esnosy / minimal_window Goto Github PK

Hi @iyadahmed, note the name clash with another NanoGUI: https://github.com/wjakob/nanogui (old version) and https://github.com/mitsuba-renderer/nanogui (new version)

1- The window does no update unless maximized or resized
2- The window closes whenever any keyboard button is pressed (this is just because of the switch case)

I don't have access to a mac but maybe GNUstep will help

Filling a screen with color and leaving 10 pixels, you can see the entire screen still gets filled until you increase that 10 to 25 or so

on Wayland everything works as expected

on Win32 maybe we need to handle WM_MOVE and redrawing the window inside that,
but the problem is that handling the move event (even right now with the default handler) is blocking,

so even if we redraw the window, the user code isn't executing and isn't producing new frames, so it needs more thinking

Currently the window only updated when needed by operating system, so it is only good for static results, but not animation, we could either:
1- Update the window every frame (damaging Win32 window or Wayland surface etc.)
2- Provide the update as a function for user for example minimal_window_update)
