WindowProperties

class WindowProperties

A container for the various kinds of properties we might ask to have on a graphics window before we open it. This also serves to hold the current properties for a window after it has been opened.

void output(std::ostream &out) const

Sets any properties that are explicitly specified in other on this object. Leaves other properties unchanged.

void set_cursor_filename(Filename const &cursor_filename)

Specifies the file that contains the icon to associate with the mouse cursor when it is within the window (and visible).

void set_cursor_hidden(bool cursor_hidden)

Specifies whether the mouse cursor should be visible.

static void set_default(WindowProperties const &default_properties)

Replaces the “default” WindowProperties with the specified structure. The specified WindowProperties will be returned by future calls to get_default(), until clear_default() is called.

Note that this completely replaces the default properties; it is not additive.

void set_fixed_size(bool fixed_size)

Specifies whether the window should be resizable by the user.

void set_foreground(bool foreground)

Specifies whether the window should be opened in the foreground (true), or left in the background (false).

void set_fullscreen(bool fullscreen)

Specifies whether the window should be opened in fullscreen mode (true) or normal windowed mode (false, the default).

void set_icon_filename(Filename const &icon_filename)

Specifies the file that contains the icon to associate with the window when it is minimized.

void set_minimized(bool minimized)

Specifies whether the window should be created minimized (true), or normal (false).

void set_mouse_mode(WindowProperties::MouseMode mode)

Specifies the mode in which the window is to operate its mouse pointer.

M_absolute: the normal mode in which a mouse pointer operates, where the mouse can move outside the window and the mouse coordinates are relative to its position in the window.

M_relative (OSX or Unix/X11 only): a mode where only relative movements are reported; particularly useful for FPS-style mouse movements where you have hidden the mouse pointer and are are more interested in how fast the mouse is moving, rather than precisely where the pointer is hovering.

This has no effect on Windows. On Unix/X11, this requires the Xxf86dga extension to be available.

M_confined: this mode reports absolute mouse positions, but confines the mouse pointer to the window boundary. It can portably replace M_relative for an FPS, but you need to periodically move the pointer to the center of the window and track movement deltas.

void set_open(bool open)

Specifies whether the window should be open. It is legal to create a GraphicsWindow in the closed state, and later request it to open by changing this flag.

void set_origin(LPoint2i const &origin)
void set_origin(int x_origin, int y_origin)

Specifies the origin on the screen (in pixels, relative to the top-left corner) at which the window should appear. This is the origin of the top- left corner of the useful part of the window, not including decorations.

void set_parent_window(std::size_t parent)
void set_parent_window(WindowHandle *parent_window = nullptr)

Specifies the window that this window should be attached to. If this is NULL or unspecified, the window will be created as a toplevel window on the desktop; if this is non-NULL, the window will be bound as a child window to the indicated parent window.

You should use GraphicsPipe::make_window_handle() to create an instance of a WindowHandle object given an appropriate OS-specific window handle representation. Each OS-specific GraphicsPipe class defines a make_window_handle() method that returns an appropriate WindowHandle object to wrap the particular OS-specific representation.

Specifies the window that this window should be attached to.

This is a deprecated variant on this method, and exists only for backward compatibility. Future code should use the version of set_parent_window() below that receives a WindowHandle object; that interface is much more robust.

In this deprecated variant, the actual value for “parent” is platform- specific. On Windows, it is the HWND of the parent window, cast to an unsigned integer. On X11, it is the Window pointer of the parent window, similarly cast. On OSX, this is the NSWindow pointer, which doesn’t appear to work at all.

void set_raw_mice(bool raw_mice)

Specifies whether the window should read the raw mouse devices.

void set_size(LVector2i const &size)
void set_size(int x_size, int y_size)

Specifies the requested size of the window, in pixels. This is the size of the useful part of the window, not including decorations.

void set_title(std::string const &title)

Specifies the title that should be assigned to the window.

void set_undecorated(bool undecorated)

Specifies whether the window should be created with a visible title and border (false, the default) or not (true).

void set_z_order(WindowProperties::ZOrder z_order)

Specifies the relative ordering of the window with respect to other windows. If the z_order is Z_top, the window will always be on top of other windows; if it is Z_bottom, it will always be below other windows. Most windows will want to be Z_normal, which allows the user to control the order.

static WindowProperties size(LVecBase2i const &size)
static WindowProperties size(int x_size, int y_size)

Returns a WindowProperties structure with only the size specified. The size is the only property that matters to buffers.

Deprecated: in the Python API, use WindowProperties(size=(x, y)) instead.
