OpenGL and Vulkan support for AWT with LWJGL 3.
Support for OpenGL:
- creating OpenGL 3.0 and 3.2 core/compatibility contexts (including debug/forward compatible)
- OpenGL ES contexts
- floating-point and sRGB pixel formats
- multisampled framebuffers (also with different number of color samples - Nvidia only)
- v-sync/swap control
- context flush control
- robust buffer access (with application/share-group isolation)
- sync'ing buffer swaps over multiple windows and cards - Nvidia only
- delay before swap - Nvidia only
Because there is currently no other way to use OpenGL or Vulkan with AWT.
In order to create an OpenGL 3.3 core profile context with 4 sample MSAA, use:
JFrame frame = new JFrame("AWT test");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
GLData data = new GLData();
data.majorVersion = 3;
data.minorVersion = 3;
data.profile = GLData.Profile.CORE;
data.samples = 4;
frame.add(new AWTGLCanvas(data) {
public void initGL() {
}
public void paintGL() {
}
});JFrame frame = new JFrame("AWT test");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
VkInstance instance = ...; // <- Vulkan instance created somewhere else
VKData data = new VKData();
data.instance = instance; // <- set Vulkan instance
frame.add(new AWTVKCanvas(data) {
public void initVK() {
long surface = this.surface;
// Do something with surface...
}
public void paintVK() {
}
