSurface's unlockSurface()}.
*
* This is important since {@link NativeSurface#lockSurface() NativeSurface's lockSurface()}
* ensures resolving the window/surface handles, and the drawable's {@link GLCapabilities}
* might have changed.
*
*
* Calling this method has no other effects. For example, if
* removeNotify is called on a Canvas implementation
* for which a GLDrawable has been created, it is also necessary to
* destroy all OpenGL contexts associated with that GLDrawable. This
* is not done automatically by the implementation.
*
* @see #isRealized()
* @see #getHandle()
* @see NativeSurface#lockSurface()
