Window handles</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga3c96d80d363e67d13a41b5d1821f3242">GLFWwindow</a> object encapsulates both a window and a context. They are created with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga5c336fddf2cbb5b92f65f10fb6043344">glfwCreateWindow</a> and destroyed with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#gacdf43e51376051d2c091662e9fe3d7b2">glfwDestroyWindow</a> (or <a class="el" href="group__init.html#gaaae48c0a18607ea4a4ba951d939f0901">glfwTerminate</a>, if any remain). As the window and context are inseparably linked, the object pointer is used as both a context and window handle.</p>

||
|
|
<h1><a class="anchor" id="window_creation"></a>
|
||
|
|
Window creation</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>The window and its context are created with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga5c336fddf2cbb5b92f65f10fb6043344">glfwCreateWindow</a>, which returns a handle to the created window object. For example, this creates a 640 by 480 windowed mode window:</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__window.html#ga3c96d80d363e67d13a41b5d1821f3242">GLFWwindow</a>* window = <a class="code" href="group__window.html#ga5c336fddf2cbb5b92f65f10fb6043344" title="Creates a window and its associated context.">glfwCreateWindow</a>(640, 480, <span class="stringliteral">"My Title"</span>, NULL, NULL);</div>
|
||
|
|
</div><!-- fragment --><p>If window creation fails, <code>NULL</code> will be returned, so you need to check whether it did.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This handle is then passed to all window related functions, and is provided to you along with input events, so you know which window received the input.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To create a full screen window, you need to specify which monitor the window should use. In most cases, the user's primary monitor is a good choice. For more information about monitors, see the <a class="el" href="monitor.html">Multi-monitor guide</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__window.html#ga3c96d80d363e67d13a41b5d1821f3242">GLFWwindow</a>* window = <a class="code" href="group__window.html#ga5c336fddf2cbb5b92f65f10fb6043344" title="Creates a window and its associated context.">glfwCreateWindow</a>(640, 480, <span class="stringliteral">"My Title"</span>, <a class="code" href="group__monitor.html#ga721867d84c6d18d6790d64d2847ca0b1" title="Returns the primary monitor.">glfwGetPrimaryMonitor</a>(), NULL);</div>
|
||

|
</div><!-- fragment --><p>Full screen windows cover the entire display area of a monitor, have no border or decorations, and change the monitor's resolution to the one most closely matching the requested window size.</p>

<h1><a class="anchor" id="window_destruction"></a>

Window destruction</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you are done with the window, destroy it with the <a class="el" href="group__window.html#gacdf43e51376051d2c091662e9fe3d7b2">glfwDestroyWindow</a> function.</p>
|
||

|
||
|
|
</div><!-- fragment --><p>Once this function is called, no more events will be delivered for that window and its handle becomes invalid.</p>

|
||
|
|
Window creation hints</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>There are a number of hints that can be set before the creation of a window and context. Some affect the window itself, others affect the framebuffer or context. These hints are set to their default values each time the library is initialized with <a class="el" href="group__init.html#ga317aac130a235ab08c6db0834907d85e">glfwInit</a>, can be set individually with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga4fd9e504bb937e79588a0ffdca9f620b">glfwWindowHint</a> and reset all at once to their defaults with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#gaa77c4898dfb83344a6b4f76aa16b9a4a">glfwDefaultWindowHints</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that hints need to be set <em>before</em> the creation of the window and context you wish to have the specified attributes.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2><a class="anchor" id="window_hints_hard"></a>
|
||
|
|
Hard and soft constraints</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Some window hints are hard constraints. These must match the available capabilities <em>exactly</em> for window and context creation to succeed. Hints that are not hard constraints are matched as closely as possible, but the resulting window and context may differ from what these hints requested. To find out the actual attributes of the created window and context, use the <a class="el" href="group__window.html#gacccb29947ea4b16860ebef42c2cb9337">glfwGetWindowAttrib</a> function.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following hints are hard constraints:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>GLFW_STEREO</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>GLFW_CLIENT_API</code></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following additional hints are hard constraints if requesting an OpenGL context:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><code>GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE</code></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Hints that do not apply to a given type of window or context are ignored.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2><a class="anchor" id="window_hints_wnd"></a>
|
||
|
|
Window related hints</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>GLFW_RESIZABLE</code> hint specifies whether the window will be resizable <em>by the user</em>. The window will still be resizable using the <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga371911f12c74c504dd8d47d832d095cb">glfwSetWindowSize</a> function. This hint is ignored for full screen windows.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>GLFW_VISIBLE</code> hint specifies whether the window will be initially visible. This hint is ignored for full screen windows.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>GLFW_DECORATED</code> hint specifies whether the window will have window decorations such as a border, a close widget, etc. This hint is ignored for full screen windows. Note that even though a window may lack a close widget, it is usually still possible for the user to generate close events.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2><a class="anchor" id="window_hints_fb"></a>
|
||
|
|
Framebuffer related hints</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>GLFW_RED_BITS</code>, <code>GLFW_GREEN_BITS</code>, <code>GLFW_BLUE_BITS</code>, <code>GLFW_ALPHA_BITS</code>, <code>GLFW_DEPTH_BITS</code> and <code>GLFW_STENCIL_BITS</code> hints specify the desired bit depths of the various components of the default framebuffer.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>GLFW_ACCUM_RED_BITS</code>, <code>GLFW_ACCUM_GREEN_BITS</code>, <code>GLFW_ACCUM_BLUE_BITS</code> and <code>GLFW_ACCUM_ALPHA_BITS</code> hints specify the desired bit depths of the various components of the accumulation buffer.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>GLFW_AUX_BUFFERS</code> hint specifies the desired number of auxiliary buffers.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>GLFW_STEREO</code> hint specifies whether to use stereoscopic rendering.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>GLFW_SAMPLES</code> hint specifies the desired number of samples to use for multisampling. Zero disables multisampling.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>GLFW_SRGB_CAPABLE</code> hint specifies whether the framebuffer should be sRGB capable.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>GLFW_REFRESH_RATE</code> hint specifies the desired refresh rate for full screen windows. If set to zero, the highest available refresh rate will be used. This hint is ignored for windowed mode windows.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2><a class="anchor" id="window_hints_ctx"></a>
|
||
|
|
Context related hints</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>GLFW_CLIENT_API</code> hint specifies which client API to create the context for. Possible values are <code>GLFW_OPENGL_API</code> and <code>GLFW_OPENGL_ES_API</code>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR</code> and <code>GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR</code> hints specify the client API version that the created context must be compatible with.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For OpenGL, these hints are <em>not</em> hard constraints, as they don't have to match exactly, but <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga5c336fddf2cbb5b92f65f10fb6043344">glfwCreateWindow</a> will still fail if the resulting OpenGL version is less than the one requested. It is therefore perfectly safe to use the default of version 1.0 for legacy code and you may still get backwards-compatible contexts of version 3.0 and above when available.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>While there is no way to ask the driver for a context of the highest supported version, most drivers provide this when you ask GLFW for a version 1.0 context.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For OpenGL ES, these hints are hard constraints.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If an OpenGL context is requested, the <code>GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT</code> hint specifies whether the OpenGL context should be forward-compatible, i.e. one where all functionality deprecated in the requested version of OpenGL is removed. This may only be used if the requested OpenGL version is 3.0 or above. If another client API is requested, this hint is ignored.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If an OpenGL context is requested, the <code>GLFW_OPENGL_DEBUG_CONTEXT</code> hint specifies whether to create a debug OpenGL context, which may have additional error and performance issue reporting functionality. If another client API is requested, this hint is ignored.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If an OpenGL context is requested, the <code>GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE</code> hint specifies which OpenGL profile to create the context for. Possible values are one of <code>GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE</code> or <code>GLFW_OPENGL_COMPAT_PROFILE</code>, or <code>GLFW_OPENGL_ANY_PROFILE</code> to not request a specific profile. If requesting an OpenGL version below 3.2, <code>GLFW_OPENGL_ANY_PROFILE</code> must be used. If another client API is requested, this hint is ignored.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <code>GLFW_CONTEXT_ROBUSTNESS</code> hint specifies the robustness strategy to be used by the context. This can be one of <code>GLFW_NO_RESET_NOTIFICATION</code> or <code>GLFW_LOSE_CONTEXT_ON_RESET</code>, or <code>GLFW_NO_ROBUSTNESS</code> to not request a robustness strategy.</p>

