// Doer is an interface for manipulating OpenGL state.
|
|
//
|
|
// OpenGL is a state machine. Every object can 'enter' it's state and 'leave' it's state. For example,
|
|
// you can bind a buffer and unbind a buffer, bind a texture and unbind it, use shader and unuse it, and so on.
|
|
//
|
|
// This interface provides a clever and flexible way to do it. A typical workflow of an OpenGL object is that
|
|
// you enter (load, bind) that object's state, then do something with it, and then leave the state. That 'something'
|
|
// in between, let's call it sub (as in subroutine).
|
|
//
|
|
// The recommended way to implement a Doer is to wrap another Doer (vertex array wraps texture and so on), let's call
|
|
// it parent. Then the Do method will look like this:
|
|
//
|
|
// func (o *MyObject) Do(sub func(Context)) {
|
|
// o.parent.Do(func(ctx Context) {
|
|
// // enter the object's state
|
|
// sub(ctx)
|
|
// // leave the object's state
|
|
// })
|
|
// }
|
|
//
|
|
// It might seem difficult to grasp this kind of recursion at first, but it's really simple. What it's basically saying
|
|
// is: "Hey parent, enter your state, then let me enter mine, then I'll do whatever I'm supposed to do in the middle.
|
|
// After that I'll leave my state and please leave your state too parent."
|
|
//
|
|
// Also notice, that the functions are passing a Context around. This context contains the most important state variables.
|
|
// Usually, you just pass it as you received it. If you want to pass a changed context to your child (e.g. your a shader),
|
|
// use ctx.With* methods.

|
|
// However, global variables are evil, so we have Context, that transfers important OpenGL state from one object to another.
