fullscreen api just got better!
Aug 1^st, 2007, 7:31am

hey all!

http://www.superduper.org/processing/fullscreen_api/

i've been updating my fullscreen api, it now works with opengl.

you can use it to seemlessly switch between fullscreen/window mode using control+f/apple+f and also to switch resolution.

unfortunately i'm sitting on a mac here, so it's not guaranteed this works in windows (i know using opengl with this api makes the sketch crash in linux).

enjoy,
hansi.

Just checked it on windows (XP)

Your example on the site
Runs fullscreen from processing (sometimes buggy)
Exporting and running the .exe crashes the program, for me.

But if I use opengl window management.
The .exe and example seems to work/run good fullscreen on windows. (on my system)

So for the moment windows users;
Use the opengl screen / option to make your own fullscreen apps with this lib, I guess.

Tuff thing, making multi-platform working code, I know. Hope my tip helped some people.

Code:


import processing.opengl.*;

void setup(){
  // set size to 640x480
  size( 640, 480, OPENGL );

//rest of code etc....

No real technical updates... :(

No real technical updates, but I changed the fullscreen api to be a proper library.

That means you won't have to copy paste a bunch of files anymore.

It should be very easy to change your code, here's a working example:

import fullscreen.*;

FullScreen fs;

void setup(){
// set size to 640x480
size(640, 480);

// Create the fullscreen object
fs = new FullScreen(this);

// enter fullscreen mode
fs.enter();
}

void draw(){
// draw something
}

I still wasn't able to properly handle opengl issues, as well as having a sketch span over multiple monitors. Sorry for that. If anybody has an idea how to solve this please contact me!

Hey All!

I feel like i got stuck while trying to get the next version perfect.
This is why I'm releasing version 0.95 now, the new features might have a few bugs, but everything that used to work should still behave nicely.

Ok, so whats new?
+ Another try on the opengl issue : Now updating textures from the init() method called by opengl, let's hope that finally fixes it!

+ SoftFullScreen support, is like a "always on top" window. So you can't change resolution, but you can span across multiple monitors.

+ Shortcuts are still enabled by default, but you can turn them off using disableKeys()

+ You can list the available resolutions using FullScreen.getResolution( <screen-nr> )

as always... download from

enjoy, hansi.

Hey thanks for that library!

I just tried the new version and seem to get in trouble with SoftFullScreen.

It gives me this error and doesn't work...
