Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2009 12:52:29 +0000 From: Luke Benstead Subject: OpenGL 3.0 Context Creation I've attached a patch which implements OpenGL 3.x context creation on the latest SVN. I've added two options to SDL_GL_SetAttribute, these are SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION and SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION. These default to 2 and 1 respectively. If the major version is less than 3 then the current context creation method is used, otherwise the appropriate new context creation function is called (depending on the platform). Sample code: if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) != 0) { printf("Unable to initialize SDL: %s\n", SDL_GetError()); return 1; } SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION, 3); //Without these 2 lines, SDL will create a GL 2.x context SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION, 0); SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_DOUBLEBUFFER, 1); SDL_Surface* screen = SDL_SetVideoMode( 640, 480, 16, SDL_OPENGL | SDL_FULLSCREEN ); I've implemented context creation on both Win32 and X and run basic tests on both. This patch doesn't provide access to all the options allowed by the new context creation (e.g. shared contexts, forward compatible contexts) but they can be added pretty easily.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Makes sure the given list of rectangles is updated on the given screen\&. The rectangles must all be confined within the screen boundaries (no clipping is done)\&.
.PP
This function should not be called while \fBscreen\fR is \fIlocked\fR\&.

\fBNote:  
.PP
It is adviced to call this function only once per frame, since each call has some processing overhead\&. This is no restriction since you can pass any number of rectangles each time\&.
.PP
The rectangles are not automatically merged or checked for overlap\&. In general, the programmer can use his knowledge about his particular rectangles to merge them in an efficient way, to avoid overdraw\&.
