Hi,

sorry for the late answer. The mainwindow of OpenFlipper is a centrel part of the framework, that is used by various plugins and the rendering nodes. So it is generally a bad idea to replace it. In general this is also not necessary, as it already sets up the context and provides controls to modify it (e.g. multisampling). If you want to render primitives, which are not provided by the already existing object types, you can implement your own objecttype along with a scenegraph node (see e.g. plane object). If you want to write state of the art OpenGL rendering, you might want to look at the new rendering interface. An example is the Plugin-Render-ShaderPipeline.

Best, Jan

Dear all,

I was frustrated last night, because I failed to integrate libQGLViewer into OpenFlipper. It is just a very simple example.

Any ideas? Or, If I want to show up a new window with glutCreateWindow("demo");, where I can draw primitives using OpenGL. How can I do that?

Thanks.
