Choose OpenGL profile.

[aditya siram]

Hi all,
Does FLTK support changing OpenGL profiles? I'm not super-familiar with OpenGL myself but it was a question I was asked when I announced the Haskell bindings. I'll cut-and-paste the actual question here: " ... can I choose the OpenGL profile I'm using to be a current core profile like 3.3 or 4.1?"

Thanks!

I second this. I would really like to be able to open an OpenGL context from FLTK that isn't 20 years old :(

I've opened STR #3198 for this..
http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L3198

If someone wants to supply patches, feel free to add them to that STR.
(Please work with svn current when providing patches, as the code base
has been active lately on esp. on the mac)

For discussion of how to implement, you can open a new thread on
fltk.coredev, as there's bound to be some discussion on how to approach
implementing this in the FLTK API.

I'd certainly be willing to give it a go. I've done work with OpenGL, WGL, and GLX before.

Just bumping the thread to see if there was any progress on this ticket: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L3198.
