How to refer GL context in AWT Mouse Event

I have to convert local coordinate to global one when Mouse Event happens.
Then I have to refer GL context in AWT EVENT THREAD.
How can I do it? any reference?

Regards,

Hi

As I told you on StackOverflow, you shouldn't even try to do so, it's a bad idea, it would require to make the OpenGL context current on the AWT thread in your mouse event and release it when you're done, you should rather use GLAutoDrawable.invoke(boolean, GLRunnable) instead.

Please show some source code, I'm not sure that you really need a GL context to perform your conversion.

By the way, some engines store and treat the mouse and key events at a more appropriate time (not directly in the listeners) to solve this kind of problem.

I am very sorry for me too late.
I'd been in hospital cause of my stomach ulcer.

code skel is


public class MyPanel extends GLJPanel implements GLEventListener, MouseListener {
    MouseEvent mouseEvent = null;
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
        if(SwingUtilities.isLeftMouseButton(e)) {
            mouseEvent = e;
            repaint();
        }
    }
    public void display(GLAutoDrawable arg0) {
        GL2 gl2 = arg0.getGL().getGL2();
        if (mouseEvent != null) {
            pickup(mouseEvent, gl2, glu);
            mouseEvent = null;
        } else {
         ...
        }
    }
    private void pickup(MouseEvent e, GL2 gl, GLUgl2 glu) {
        int x = e.getX();
        int y = e.getY();
        DoubleBuffer model = DoubleBuffer.allocate(16);
        DoubleBuffer proj = DoubleBuffer.allocate(16);
        IntBuffer view = IntBuffer.allocate(4);
        gl.glGetDoublev(GL2.GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, model);
        gl.glGetDoublev(GL2.GL_PORJECTION_MATRIX, proj);
        gl.glGetIntegerv(GL2.GL_VIEWPORT, view);
       DoubleBuffer loc = DoubleBuffer.allocate(3);
       FloatBuffer z = FloatBuffer.allocate(1);
       gl.glReadPixels(x, view.get(3)-y-1, 1, 1, GL2.GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL2.GL_FLOAT, z);
       glu.gluUnProject(x, view.get(3)-y-1, z.get(0), model, proj, view, loc);
       DisplayCompartment selected = getDisplayCompartment(loc.get(0), loc.get(1), loc.get(2));
       if (selected != null) {
         selected.setSelected(true);
         repaint();
       }
    }
}


I got a problem using Mac Book Pro.
As a local coordinate leaves the starting point,
the return Global Coord is differ.
Another mac, Mac Book Air and Mini I'd tested,
the problem does not occur.
So, the way to unproject I'd written could be doubtful, I thought.

I should be very much obliged if you teach me good solution method.

Why do you need to call repaint()?

 When mouse clicked, I have to change the color of selected DisplayCompartment.
getDisplayCompartment() also do it.

I made a mistake.
DisplayCompartment#setSelected() do it.

You should create a Runnable to call repaint() and pass this runnable to SwingUtilities.invokeLater(). Moreover, creating a buffer at each call of glReadPixels is a bad idea, create a direct NIO buffer once and reuse it.

I am sorry, but can I refer the GL Context in SwingUtilities#invokeLater()?

like,

class MouseWorker extends Runnable {
  private MouseEvent mouseEvent;
  private GL2 gl;
  MouseThread(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
     this.mouseEvent = mouseEvent;
  }
  void setGL2(GL2 gl) {
    this.gl = gl;
  }
  public void run() {
     int x = mouseEvent.getX(), y = mouseEvent.getY();
     NIO nio = getNIO();
     gl.glGetDoublev(GL2.GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, nio.model);
     gl.glGetDoublev(GL2.GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX, nio.proj);
     gl.glGetIntegerv(GL2.GL_VIEWPORT, noi.view);
     gl.glReadPixels(x, nio.view.get(3)-y-1, 1, 1, GL2.GL_DEPTH_COMPONENt, GL2.GL_FLOAT, nio.z);
     glu.gluUnProject(x, nio.view.get(3)-y-1, z.get(0), nio.model,nio.proj,nio.view,nio.loc);
     DisplayCompartment selected = getDisplayCompartment(nio.loc.get(0),nio.loc.get(1),nio.loc.get(2));
     if (selected != nulll) {
       setSelected(selected);
       this.MyPanel.repaint();
     }
  }
}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
   Runnable r = new MouseWorker(e);
   SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
}

You mean like this?
or am i confused?

I meant that you could use a Runnable that just calls repaint() and nothing else.

I can try it.
thank you.
But the problem i face, the difference of local coordination to global one.
As far as the local mouse pointed from the origin of the local coord,
with using Mac Book Pro returns invalid global coord
How can i tell you,

regards,

Maybe you should take into account the scale when HiDpi is enabled.

Dear gouessej,

I am very afraid to say, I have to check if the HiDPI mode is enabled and
scale like
 int x = mouseEvent.getX();
 int y = mouseEvent.getY();
 if (isOSX() && isHiDPIenabled() && isHiDPImode()) {
   x = x / 2;
   y = y / 2;
 }

I have to do like this?
or do you have cool and generic answers?

Maybe you can disable HiDpi as a first step to see whether it affects your code:
https://github.com/gouessej/Ardor3D/blob/master/ardor3d-jogl-awt/src/main/java/com/ardor3d/framework/jogl/awt/JoglAwtCanvas.java#L65

You can call ScalableSurface.getCurrentSurfaceScale() to get the surface scale, note that GLJPanel implements this interface.

Thank you for you answer.

Then i should wrote like

public void mousePressed(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
   float[] scale = new float[2];
   /*void*/getCurrentSurfaceScale(scale);
   float x = scale[0] * mouseEvent.getX();
   float y = scale[1] * mouseEvent.getY();
   setMousePressedLocation(x,y);
}


by the way,
can I refer GL context in SwingUtilities#invokeLater()
how can i use it safely ?

}

It makes sense. It seems to be correct.

No you can't use a GL instance in SwingUtilities.invokeLater(). Rather call GLAutoDrawable.invoke(boolean, GLRunnable). You mustn't store any GL instance in non local variables or fields. If you use an invalidated GL instance or if you use it when the OpenGL context isn't current on the current thread, bad things will happen.

Dear gouessej,

thank you very much.
thank you!

You're welcome.

Keep in mind that this workaround might become useless with Java 1.9 on other platforms:
http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/263

Dear gouessej,

Is it difficult to implement like GLJComponent#setHiDPIMouseEventBehavior(enum MouseEventBehavior) ?

I am very happy if I can use GLJPanel.setHiDPIMouseEventBehavior(MouseEventBehavior.SCALED);;
only once at creation time.


I will be happy, how about you?

regards,

I know the rumors of Java9,
and I am expecting 1.9.

i am afraid that whether it is portable feasible
on different systems.
