eglCreateWindowSurface

EGLSurface eglCreateWindowSurface(	EGLDisplay display,
	EGLConfig config,
	NativeWindowType native_window,
	EGLint const * attrib_list);

 

Parameters

display

Specifies the EGL display connection.

config

Specifies the EGL frame buffer configuration that defines the frame buffer resource available to the surface.

native_window

Specifies the native window.

attrib_list

Specifies window surface attributes. May be NULL or empty (first attribute is EGL_NONE).

Description

eglCreateWindowSurface creates an EGL window surface and returns its handle. If eglCreateWindowSurface fails to create a window surface, EGL_NO_SURFACE is returned.

Surface attributes are specified as a list of attribute-value pairs, terminated with EGL_NONE. Accepted attributes are:

EGL_RENDER_BUFFER

Specifies which buffer should be used for client API rendering to the window. If its value is EGL_SINGLE_BUFFER, then client APIs should render directly into the visible window. If its value is EGL_BACK_BUFFER, then client APIs should render into the back buffer. The default value of EGL_RENDER_BUFFER isEGL_BACK_BUFFER.

Client APIs may not be able to respect the requested rendering buffer. To determine the actual buffer being rendered to by a context, call eglQueryContext.

EGL_VG_ALPHA_FORMAT

Specifies how alpha values are interpreted by OpenVG when rendering to the surface. If its value is EGL_VG_ALPHA_FORMAT_NONPRE, then alpha values are not premultipled. If its value is EGL_VG_ALPHA_FORMAT_PRE, then alpha values are premultiplied. The default value of EGL_VG_ALPHA_FORMAT isEGL_VG_ALPHA_FORMAT_NONPRE.

EGL_VG_COLORSPACE

Specifies the color space used by OpenVG when rendering to the surface. If its value is EGL_VG_COLORSPACE_sRGB, then a non-linear, perceptually uniform color space is assumed, with a corresponding VGImageFormat of form VG_s*. If its value is EGL_VG_COLORSPACE_LINEAR, then a linear color space is assumed, with a corresponding VGImageFormat of form VG_l*. The default value of EGL_VG_COLORSPACE is EGL_VG_COLORSPACE_sRGB.

Any EGL rendering context that was created with respect to config can be used to render into the surface. Use eglMakeCurrent to attach an EGL rendering context to the surface.

Use eglQuerySurface to retrieve the ID of config.

Use eglDestroySurface to destroy the surface.
