README

        
# Dart bindings to [GLFW](http://glfw.org/) 3.2.1.

Supports Linux and Windows. OSX is not supported due to inherent

incompatibilites in the OSX UI threading model, as well as Apple announcing the

discontinuing of support of OpenGL on OSX (https://goo.gl/qQdeQ5).

# Steps to generate the bindings

```shell

mkdir -p lib/src/generated/

pub run tools/glfw_generator.dart --glfw3_path=

clang-format -i --style=Google generated/*.{cc,h}

dartfmt -w generated/*.dart

mv generated/* lib/src/generated

```

# Steps to compile the bindings

The previous method for compiling the bindings is no longer available. We are

working on a new solution for both Linux and Windows.

In the meantime, the Makefile in the lib/ directory is a good starting point for

compiling on Linux.

# Notes about the auto-generated bindings

-   `glfwWindowShouldClose` returns an `int`, rather than a `bool`, but unlike

    in C, the expression `!(1)` returns true so you must explicitly test

    `glfwWindowShouldClose(window) != 1`

    -   There is also a convenience function \

        `bool glfwWindowShouldCloseAsBool(GLFWwindow window)`

# The following functions have changed from the C GLFW API

These changes are due to the C library's use of pointer arguments to return

values. See also lib/src/manual\_bindings.dart.

-   glfwGetVersion

    -   Returns a `GLFWVersion` instance which has `major`, `minor`, `rev`

        fields.

-   glfwGetMonitors

    -   Returns a `List` instance.

-   glfwGetMonitorPos

    -   Returns a `Point` instance.

-   glfwGetMonitorPhysicalSize

    -   Returns a `Rectangle` instance with `xpos` and `ypos` set to 0.

-   glfwGetVideoModes

    -   Returns a `List` instance.

-   glfwGetWindowPos

    -   Returns a `Point` instance.

-   glfwGetWindowSize

    -   Returns a `Rectangle` instance with `xpos` and `ypos` set to 0.

-   glfwGetFramebufferSize

    -   Returns a `Rectangle` instance with `xpos` and `ypos` set to 0.

-   glfwGetWindowFrameSize

    -   Returns a `Rectangle` instance.

-   glfwSetWindowUserPointer

    -   `pointer` parameter is a Dart `Object`.

-   glfwGetWindowUserPointer

    -   Returns an `Object` instance.

-   glfwGetCursorPos

    -   Returns a `Point` instance.

-   glfwGetJoystickAxes

    -   Returns a `List` instance.

-   glfwGetJoystickButtons

    -   Returns a `List` instance.

# The following functions are additions to the C GLFW API

-   glfwSwapBuffersAsync

    -   An async version of glfwSwapBuffers that can be `await`-ed. This avoids

        blocking the current isolate while the glfwSwapBuffers call is waiting

        to finish.
