Magnum::Platform::WindowlessIosContext class
#include <Magnum/Platform/WindowlessIosApplication.h>

Windowless iOS context.

GL context using EAGL on iOS, used in WindowlessIosApplication. Does not have any default framebuffer.

Meant to be used when there is a need to manage (multiple) GL contexts manually. See Manually managing windowless contexts for more information. If no other application header is included, this class is also aliased to Platform::WindowlessGLContext.

Public types

class Configuration: Configuration.

auto glContext() -> EAGLContext* new in Git master: Underlying OpenGL context.

Function documentation

Magnum::Platform::WindowlessIosContext::WindowlessIosContext(const Configuration& configuration, GLContext* context = nullptr) explicit

Constructor.

Parameters
configuration	Context configuration
context	Optional Magnum context instance constructed using NoCreate to manage driver workarounds

Once the context is created, make it current using makeCurrent() and create Platform::GLContext instance to be able to use Magnum.

Magnum::Platform::WindowlessIosContext::WindowlessIosContext(NoCreateT) explicit

Construct without creating the context.

Move a instance with created context over to make it usable.

Magnum::Platform::WindowlessIosContext::~WindowlessIosContext()

Destructor.

Destroys the context, if any.

bool Magnum::Platform::WindowlessIosContext::makeCurrent()

Make the context current.

Prints error message and returns false on failure, otherwise returns true. If the context is current on another thread, you have to release() it there first — an OpenGL context can't be current in multiple threads at the same time.

bool Magnum::Platform::WindowlessIosContext::release() new in Git master

Release current context.

Releases a context previously made current using makeCurrent(). Prints error message and returns false on failure, otherwise returns true.

EAGLContext* Magnum::Platform::WindowlessIosContext::glContext() new in Git master

Underlying OpenGL context.

Use in case you need to call EAGL functionality directly or in order to create a shared context. Returns nullptr in case the context was not created yet.
