156 * Integration::Core is used for integration with the native windowing system.
157 * The following integration tasks must be completed:
159 * 1) Handle GL context creation, and notify the Core when this occurs.
161 * 2) Provide suspend/resume behaviour (see below for more details).
163 * 3) Run an event loop, for passing events to the Core e.g. multi-touch input events.
164 * Notification events should be sent after a frame is updated (see UpdateStatus).
166 * 4) Run a rendering loop, instructing the Core to render each frame.
167 * A separate rendering thread is recommended; see multi-threading options below.
169 * 5) Provide an implementation of the PlatformAbstraction interface, used to access platform specific services.
171 * 6) Provide an implementation of the GlAbstraction interface, used to access OpenGL services.
173 * 7) Provide an implementation of the GestureManager interface, used to register gestures provided by the platform.
175 * Suspend/Resume behaviour:
177 * The Core has no knowledge of the application lifecycle, but can be suspended.
178 * In the suspended state, input events will not be processed, and animations will not progress any further.
179 * The Core can still render in the suspended state; the same frame will be produced each time.
181 * Multi-threading notes:
183 * The Dali API methods are not reentrant. If you access the API from multiple threads simultaneously, then the results
184 * are undefined. This means that your application might segfault, or behave unpredictably.
186 * Rendering strategies:
188 * 1) Single-threaded. Call every Core method from the same thread. Event handling and rendering will occur in the same thread.
189 * This is not recommended, since processing input (slowly) can affect the smooth flow of animations.
191 * 2) Multi-threaded. The Core update & render operations can be processed in separate threads.
192 * See the method descriptions in Core to see which thread they should be called from.
193 * This is the recommended option, so that input processing will not affect the smoothness of animations.
194 * Note that the rendering thread must be halted, before destroying the GL context.

217 * Non-virtual destructor. Core is not intended as a base class.
221 // GL Context Lifecycle
224 * Notify the Core that the GL context has been created.
225 * The context must be created before the Core can render.

235 * @post The Core is unaware of any GL context.
237 void ContextToBeDestroyed();
240 * Notify the Core that the GL surface has been resized.
241 * This should be done at least once i.e. after the first call to ContextCreated().
242 * The Core will use the surface size for camera calculations, and to set the GL viewport.
243 * Multi-threading note: this method should be called from the main thread
244 * @param[in] width The new surface width.
245 * @param[in] height The new surface height.
247 void SurfaceResized(unsigned int width, unsigned int height);
252 * Notify the Core about the display's DPI values.
253 * This should be done after the display is initialized and a Core instance is created.
254 * The Core will use the DPI values for font rendering.
255 * Multi-threading note: this method should be called from the main thread
256 * @param[in] dpiHorizontal Horizontal DPI value.
257 * @param[in] dpiVertical Vertical DPI value.

262 * Sets the expected interval between frames used to predict future intervals and the time when the
263 * next render will take place.
265 * This is the minimum interval that Core should expect. Core will adapt the predicted interval
266 * accordingly if the expected interval is constantly not met (but will not drop it below this
269 * The value provided should be in microseconds.
271 * @param[in] interval The minimum interval between frames (in microseconds).
273 * Multi-threading note: this method should be called from the render thread
275 void SetMinimumFrameTimeInterval(unsigned int interval);
280 * Put Core into the suspended state.
281 * Any ongoing event processing will be cancelled, for example multi-touch sequences.
282 * The core expects the system has suspended us. Animation time will continue during the suspended
284 * Multi-threading note: this method should be called from the main thread
285 * @post The Core is in the suspended state.
290 * Resume the Core from the suspended state.
291 * At the first update, the elapsed time passed to the animations will be equal to the time spent
293 * Multi-threading note: this method should be called from the main thread
294 * @post The Core is not in the suspended state.
299 * Queue an event with Core.
300 * Pre-processing of events may be benificial e.g. a series of motion events could be throttled, so that only the last event is queued.

302 * @param[in] event The new event.
304 void QueueEvent(const Event& event);

315 * The core will use the touch data to generate Dali Touch/Gesture events for applications to use
316 * in the update thread.

318 * @note This can be called from either the event thread OR a dedicated touch thread.
320 void UpdateTouchData(const TouchData& touch);
323 * The Core::Update() method prepares a frame for rendering. This method determines how many frames
324 * may be prepared, ahead of the rendering.
325 * For example if the maximum update count is 2, then Core::Update() for frame N+1 may be processed
326 * whilst frame N is being rendered. However the Core::Update() for frame N+2 may not be called, until
327 * the Core::Render() method for frame N has returned.
328 * @return The maximum update count (>= 1).

333 * Update the scene for the next frame. This method must be called before each frame is rendered.
334 * Multi-threading notes: this method should be called from a dedicated update-thread.
335 * The update for frame N+1 may be processed whilst frame N is being rendered.
336 * However the update-thread must wait until frame N has been rendered, before processing frame N+2.
337 * After this method returns, messages may be queued internally for the main thread.
338 * In order to process these messages, a notification is sent via the main thread's event loop.
339 * @param[out] status showing whether further updates are required. This also shows
340 * whether a Notification event should be sent, regardless of whether the multi-threading is used.

348 * @param[out] status showing whether update is required to run.
