Re: [paragui-users] a REALLY odd (but probably sensible) question about OpenGL and paragui (and some status updates)

The OpenGL thing is truely a very sensible issue.
Currently there isn't a satisfactory solution :((

Don't think so.
I've been thinking about something like a PG_OpenGLCanvas.
This kind of object sould work like a container widget (e.g. PG_Widget,
PG_Window,...) and blit all child widgets to a GL texture. Unfortunately
a day is limited to 24 hours,... :)
I also think that thins kind of widget could not be done without
changing the API (or breaking binary compatibility) -> Must be done int
1.1.x
Another things is that i don't use OpenGL (and probably won't do so in
future).

It should be done by someone would really needs the OpenGL stuff.

Sure. Any improvements are welcome :))

Currently not. Obviously nobody needed that till now.

Hmm. This one should be fixed for 1.0.2/1.1.0. When does it crash ? By
embedding a pgmpeg object into a window ?

Please be more precise. We want to know all cases :))
