Re: [gl4java-usergroup] newbie question: GLCanvas

[<NM...@th...>]

There is GLJPanel.
If you are worried about performace there are issues though.
Basically,  java lightweight components go through the JavaVM to be drawn
to the screen while old AWT components, i.e. the Canvas, get drawn to the
screen directly.
If you need no frame rate or a very low frame rate the JPanel will work. If
you have a larger drawing surface and/or a need for a higher frame rate,
for example if you are building a game, you NEED to use Canvas.

Hope that helps.

Hi!

I read somewhere deriving from GLCanvas was the "old way" of doing things.
Is there a "new way", and if so, which of the two gives the best
performance?

TIA,
