Hi, im new to JOGL and was wondering if its possible to get a object from the GLCanvas (or some other defined object)
to use for drawing.

Example:

drawSomething(something)
       myPredefinedGLObject.glBegin()
       myPredefinedGLObject.glVertex2d(something)
       myPredefinedGLObject.glEnd()


OR
drawSomething(something)
      GL gl = myPredefinedObject.getGL()
      .......
     .......

Instead of using
display(GLAutoDrawable glDrawable)
      ......


The reason for me asking is abstraction. I want to use a drawable interface with methods for drawing different shapes.
Then i can implement a Android drawable, OpenGL drawable ... whatever drawable and use this without thinking about the graphic engine behind.

Kind regards Tor Einar
