I also fixed the vsync implementation introduced with rev.11357 that was crashing with the Windows Error #170. So I removed your temporary /* */ around the vsync condition..."
that the windows did not act on repaint request (WM_PAINT, EXPOSE,...)
Detailed explanation:
- I implemented requestRedraw using the push approach (not using
GraphicsWindow::_requestRedraw flag that I was considering) as there may be
multiple viewers reading the flag and fighting to reset it after the paint
request, while some viewers may not spot the request to redraw
- I made windows call GraphicsWindow::requestRedraw when they receive
appropriate message (WM_PAINT, EXPOSE, RESIZE,...)
- There were issues on Linux that windows did not want to close using x
button. Resolved by moving the test for DeleteWindow event from
swapBuffersImplementation() to GraphicsWindowX11::checkEvents(). The difficulty
was that DeleteWindow event is not coming using _eventDisplay, but through
_display.
- The last difficulty was that it is necessary to call
ViewerBase::checkWindowStatus() to set _done to true when all windows are
closed. This did not happened recently in ON_DEMAND run scheme. I put the call
to checkWindowStatus() to eventTraversal.

Stephan: "attached you'll find some modifications to the GraphicsWindow-class and
their platform-dependant implementations.
The problem:
setWindowRectangle and setWindowDecoration do not update the
traits-object, so, if you call setWindowRectangle on a
not-realized-window it will open with another size when realized later.
getWindowRectangle reports possible wrong sizes if setWindowRectangle
called before.
My solution:
split the implementation in two parts:
GraphicsWindow::setWindowRectangle will update its traits-object and
call afterwards the virtual method setWindowRectangleImplementation
(which is implemented by the derived platformspecific classess). For
setWindowDecoration I am useing a similar mechanism.
I hope you'll find the submission useful, the Win32 and X11 changes are
not tested but should work."
Changes to this made by Robert are call of resized in setWindowRectangle
instead of setting of Traits, and use of a bool return type.
window.
The win32 implementation is still in its original shape since I have no win32
implementation available.
I have chosen the enum approach for the first cut. That is benefitial since
the user does not need to track creation of mouse cursors for different
windows and displays in presence of multiple viewer windows.
The default set of available mouse shapes is the same set that was available
with glut. That set served many OpenGL applications well, so the hope is that
this is enough.
Even though, that implementation is still extensible:
I have digged out the way SDL defines new mouse cursors and added a still
documented out function prototype in the GraphicsWindow that can be used to
extend the current implemtation for arbitrary mouse shapes. That is not
implemented yet.
I hope that somebody with a win32 test system can catch up that implementation
on win32."
