The solution for to refactor the way that events are checked so I add a bool return type to checkEvents() method across osgViewer::GraphcisWindow, osgGA::Devive and osgViewer::Viewer/CompositeViewer classes
Added template readFile(..) function to make it more convinient to cast to a specific object type.
Added support for osgGA::Device to osgViewer.
Added sdl plugin to provides very basic joystick osgGA::Device integration.
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.
