DirectX (WIN32)

Name

display-directx : DirectX (WIN32)

Synopsis

display-directx:      [ [-inwin=<winid>] [-keepcursor] [-nocursor] [-noinput] [-physz==<sizex>,<sizey>[dpi]] ]

Description

Used for Win32 DirectX port of libGGI.

Options

-inwin=<winid>|root

Run in already-existing window with id :p:`winid`. This can be used to embed a LibGGI application into a DirectX application. The value should be a DirectX window ID expressed as a decimal, hexadecimal or octal number in C syntax. The special string "root" will cause the application to run in the root window. Note that in the root window, you may need to explictly select a LibGII input source using the GGI_INPUT environment variable as Windows will absorb all events sent to the window. When using the root window other features (like direct framebuffer access and video hardware mode selection) may be available which are not available when the application is running in a normal window.

-nocursor, -keepcursor
Normal behavior of display-directx is to create a small dot mouse cursor pixmap which is visible when the mouse is positioned over the window containing the visual. With the former option, the DirectX mouse cursor will be invisible when it is over the visual, with the latter, the cursor from the root window is used unaltered. If both options are supplied, the latter takes precedence. Note, that none of them works with the -inwin option.
-noinput
DirectX events sent to the window are not captured and merged with any other LibGII input sources. This allows one to take input from raw devices without receiving duplicate events should DirectX also be configured to use the device.
-physz==<sizex>,<sizey>[dpi]

This option will override the physical screen size reported by the DirectX, which affects applications which wish to remain resolution independent. :p:`sizex`,:p:sizey are the x,y size of the entire screen (not just the DirectX window containing the visual) in millimeters, unless the optional dpi string is affixed, in which case, they represent resolution in dots-per-inch. Yes, there are two equals signs there, for reasons of compatibility with other targets.
