Provides a set of helper functions and macros to use GLES 2.0 with Evas GL.

This file redefines all the OpenGL-ES 2.0 functions as follow:

#define glFunction  __evas_gl_glapi->glFunction

Extension functions can then be checked for existence simply by writing:

if (glExtensionFunction)
  {
     ...
     glExtensionFunction(...);
     ...
  }

When using Elementary GLView, please include the header file Elementary_GL_Helpers.h instead.

This header file should be included when using Evas GL directly at a low level and with an OpenGL-ES 2.0 context only.

Note:: When this file is included, all glFunctions are now macros, which means that the Evas_GL_API struct can't be used anyore.

#define EVAS_GL_GLES2_API_CHECK ( ) ((__evas_gl_glapi != NULL) && (__evas_gl_glapi->version == EVAS_GL_API_VERSION) && (glActiveTexture))

Macro to check that the GL APIs are properly set (GLES 2.0)

Since :: 2.3.1

#define EVAS_GL_GLES2_USE	(	evasgl,
		context
	)	Evas_GL_API *__evas_gl_glapi = evas_gl_context_api_get(evasgl, context);

Macro to place at the beginning of any function using GLES 2.0 APIs.

Normally, it is necessary to call each function using its pointer as in:

glapi->glFunction();

When using this macro, developers can then call all glFunctions without changing their code:

EVAS_GL_GLES2_USE(evasgl, context); // Add this at the beginning
glFunction(); // All calls 'look' normal

Note:: Please use ELEMENTARY_GLVIEW_USE() instead, when possible.

Since :: 2.3.1

#define EVAS_GL_GLES2_USE_OR_RETURN	(	evasgl,
		context,
		retval
	)

Value:

Evas_GL_API *__evas_gl_glapi = evas_gl_context_api_get(evasgl, context); \
   if (!__evas_gl_glapi) return retval;

Macro to place at the beginning of any function using GLES 2.0 APIs.

This is similar to EVAS_GL_GLES2_USE except that it will return from the function if the GL API can not be used.

Note:: Please use ELEMENTARY_GLVIEW_USE() instead, when possible.

Since :: 2.3.1

#define EVAS_GL_GLOBAL_GLES2_DECLARE ( ) extern Evas_GL_API *__evas_gl_glapi;

Convenience macro to use the GL helpers in simple applications: declare.

EVAS_GL_GLOBAL_GLES2_DECLARE should be used in a global header for the application. For example, in a platform-specific compatibility header file.

To be used with OpenGL-ES 2.0 contexts.

Example of a global header file main.h:

#include <Evas_GL_GLES2_Helpers.h>
// other includes...

EVAS_GL_GLOBAL_GLES2_DECLARE()

// ...

Note:: Please use ELEMENTARY_GLVIEW_USE() instead, when possible.

Since :: 2.3.1

#define EVAS_GL_GLOBAL_GLES2_DEFINE ( ) Evas_GL_API *__evas_gl_glapi = NULL;

Convenience macro to use the GL helpers in simple applications: define.

To be used with OpenGL-ES 2.0 contexts.

Example of a file glview.c:

#include "main.h"
EVAS_GL_GLOBAL_GLES2_DEFINE()

// ...

static inline void
evgl_init(...)
{
   // ...
   evasgl = evas_gl_new(canvas);
   // ...
   ctx = evas_gl_context_version_create(evasgl, NULL, EVAS_GL_GLES_2_X);
   EVAS_GL_GLOBAL_GLES2_USE(evasgl, ctx);
   // ...
}

// ...

#define EVAS_GL_GLOBAL_GLES2_USE	(	evgl,
		ctx
	)	do { __evas_gl_glapi = evas_gl_context_api_get(evgl, ctx); } while (0)

Convenience macro to use the GL helpers in simple applications: use.

This macro will set the global variable holding the GL API so that it's available to the application.

It should be used right after setting up the GL context object.
