◆ addApplicationExtension()

virtual void Ra::Gui::BaseApplication::addApplicationExtension ( )

inlinevirtual

Allow derived applications to add specific extensions to the engine and the base application. Such extensions are expected to be :

specific file loaders
specific plugins
specific global resources needed by the application (Textures, shaders, ...) This method could also be used to populate the engine with systems or with OpenGL related services if this was not already done in the appropriate methods (engineBaseInitialization, engineOpenGLInitialize, initializeGl)
specific renderers (could be added instead when configuring OpenGL)

Ra::Engine::GeometrySystem

The default implementation also configure the time system according to the user requested frame rate (app command line argument -framerate) or to the default 60fps.

◆ initialize()

void Ra::Gui::BaseApplication::initialize	(	const WindowFactory &	factory,
		const glbinding::Version &	glVersion = { 4, 1 } )

Initialize the application, create the Gui and OpenGL environment. The initialization of an application is made in several steps

Create and initialize the engine and its non-OpenGL services
- Once the engine singleton is instanciated, call the BaseApplication's virtual method engineBaseInitialization to populate the engine with the base systems (eg. GeometrySystem) and configure the non-openGL engine services.
Create and initialize the openGL environment
- When the openGL context is ready and bound, call the BaseApplication's virtual method engineOpenGLInitialize (this method is a virtual slot connected to the event Gui::Viewer::requestEngineOpenGLInitialization).
- When the application and its opengl window are ready, call the BaseApplication's virtual method initializeGl (this method is a virtual slot connected to the event Gui::Viewer::glInitialized).
Create Plugin context, load plugins, configure base Radium::IO services
- The plugins located int the registered plugin paths (into the Radium Engine or bundled with the installed application, into paths found in the app configuration file) are loaded automatically.
- The Radium::IO services compiled into the Radium bundle are configured (file loaders)
- After plugins and default services are configured, call the BaseApplication's virtual method addApplicationExtension.
Manage scene related command-line argument
- loads the given scene, ...

Parameters

factory	: a functor that instanciate the mainWindow
glVersion	: glbinding::Version of the requested OpenGL Version. If no version is given, the default recommended version for Radium (4.1) will be requested.

Note: The initialize method call virtual methods on the object being initialized to configure the engine and application services. When redefining those methods, it is recommended to call the inherited one to have consistent initialization wrt the BaseApplication ancestor. The initialize method could be also overloaded by derived classes. In this case, it is recommended that the overload explicetely call the ancestor method..

Todo: allow the user to ask for some "standard" systems to be added to the initialized Engine.

Todo: Code updated wrt camera manager, TEST IT !
