[Plib-users] Keyboard control

From: Kevin G. <av...@cu...> - 2000-11-26 19:50:43

Is there a cool a way to handle keyboard input under plib? The glut
callback just gives you when a key has been pressed and not when its
been released. I'd like to be able to handle both events.

Cheers for any help

Kev

No - I steer clear of keyboard/mouse bindings because they would prevent you
from choosing between GLUT/GTK/FLTK/whatever.

Aha!  Not so!  Gotcha!

In GLUT 3.7, there is a key-release callback - same syntax as the
key-down callback.
