<h3>Throttling GL window redraws</h3>

Although no documentation covering this subject was found, the EGL library internally

uses \c wl_callback objects to throttle GL window redraws, and FLTK needs not interfere with
|

these operations. Nevertheless FLTK uses \c wl_callback objects for GL windows in 2 cases:

- when a top-level GL window is being interactively resized, with the

code described above;

these operations. Nevertheless FLTK creates and uses \c wl_callback objects for GL windows in 2 cases:
|
||||
- when a decorated GL window is being interactively resized.
|
||||
Function \c Fl_Wayland_Gl_Window_Driver::resize() creates a \c wl_callback object,
|
||||
assigns it to xid->frame_cb and calls \c wl_callback_add_listener() before calling
|
||||
\c wl_egl_window_resize(). This allows the mechanism described above that prevents surfaces from
|
||||
being resized too frequently to operate with decorated \c Fl_GL_Window's too.
|
||||
- when a GL subwindow is being refreshed by \c Fl_Wayland_Gl_Window_Driver::swap_buffers().
|
||||
FLTK checks that \c xid->frame_cb is NULL and if so creates a \c wl_callback calling

\c wl_surface_frame() before calling \c eglSwapBuffers(). This is useful if the GL subwindow
