Module glium::backend

The backend module allows one to link between glium and the OpenGL context..

There are three concepts in play:

• The Backend trait describes the glue between glium and the OpenGL context provider like glutin, SDL, GLFW, etc.
• The Context struct is the main brick of glium. It manages everything that glium needs to execute OpenGL commands. Creating a Context requires a Backend.
• The Facade trait. Calling functions like VertexBuffer::new requires passing an object that implements this trait. It is implemented on Rc<Context>.

Modules

• glutin
  Backend implementation for the glutin library

Structs

• Context
  Stores the state and information required for glium to execute commands. Most public glium functions require passing a Rc<Context>.

Enums

• ReleaseBehavior
  Defines what happens when you change the current context.

Traits

• Backend
  Trait for types that can be used as a backend for a glium context.
• Facade
  Trait for types that provide a safe access for glium functions.