Window close flag</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>When the user attempts to close the window, for example by clicking the close widget or using a key chord like Alt+F4, the <em>close flag</em> of the window is set. The window is however not actually destroyed and, unless you watch for this state change, nothing further happens.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The current state of the close flag is returned by <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga24e02fbfefbb81fc45320989f8140ab5">glfwWindowShouldClose</a> and can be set or cleared directly with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga49c449dde2a6f87d996f4daaa09d6708">glfwSetWindowShouldClose</a>. A common pattern is to use the close flag as a main loop condition.</p>

Window framebuffer size</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>While the size of a window is measured in screen coordinates, OpenGL works with pixels. The size you pass into <code>glViewport</code>, for example, should be in pixels and not screen coordinates. On some platforms screen coordinates and pixels are the same, but this is not the case on all platforms supported by GLFW. There is a second set of functions to retrieve the size in pixels of the framebuffer of a window.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you wish to be notified when the framebuffer of a window is resized, whether by the user or the system, you can set the size callback with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga3203461a5303bf289f2e05f854b2f7cf">glfwSetFramebufferSizeCallback</a>.</p>

Swapping buffers</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>GLFW windows are always double buffered. That means that you have two rendering buffers; a front buffer and a back buffer. The front buffer is the one being displayed and the back buffer the one you render to.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When the entire frame has been rendered, it is time to swap the back and the front buffers in order to display what has been rendered and begin rendering a new frame. This is done with <a class="el" href="group__context.html#ga15a5a1ee5b3c2ca6b15ca209a12efd14">glfwSwapBuffers</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__context.html#ga15a5a1ee5b3c2ca6b15ca209a12efd14" title="Swaps the front and back buffers of the specified window.">glfwSwapBuffers</a>(window);</div>
|
||
|
|
</div><!-- fragment --><p>Sometimes it can be useful to select when the buffer swap will occur. With the function <a class="el" href="group__context.html#ga6d4e0cdf151b5e579bd67f13202994ed">glfwSwapInterval</a> it is possible to select the minimum number of monitor refreshes the driver should wait before swapping the buffers:</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__context.html#ga6d4e0cdf151b5e579bd67f13202994ed" title="Sets the swap interval for the current context.">glfwSwapInterval</a>(1);</div>
|
||
|
|
</div><!-- fragment --><p>If the interval is zero, the swap will take place immediately when <a class="el" href="group__context.html#ga15a5a1ee5b3c2ca6b15ca209a12efd14">glfwSwapBuffers</a> is called without waiting for a refresh. Otherwise at least interval retraces will pass between each buffer swap. Using a swap interval of zero can be useful for benchmarking purposes, when it is not desirable to measure the time it takes to wait for the vertical retrace. However, a swap interval of one lets you avoid tearing.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that not all OpenGL implementations properly implement this function, in which case <a class="el" href="group__context.html#ga6d4e0cdf151b5e579bd67f13202994ed">glfwSwapInterval</a> will have no effect. Some drivers also have user settings that override requests by GLFW. </p>
