Virtual Method
CoglFramebufferallocate
Declaration [src]
gboolean
allocate (
CoglFramebuffer* framebuffer
GError** error
)
Description [src]
Explicitly allocates a configured CoglFramebuffer allowing developers to
check and handle any errors that might arise from an unsupported
configuration so that fallback configurations may be tried.
Many applications don’t support any fallback options at least when they are initially developed and in that case the don’t need to use this API since Cogl will automatically allocate a framebuffer when it first gets used. The disadvantage of relying on automatic allocation is that the program will abort with an error message if there is an error during automatic allocation.
