/** A higher-level abstraction than {@link GLDrawable} which supplies
    an event based mechanism ({@link GLEventListener}) for performing
    OpenGL rendering. A GLAutoDrawable automatically creates a primary
    rendering context which is associated with the GLAutoDrawable for
    the lifetime of the object.
    

Since the {@link GLContext} {@link GLContext#makeCurrent makeCurrent} implementation is synchronized, i.e. blocks if the context is current on another thread, the internal {@link GLContext} for the GLAutoDrawable can be used for the event based rendering mechanism and by end users directly.

GLAutoDrawable Initialization

The implementation shall initialize itself as soon as possible, which is only possible after the attached {@link javax.media.nativewindow.NativeSurface NativeSurface} becomes visible and and is realized.
The following initialization sequence should be implemented:

  • Create the {@link GLDrawable} with the requested {@link GLCapabilities}
  • Notify {@link GLDrawable} to validate the {@link GLCapabilities} by calling {@link GLDrawable#setRealized setRealized(true)}.
  • Create the new {@link GLContext}.
  • Initialize all OpenGL resources by calling {@link GLEventListener#init init(..)} for all registered {@link GLEventListener}s. This can be done immediately, or with the followup {@link #display display(..)} call.
  • Send a reshape event by calling {@link GLEventListener#reshape reshape(..)} for all registered {@link GLEventListener}s. This shall be done after the {@link GLEventListener#init init(..)} calls.
Note: The last to {@link GLEventListener} actions shall be also performed, when {@link #addGLEventListener(GLEventListener) adding} a new one to an already initialized {@link GLAutoDrawable}.

GLAutoDrawable Reconfiguration

Another implementation detail is the {@link GLDrawable} reconfiguration. One use case is where a window is being dragged to another screen with a different pixel configuration, ie {@link GLCapabilities}. The implementation shall be able to detect such cases in conjunction with the associated {@link javax.media.nativewindow.NativeSurface NativeSurface}.
For example, AWT's {@link java.awt.Canvas} 's {@link java.awt.Canvas#getGraphicsConfiguration getGraphicsConfiguration()} is capable to determine a display device change. This is demonstrated within {@link javax.media.opengl.awt.GLCanvas}'s and NEWT's AWTCanvas {@link javax.media.opengl.awt.GLCanvas#getGraphicsConfiguration getGraphicsConfiguration()} specialization. Another demonstration is NEWT's {@link javax.media.nativewindow.NativeWindow NativeWindow} implementation on the Windows platform, which utilizes the native platform's MonitorFromWindow(HWND) function.
All OpenGL resources shall be regenerated, while the drawable's {@link GLCapabilities} has to be chosen again. The following protocol shall be satisfied.

  • Controlled disposal:
    • Dispose all OpenGL resources by calling {@link GLEventListener#dispose dispose(..)} for all registered {@link GLEventListener}s.
    • Destroy the {@link GLContext}.
    • Notify {@link GLDrawable} of the invalid state by calling {@link GLDrawable#setRealized setRealized(false)}.
  • Controlled regeneration:
    • Create the new {@link GLDrawable} with the requested {@link GLCapabilities}
    • Notify {@link GLDrawable} to revalidate the {@link GLCapabilities} by calling {@link GLDrawable#setRealized setRealized(true)}.
    • Create the new {@link GLContext}.
    • Initialize all OpenGL resources by calling {@link GLEventListener#init init(..)} for all registered {@link GLEventListener}s. This can be done immediatly, or with the followup {@link #display display(..)} call.
    • Send a reshape event by calling {@link GLEventListener#reshape reshape(..)} for all registered {@link GLEventListener}s. This shall be done after the {@link GLEventListener#init init(..)} calls.
Note: Current graphics driver keep the surface configuration for a given window, even if the window is moved to a monitor with a different pixel configuration, ie 32bpp to 16bpp. However, it is best to not assume such behavior and make your application comply with the above protocol.

Avoiding breakage with older applications and because of the situation mentioned above, the boolean system property jogl.screenchange.action will control the screen change action as follows:

    -Djogl.screenchange.action=false Disable the {@link GLDrawable} reconfiguration (the default)
    -Djogl.screenchange.action=true  Enable  the {@link GLDrawable} reconfiguration
    

GLAutoDrawable Locking
GLAutoDrawable implementations perform locking in the following order:
  1. {@link #getUpstreamLock()}.{@link RecursiveLock#lock() lock()}
  2. {@link #getNativeSurface()}.{@link NativeSurface#lockSurface() lockSurface()}
and releases the locks accordingly:
  1. {@link #getNativeSurface()}.{@link NativeSurface#unlockSurface() unlockSurface()}
  2. {@link #getUpstreamLock()}.{@link RecursiveLock#unlock() unlock()}
Above locking order is mandatory to guarantee atomicity of operation and to avoid race-conditions. A custom implementation or user applications requiring exclusive access shall follow the locking order. See:
  • {@link #getUpstreamLock()}
  • {@link #invoke(boolean, GLRunnable)}
  • {@link #invoke(boolean, List)}
