Dear Camlers,
I am pleased to announce the latest version of Gles3 and a new available software CamlSurf
CamlSurf.1.0
CamlSurf is a software written using Gles3 that allows visualization of implicit surfaces and curves. You write a small script defining your surfaces and curves, then run one or more scripts with CamlSurf_x11 script or CamlSurf_wayland script.
To install, opam install CamlSurf_x11 or opam install CamlSurf_wayland should work (after opam update).
See CamlSurf – README for the documentation and a nice video.
Gles3.20260725
Gles3 is an interface to open GLES3.2 and EGL to do graphic programming. The main novelty compared to the previous version from 2016 are:
- Support for two backends : x11 and wayland. windows (wgl) and macos (cocoa) backends are planned, volunteers are welcome.
- Support for a lot of architectures : all the architectures provided by the opam-ci including freebsd and macos using quartzx as X server should work.
One exception is win32, but actually it should build using x11 too. If I a volunteer can give it a try and tell me the msys2 or cygwin package list, I would do an update.
Although it compiles on opam-ci, there might be bugs when running the examples. Bug report are welcome! - Multiple window : the new version can handle several windows. The simplest solution in that case is to run each event-loop in its own domain (see examples/windows). This is only because of that example that we require OCaml 5. Compilation from source should work on OCaml 4.14 too except for that example.
- Basic support to load a font and convert a text to a texture.
- Cleaned / extended examples, for instance a new example shows how to write a shader to get the 3D coordinates of a clicked pixel (allowing for precise object movement using the mouse)
