Magnum::Platform::GlxApplication class

#include <Magnum/Platform/GlxApplication.h>

Bootstrap application

The usage is very similar to Sdl2Application, for which fully contained base application along with CMake setup is available, see its documentation for more information.

General usage

This application library depends on the X11 library and is built if MAGNUM_WITH_GLXAPPLICATION is enabled when building Magnum. To use this library with CMake, request the GlxApplication component of the Magnum package and link to the Magnum::GlxApplication target:

find_package(Magnum REQUIRED GlxApplication)

# ...
target_link_libraries(your-app PRIVATE Magnum::GlxApplication)

Additionally, if you're using Magnum as a CMake subproject, do the following before calling find_package() to ensure it's enabled, as the library is not built by default:

set(MAGNUM_WITH_GLXAPPLICATION ON CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
add_subdirectory(magnum EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)

If no other application is requested, you can also use the generic Magnum::Application alias to simplify porting. See Downloading and building and Usage with CMake for more information.

In C++ code you need to implement at least drawEvent() to be able to draw on the screen. The subclass can be then used directly in main() — see convenience macro MAGNUM_GLXAPPLICATION_MAIN(). See Platform support for more information.

class MyApplication: public Platform::GlxApplication {
    // implement required methods...
};
MAGNUM_GLXAPPLICATION_MAIN(MyApplication)

If no other application header is included, this class is also aliased to Platform::Application and the macro is aliased to MAGNUM_APPLICATION_MAIN() to simplify porting.
