GLContext (JOGL API -- JSR-231 2.2 Specification)

java.lang.Object
- javax.media.opengl.GLContext

```
public abstract class GLContext
extends Object
```
Abstraction for an OpenGL rendering context. In order to perform OpenGL rendering, a context must be "made current" on the current thread. OpenGL rendering semantics specify that only one context may be current on the current thread at any given time, and also that a given context may be current on only one thread at any given time. Because components can be added to and removed from the component hierarchy at any time, it is possible that the underlying OpenGL context may need to be destroyed and recreated multiple times over the lifetime of a given component. This process is handled by the implementation, and the GLContext abstraction provides a stable object which clients can use to refer to a given context.

public final List<GLContext> getCreatedShares()
```
Returns a new list of created GLContext shared with this GLContext.

getDestroyedShares
```
public final List<GLContext> getDestroyedShares()
```
Returns a new list of destroyed GLContext shared with this GLContext.

getRendererQuirks
```
public final com.jogamp.opengl.GLRendererQuirks getRendererQuirks()
```
Returns the instance of GLRendererQuirks, allowing one to determine workarounds.

Returns:
instance of GLRendererQuirks if context was made current once, otherwise null.

hasRendererQuirk
```
public final boolean hasRendererQuirk(int quirk)
                               throws IllegalArgumentException
```
Returns true if the quirk exist in getRendererQuirks(), otherwise false.
Convenience method for:
```
    final GLRendererQuirks glrq = ctx.getRendererQuirks();
    boolean hasQuirk = null != glrq ? glrq.exist(quirk) : false ;
 
```
Parameters:
quirk - the quirk to be tested, e.g. GLRendererQuirks.NoDoubleBufferedPBuffer.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the quirk is out of range

setGLDrawable
```
public abstract GLDrawable setGLDrawable(GLDrawable readWrite,
                       boolean setWriteOnly)
```
Sets the read/write drawable for framebuffer operations, i.e. reassociation of the context's drawable.
If the arguments reflect the current state of this context this method is a no-operation and returns the old and current GLDrawable.

Remarks:
- glFinish() is issued if context isCreated() and a previous drawable was bound before disassociation.
- If the context was current on this thread, it is being released before drawable reassociation and made current afterwards.
- Implementation may issue makeCurrent() and release() while drawable reassociation.
- The user shall take extra care of thread synchronization, i.e. lock the involved drawable's NativeSurfaces to avoid a race condition. In case auto-drawable's are used, their upstream-lock must be locked beforehand see GLAutoDrawable Locking.
Parameters:
readWrite - The read/write drawable for framebuffer operations, maybe null to remove association.
setWriteOnly - Only change the write-drawable, if setWriteOnly is true and if the read-drawable differs from the write-drawable. Otherwise set both drawables, read and write.

Returns:
The previous read/write drawable

Throws:

GLException - in case null is being passed or this context is made current on another thread.
See Also:
isGLReadDrawableAvailable(), setGLReadDrawable(GLDrawable), getGLReadDrawable(), setGLDrawable(GLDrawable, boolean), getGLDrawable()

getGLDrawable
```
public abstract GLDrawable getGLDrawable()
```
Returns the write-drawable this context uses for framebuffer operations.
If the read-drawable has not been changed manually via setGLReadDrawable(GLDrawable), it equals to the write-drawable (default).

See Also:
setGLDrawable(GLDrawable, boolean), setGLReadDrawable(GLDrawable)

isGLReadDrawableAvailable
```
public abstract boolean isGLReadDrawableAvailable()
```
Query whether using a distinguished read-drawable is supported.

Returns:
true if using a read-drawable is supported with your driver/OS, otherwise false.

setGLReadDrawable
```
public abstract GLDrawable setGLReadDrawable(GLDrawable read)
```
Set the read-Drawable for read framebuffer operations.
The caller should query if this feature is supported via isGLReadDrawableAvailable().
If the context was current on this thread, it is being released before switching the drawable and made current afterwards. However the user shall take extra care that not other thread attempts to make this context current. Otherwise a race condition may happen.

Parameters:
read - the read-drawable for read framebuffer operations. If null is passed, the default write drawable will be set.

Returns:
the previous read-drawable

Throws:

GLException - in case a read drawable is not supported or this context is made current on another thread.
See Also:
isGLReadDrawableAvailable(), getGLReadDrawable()

getGLReadDrawable
```
public abstract GLDrawable getGLReadDrawable()
```
Returns the read-Drawable this context uses for read framebuffer operations.
