wxWidgets Discussion Forum

It seems to me you don't #include some required files, like wx/wx.h or wx/wxprec.h . Take a look at samples/minimal to see how they're included. And likely you have not configured well C:B to tell it how to find those headers. Perhaps you want to read some of this post https://forums.wxwidgets.org/v...

It's part of a bitmap font library for OpenGL. On startup, it draws each character into a bitmap, converts it to an image (not sure that's necessary but it was the only way I could get it to work when I wrote the original code 20+ years ago) and then uses it as a texture atlas. OpenGL texture knows...

It seems to me you have more than one wxWidgets set of libraries. And likely you installed the old, but not the new version. It you don't need the old wx anymore, better remove it. Otherwise, you need to inform correctly the linker about what "/bin" dir to search for the new wx libs. Same ...

wxWidgets changed a bit. Too much for C:B 17, specially its "auto config" dialogs and wxSmith.

Here you have more recent info: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=47233

If that is not enough, I advise to ask in the CodeBlocks forum.

Yes, for OGL >1.1 you need to retrieve the pointers you use. Most common "retrievers" are GLEW and GLAD. You can add theirs .h/.cpp to your project, or build a library. (and add it to your project). In their web sites you have more info. Easy: https://glew.sourceforge.net/ More difficult: ...

OpenGL or DirectX is the same grade of difficulty :wink: Just some minor differences. Setting a wxGLCanvas as child of a wxPanel makes sense only if other controls have that panel as parent too, sharing the client area. The OGL samples provided with wxWidgets are for old OGL, except the pyramid samp...

Vulcan is not an simple evolution of OGL. It's a new API designed to offer control (although not total) where OGL doesn't provide it. The world of graphics card vendors is continuosly evolving. Some vendor adds a feature ("extension" in OGL parlance), the rest may add its own, and with tim...

But my main question is what makes working with a graphics library different from working within an OpenGL context in wxWidgets? I will look into it. A transformation (scale, translate, rotate, perspective, shear, blur, etc) can be represented by a matrix. Working with 3D objects, normally a transf...

I don't know how Windows (by the use of Graphics Context) does stippling.
What I know is how OpenGL does:
It uses a 16-bit pattern, where '1' means 'draw this fragment (pixel)' and '0' is 'don't draw'. This pattern repeats along the line.

Can you post an image showing such "moving around" thing?

You can use a detached thread (instead of a joinable one) and comunicate with main thread by wxQueueEvent and some status-flags.

To compile your app with debugging symbols you must add `-g` flag to the compiler command line.

A side note: Using MONOLITHIC=1 was not a good idea, and makes little sense with SHARED=0. I don't use it, so I can't tell if nowadays it's still not a good idea.

Calling a function initialized in another thread is not a good design, just because you should block it from the usage from another control at the same time. Using CallAfter() gives you more chances, but, again, let each thread uses its functions. If you use threads, nomally you want some of an exec...

getline(file, Info) returns the same type as parameter "file", i.e. a istream, which doesn't have an operator to compare with a const char*.

Perhaps you want to compare Info !="";

how does this "space" appear?

Coordinates rounding to integer?
