SCDrawable

Conforms To:
NSObject

Declared In:
SCDrawable.h

Protocol Description

The SCView class conforms to this protocol and handles setting the controller's drawable behind the scenes; in most cases you will be able to simply use an SCView for drawing.

However, if you do not have a view (i.e. an NSView-derived instance, such as SCView), you have to create an object that conforms to this protocol and set your SCController's drawable outlet. A typical case where you have to use this approach is "real" fullscreen rendering. (Refer to the Sc21 fullscreen example that ships with Sc21 for an example on how to do this.)

Method Types

- display
- frame

Instance Methods

display

Render a frame, and swap the front and back buffers.

SCView does this by simply sending display to NSView.

When implementing this method yourself, you would typically send the render message to your SCController and flush the buffers of your context.

frame

Returns the position and size of the drawable.

SCView returns it's own frame (as returned by NSView's method of the same name).

When running in fullscreen mode, you should return an NSRect of the dimensions (0, 0, displaywidth, displayheight).
