Hi
I am having trouble using the swt GLCanvas while on linux. If I use the provided Snippet209
http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.swt.git/tree/examples/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet209.java
I get 100% CPU utilization. The code is clearly structured to cause this high utilitzation. It does (from the main method)
display.asyncExec(new Runnable() {
int rot = 0;
public void run() {
// draw stuff
display.asyncExec(this);
}
});
Which means that it busy loops drawing as fast as it can.
When I try to convert the snippet to draw on PaintEvents, the opengl drawing that I do is immediatedly klobbered with something that draws plain black.
Does anyone have any luck using the swt GLCanvas on linux? Busy looping won't work for my application, most of the time, the display should be static and not consume CPU.
I've attached the PaintEvent version as DemoSWT2.
thanks
Steven

Oh, I have a solution. It looks like the swt GLCanvas is doing GTK double buffering. The associated gtk buffer swap hammered my drawing. With the following change, the code seems fine now
