# A sample Magnum + wxWidgets C++ project
Those packages and tools are used to build this project.
- [mosra/magnum: Lightweight and modular C++11 graphics middleware for games and data visualization](https://github.com/mosra/magnum)
- [wxWidgets/wxWidgets: Cross-Platform GUI Library](https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets)
- [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/), this contains the compiler suite(mingw-w64 gcc compiler), and many prebuild libraries.
- [eranif/wx-config-msys2: wx-config tool for MSYS2 based installation of wxWidgets using the mingw64 repository](https://github.com/eranif/wx-config-msys2)
- [Code::Blocks IDE](https://www.codeblocks.org/), the `.cbp` file should be opened by this IDE.
# How to build
First, you have [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) installed in your Windows.
The wxWidgets library could be installed by such commands in the msys2 shell.
~~~~
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-wxmsw3.1
~~~~
And the Magnum library should also be installed by the commands
~~~~
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-magnum
~~~~
In the root folder, there is a file named `wx-config-msys2.exe`, which I built from the project: [eranif/wx-config-msys2: wx-config tool for MSYS2 based installation of wxWidgets using the mingw64 repository](https://github.com/eranif/wx-config-msys2). The `wx-config-msys2.exe` will be called when you click the "Build" button in Code::Blocks to generate the correct build options.
The source code is mainly modified from this magnum example code:
https://github.com/mosra/magnum-examples/blob/master/src/mouseinteraction/MouseInteractionExample.cpp
Also, the wxWidgets code is modified and redesigned from magnum's wxWidgets bootstrap code:
https://github.com/mosra/magnum-bootstrap/tree/base-wxwidgets
# The result application
# The current issue(as 2021-08-01, this issue is fixed now by using the arcball example code from magnum example)
The mouse scroll event works OK(see `void GLPanel::OnMouseScroll(wxMouseEvent &event)` function), so when you scroll up/down with the mouse's wheel, you can zoom in/out the scene.
The key press handling works OK(see `void GLPanel::OnKeyDown(wxKeyEvent &event)` function), when you press the "0" key, the scene/camera will get reset, when you press the "1", "3" or "7" key, the scene/camera will go to the preset positions.
But it looks like the mouse left button drag does not rotate the scene correctly(see `void GLPanel::OnMouseMove(wxMouseEvent &event)` function), compared with Magnum's official webgl demos here: [Mouse Interaction Example](https://magnum.graphics/showcase/mouseinteraction/), also the right mouse button drag is not working, it should translate the screne/camera.
