Description
A CoglContext is the top most sandbox of Cogl state for an application or toolkit. Its main purpose is to act as a sandbox for the memory management of state objects. Normally an application will only create a single context since there is no way to share resources between contexts.
For those familiar with OpenGL or perhaps Cairo it should be understood that unlike these APIs a Cogl context isn't a rendering context as such. In other words Cogl doesn't aim to provide a state machine style model for configuring rendering parameters. Most rendering state in Cogl is directly associated with user managed objects called pipelines and geometry is drawn with a specific pipeline object to a framebuffer object and those 3 things fully define the state for drawing. This is an important part of Cogl's design since it helps you write orthogonal rendering components that can all access the same GPU without having to worry about what state other components have left you with.
Cogl does not maintain internal references to the context for resources that depend on the context so applications. This is to help applications control the lifetime a context without us needing to introduce special api to handle the breakup of internal circular references due to internal resources and caches associated with the context. One a context has been destroyed then all directly or indirectly dependant resources will be in an inconsistent state and should not be manipulated or queried in any way. For applications that rely on the operating system to clean up resources this policy shouldn't affect them, but for applications that need to carefully destroy and re-create Cogl contexts multiple times throughout their lifetime (such as Android applications) they should be careful to destroy all context dependant resources, such as framebuffers or textures etc before unrefing and destroying the context.
Functions
cogl_is_context ()
CoglBool
cogl_is_context (void *object
);
Gets whether the given object references an existing context object.
Since: 1.10
Stability Level: Unstable
cogl_context_new ()
CoglContext * cogl_context_new (CoglDisplay *display
,CoglError **error
);
Creates a new CoglContext which acts as an application sandbox for any state objects that are allocated.

Since: 1.8
Stability Level: Unstable
cogl_context_get_display ()
CoglDisplay *
cogl_context_get_display (CoglContext *context
);
Retrieves the CoglDisplay that is internally associated with the
given context
. This will return the same CoglDisplay that was
passed to cogl_context_new()
or if NULL
was passed to
cogl_context_new()
then this function returns a pointer to the
display that was automatically setup internally.
Since: 1.8
Stability Level: Unstable
cogl_has_feature ()
CoglBool cogl_has_feature (CoglContext *context
,CoglFeatureID feature
);
Checks if a given feature
is currently available
Cogl does not aim to be a lowest common denominator API, it aims to expose all the interesting features of GPUs to application which means applications have some responsibility to explicitly check that certain features are available before depending on them.
Since: 1.10
Stability Level: Unstable
cogl_has_features ()
CoglBool cogl_has_features (CoglContext *context
,...
);
Checks if a list of features are all currently available.
This checks all of the listed features using cogl_has_feature()
and
returns TRUE
if all the features are available or FALSE
otherwise.
Since: 1.10

mask, and if
that includes the color buffer then the specified color
is used.

cogl_read_pixels ()
void cogl_read_pixels (int x
,int y
,int width
,int height
,CoglReadPixelsFlags source
,CoglPixelFormat format
,uint8_t *pixels
);
cogl_read_pixels
has been deprecated since version 1.16 and should not be used in newly-written code.
Use cogl_framebuffer_read_pixels()
instead
This reads a rectangle of pixels from the current framebuffer where position (0, 0) is the top left. The pixel at (x, y) is the first read, and the data is returned with a rowstride of (width * 4).
Currently Cogl assumes that the framebuffer is in a premultiplied
format so if format
is non-premultiplied it will convert it. To
read the pixel values without any conversion you should either
specify a format that doesn't use an alpha channel or use one of
the formats ending in PRE.
Parameters
x |
The window x position to start reading from |
|
y |
The window y position to start reading from |
|
width |
The width of the rectangle you want to read |
|
height |
The height of the rectangle you want to read |
|
source |
Identifies which auxillary buffer you want to read (only COGL_READ_PIXELS_COLOR_BUFFER supported currently) |
|
format |
The pixel format you want the result in (only COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBA_8888 supported currently) |
|
pixels |
The location to write the pixel data. |
cogl_flush ()
void
cogl_flush (void
);
This function should only need to be called in exceptional circumstances.
As an optimization Cogl drawing functions may batch up primitives internally, so if you are trying to use raw GL outside of Cogl you stand a better chance of being successful if you ask Cogl to flush any batched geometry before making your state changes.
It only ensure that the underlying driver is issued all the commands necessary to draw the batched primitives. It provides no guarantees about when the driver will complete the rendering.
This provides no guarantees about the GL state upon returning and to avoid confusing Cogl you should aim to restore any changes you make before resuming use of Cogl.
If you are making state changes with the intention of affecting Cogl drawing primitives you are 100% on your own since you stand a good chance of conflicting with Cogl internals. For example clutter-gst which currently uses direct GL calls to bind ARBfp programs will very likely break when Cogl starts to use ARBfb programs itself for the material API.