If the read-drawable has not been changed manually via setGLReadDrawable(GLDrawable), it equals to the write-drawable (default).

See Also:
isGLReadDrawableAvailable(), setGLReadDrawable(GLDrawable), getGLReadDrawable()

makeCurrent
```
public abstract int makeCurrent()
                         throws GLException
```
Makes this GLContext current on the calling thread.
Recursive call to makeCurrent() and hence release() are supported.

There are two return values that indicate success and one that indicates failure.

A return value of CONTEXT_CURRENT_NEW indicates that that context has been made current for the 1st time, or that the state of the underlying context or drawable has changed since the last time this context was current. In this case, the application may wish to initialize the render state.

A return value of CONTEXT_CURRENT indicates that the context has been made current, with its previous state restored.

If the context could not be made current (for example, because the underlying drawable has not ben realized on the display) , a value of CONTEXT_NOT_CURRENT is returned.

This method is blocking, i.e. waits until another thread has released the context.

The drawable's surface is being locked at entry and unlocked at release()
Returns:
- CONTEXT_CURRENT_NEW if the context was successfully made current the 1st time,
- CONTEXT_CURRENT if the context was successfully made current,
- CONTEXT_NOT_CURRENT if the context could not be made current.
Throws:

GLException - if synchronization is disabled and the context is current on another thread, or because the context could not be created or made current due to non-recoverable, window system-specific errors.

release
```
public abstract void release()
                      throws GLException
```
Releases control of this GLContext from the current thread.
Recursive call to release() and hence makeCurrent() are supported.

The drawable's surface is being unlocked at exit, assumed to be locked by makeCurrent().

Throws:

GLException - if the context had not previously been made current on the current thread

copy
```
public abstract void copy(GLContext source,
        int mask)
                   throws GLException
```
Copies selected groups of OpenGL state variables from the supplied source context into this one. The mask parameter indicates which groups of state variables are to be copied. mask contains the bitwise OR of the same symbolic names that are passed to the GL command glPushAttrib. The single symbolic constant GL_ALL_ATTRIB_BITS can be used to copy the maximum possible portion of rendering state.
Not all values for GL state can be copied. For example, pixel pack and unpack state, render mode state, and select and feedback state are not copied. The state that can be copied is exactly the state that is manipulated by the GL command glPushAttrib.
On most platforms, this context may not be current to any thread, including the calling thread, when this method is called. Some platforms have additional requirements such as whether this context or the source context must occasionally be made current in order for the results of the copy to be seen; these requirements are beyond the scope of this specification.

Parameters:
source - the source OpenGL context from which to copy state
mask - a mask of symbolic names indicating which groups of state to copy

Throws:

GLException - if an OpenGL-related error occurred

getCurrentGL
```
public static GL getCurrentGL()
                       throws GLException
```
Returns the GL object bound to this thread current context. If no context is current, throw an GLException

Returns:
the current context's GL object on this thread

Throws:

GLException - if no context is current

hasNoDefaultVAO

public final boolean hasNoDefaultVAO()

Indicates whether this GLContext's native profile does not implement a default vertex array object (VAO), starting w/ OpenGL 3.1 core.

Includes [ GL4, GL3 ].

     Due to GL 3.1 core spec: E.1. DEPRECATED AND REMOVED FEATURES (p 296),
            GL 3.2 core spec: E.2. DEPRECATED AND REMOVED FEATURES (p 331)
     there is no more default VAO buffer 0 bound, hence generating and binding one
     to avoid INVALID_OPERATION at VertexAttribPointer.
     More clear is GL 4.3 core spec: 10.4 (p 307).

     ES 3.x is not included here.
     Due to it's ES 2.0 backward compatibility it still supports the following features:
            client side vertex arrays
            default vertex array object

     Binding a custom VAO with ES 3.0 would cause client side vertex arrays via glVertexPointer
     to produce GL_INVALID_OPERATION.

     However, they are marked deprecated:
            GL ES 3.0 spec F.1. Legacy Features (p 322).
            GL ES 3.1 spec F.1. Legacy Features (p 454).

If no default VAO is implemented in the native OpenGL profile, an own default VAO is being used, see getDefaultVAO().

See Also:: getDefaultVAO()

getDefaultVAO
```
public abstract int getDefaultVAO()
```
If this GLContext does not implement a default VAO, see hasNoDefaultVAO(), an own default VAO will be created and bound at context creation.
If this GLContext does implement a default VAO, i.e. hasNoDefaultVAO() returns false, this method returns 0.

Otherwise this method returns the VAO object name representing this GLContext's own default VAO.
