Module nannou::ui::backend::glium::glium::backend[−][src]

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.
