Want to share JOGL Port of TWL

I have ported TWL:Theme Widget Library to work with NEWT & jogl.

I am saying porting, since I had to change keyCodes and modify some widget event handlers along with writing jogl renderer and input processor.

The eclipse project with demo is available at github.

So if you want to use TWL in jogl projects feel free to use it, since TWL works perfectly with JOGL and is extremely powerful (try running tests).

Please share your experience or query if any.

Hi

Great job! Do you plan a way of using it with GLWindow instead of only NewtCanvasAWT? Would you like to use Maven on the long term?

Hi Julien,
I am already using GLWindow

GLWindow window = GLWindow.create(caps);
window.setUndecorated(true);
window.addGLEventListener(this);
this.root=root;
this.useEffects=useEffects;
Dimension canvasSize = new Dimension(width, height);
// Use the newt/awt bridge to allow us to use swing gui elements
// and the fast rendering capabilities of NEWT
this.canvas = new NewtCanvasAWT(window);
pnlRoot.add(canvas, BorderLayout.CENTER);
// create an animator to animated the canvas
this.animator = new FPSAnimator(window, FPS, true);
this.setVisible(true);	
this.animator.start();

I have't used maven ever, will be very glad if someone converts it to maven project

Yes but as far as I know, I can't use your project without NewtCanvasAWT, am I wrong?

Is there any problem with newtcanvasawt?
The baseclass for all demo is at test\newt\newtframe.java,
You can check there , the way I created display. I havt used glwindow alone. Is there any better way??

Here is a PR to build with maven.

The project builds but none of the demos run. The way you load source files in the demo is impossible to make work if you package the jogl-twl as a jar file (as it should be IMHO). So you probably need to invent some other way to include the source files.

Anyway, it's a start if you want to go down the maven way. Which I think you should if you want other people to use the library.

NewtCanvasAWT requires AWT, which is absent under Android. I'll see what I can do.

That's jmaasing who did the conversion to Maven.

Maybe you could update the screen capture in order to show your library in action rather than the original version using another binding. Good job anyway.

Thanks for helping out.
Would u pls verify if latest version works fine?

By the way, the new screen capture is better :)

This kind of thing is a very bad idea:
https://github.com/maheshkurmi/jogl-twl-maven/blob/master/jogl-twl-maven/jogl-twl/src/main/java/de/matthiasmann/twl/GUI.java#L175
https://github.com/maheshkurmi/jogl-twl-maven/blob/master/jogl-twl-maven/jogl-twl/src/main/java/de/matthiasmann/twleffects/jogl/JOGLEffectsRenderer.java#L49

You shouldn't store the GL instance into a static variable as you might use it when the OpenGL context isn't current (which doesn't work) and it could become invalid after you stored it (which would drive it unusable too).

Moreover, you assume that you get a GL2 context, maybe you could relax this constraint.

Finally, please allow to pass a GLWindow directly instead of forcing the use of NewtCanvasAWT:
https://github.com/maheshkurmi/jogl-twl-maven/blob/master/jogl-twl-maven/jogl-twl/src/main/java/de/matthiasmann/twl/input/jogl/JOGLInput.java#L30
In my humble opinion, this constructor shouldn't even exist, a developer could still pass NewtCanvas.getNEWTChild() to the constructor that I suggest you to add.
