The general::InitGL functor and prce::InitCEGUI functor are quite important.  These initializations are OpenGL specific, and must occur within a thread with the right OpenGL context.  The Producer::RenderSurface can execute one-time initializations if you add them to be called upon window realization.  Actually, a lot is happening here in the Application's constructor.  You might be able to imagine how OpenGL is initialized, so I'll skip that for now.  The Camera's draw callbacks are very important, but first I want to show an example of initializing CEGUI:
 +
 +
#include <CEGUISystem.h>
 +
#include <renderers/OpenGLGUIRenderer/openglrenderer.h>
 +
#include <CEGUIScriptModule.h>
 +
#include <CEGUIFontManager.h>
 +
 +
#include "InitCEGUI.h"
 +
 +
using namespace prce;
 +
 +
InitCEGUI::InitCEGUI(const std::string& font, CEGUI::ScriptModule* s): _sm(s), _font(font)
 +
{
 +
}
 +
 +
InitCEGUI::~InitCEGUI()
 +
{
 +
}
 +
 +
void InitCEGUI::operator ()(const Producer::RenderSurface& rs)
 +
{
 +
  if( _sm )
 +
    new CEGUI::System( new CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer(0), _sm );
 +
  else
 +
    new CEGUI::System( new CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer(0) );
 +
 +
  CEGUI::FontManager* fm = CEGUI::FontManager::getSingletonPtr();
 +
  CEGUI::Font* f = fm->createFont( _font );
 +
}
 +
 +
Producer uses OpenGL for rendering, so that is the renderer we must choose.  Luckily, CEGUI provides this.  You will need to provide a CEGUI::ScriptModule when initializing the System, but that is for another lesson.  A default font needs to be provided to the System, and during initialization is a good time to provide that, so my functor has required it.
 +
 +
=== Rendering CEGUI with Producer ===
 +
The application code showed a post draw callback being set.  Producer will execute this little callback at the right time, within the correct OpenGL context for OpenGL calls.  Here is what needs to happen for CEGUI to appear on your screen each frame:
 +
 +
void RenderCEGUI::operator ()(const Producer::Camera& c)
 +
{
 +
  CEGUI::System::getSingleton().renderGUI();
 +
}
 +
 +
=== Injecting Input to CEGUI via Producer ===
 +
This is where the real magic happens.  You must inject inputs into CEGUI because it does not poll the operating system for you.  That is the job of a tool like Producer.  For the most part, the following code works.  There is a small bug that is only seen when resizing the Producer::RenderSurface (window).  However, I think it provides insight into how injections need to be done for CEGUI to react to user input:

Producer is a cross platform toolkit, best explained on its website. I use it for many things, but creating a window, or Render Surface, is the most fundamental task. CEGUI requires knowledge of the window, mouse, and keyboard interaction. I will show how you can do that with some example code.

Defining a Producer Viewer

The first step is to create some sort of "viewer" with Producer, basically make a Producer::RenderSurface and a Producer::KeyboardMouse. Both of these classes are necessary for using CEGUI correctly. So, here is some example viewer code:

  1. include "Viewer.h"

Viewer::Viewer() : _camera(new Producer::Camera()), _rs(0), _kbm(0) { 

 _rs = _camera->getRenderSurface();
 _kbm = new Producer::KeyboardMouse(_rs.get());

}

Viewer::~Viewer() {}


Using the viewer in an Application

And an application might use this viewer, doing some important initializations:


Application::Application(const std::string& fontfile): 

 _status(RUNNING), _viewer(new general::Viewer()), _sim(new example::TeapotSim()),
 _scheme_loader_policy("MouseArrow"), _layout_loader_policy(), _script_module(new ApplicationEventHandler())

{ 

 // OpenGL context specific initializations
 Producer::ref_ptr<Producer::RenderSurface> rs = _viewer->GetRenderSurface();
 rs->addRealizeCallback(new general::InitGL());
 rs->addRealizeCallback(new prce::InitCEGUI(fontfile,_script_module));
 rs->setWindowName("Producer and CEGUI example");
 rs->setWindowRectangle(20,50,800,600);

 // rendering stuff
 _viewer->GetCamera()->setSceneHandler( _sim.get() );
 _viewer->GetCamera()->addPreDrawCallback( new SimulationDrawContext(_sim.get()) );
 _viewer->GetCamera()->addPostDrawCallback(new prce::RenderCEGUI() ); // renders the GUI over scene

 // device input stuff
 Producer::ref_ptr<Producer::KeyboardMouse> kbm = _viewer->GetKeyboardMouse();
 prce::Injector* injector = new prce::Injector( kbm.get() );
 kbm->setCallback( injector );
 kbm->startThread();

}

The general::InitGL functor and prce::InitCEGUI functor are quite important. These initializations are OpenGL specific, and must occur within a thread with the right OpenGL context. The Producer::RenderSurface can execute one-time initializations if you add them to be called upon window realization. Actually, a lot is happening here in the Application's constructor. You might be able to imagine how OpenGL is initialized, so I'll skip that for now. The Camera's draw callbacks are very important, but first I want to show an example of initializing CEGUI:

  1. include <CEGUISystem.h>
  2. include <renderers/OpenGLGUIRenderer/openglrenderer.h>
  3. include <CEGUIScriptModule.h>
  4. include <CEGUIFontManager.h>
  1. include "InitCEGUI.h"

using namespace prce;

InitCEGUI::InitCEGUI(const std::string& font, CEGUI::ScriptModule* s): _sm(s), _font(font) { }

InitCEGUI::~InitCEGUI() { }

void InitCEGUI::operator ()(const Producer::RenderSurface& rs) { 

 if( _sm )
   new CEGUI::System( new CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer(0), _sm );
 else
   new CEGUI::System( new CEGUI::OpenGLRenderer(0) );

 CEGUI::FontManager* fm = CEGUI::FontManager::getSingletonPtr();
 CEGUI::Font* f = fm->createFont( _font );

}

Producer uses OpenGL for rendering, so that is the renderer we must choose. Luckily, CEGUI provides this. You will need to provide a CEGUI::ScriptModule when initializing the System, but that is for another lesson. A default font needs to be provided to the System, and during initialization is a good time to provide that, so my functor has required it.

Rendering CEGUI with Producer

The application code showed a post draw callback being set. Producer will execute this little callback at the right time, within the correct OpenGL context for OpenGL calls. Here is what needs to happen for CEGUI to appear on your screen each frame:

void RenderCEGUI::operator ()(const Producer::Camera& c) { 

 CEGUI::System::getSingleton().renderGUI();

}

Injecting Input to CEGUI via Producer

This is where the real magic happens. You must inject inputs into CEGUI because it does not poll the operating system for you. That is the job of a tool like Producer. For the most part, the following code works. There is a small bug that is only seen when resizing the Producer::RenderSurface (window). However, I think it provides insight into how injections need to be done for CEGUI to react to user input:

  // --- vertical math
  // pv = 1.0 - -1.0 =  2.0   // total vertical distance in producer
  // cv = 0.0 -  1.0 = -1.0   // total vertical distance in ce

  // cex = cx + px * (ch/2 / ph/2) = 0.5 + px * ( 0.5/1.0) = 0.5 + px*0.5
