public class SoGLDevice
extends SoDevice

OpenGL device management class. This class provides functions to discover, and query information about, GPU devices available in the system through the OpenGL API. You can query, for example, the total memory available on the device.

Please see SoDevice for general information about the device classes.

See SoGLScreenDevice for information about displays attached to a GPU.

Method Detail

getScreenDevicesCount

public int getScreenDevicesCount()

Returns the number of screen devices connected to the GL device.

getDevicesCount

public static int getDevicesCount()

Returns the number of GPUs on the sytem.

getMainScreenDevice

public SoGLScreenDevice getMainScreenDevice()

Returns the main screen device connected to the GL device.

getDeviceSettings

public SoGLDeviceSettings getDeviceSettings()

Returns an handle of the driver API allowing to modify profile of this device. The return is depending of the driver manufacturer (NVidia, AMD, Intel...). Returns NULL if the API is not available. E.g.: For Intel driver, NULL is always returned.

getDevice

public static SoGLDevice getDevice(int index)

Returns the SoGLDevice indicated by index (starting from 0).

Parameters:

index - The index of the SoGLDevice.

findFirstAvailableDevice

public static SoGLDevice findFirstAvailableDevice()

Returns the first available device found in the system. Since Open Inventor version 9.7.2, this is guaranteed to be the device that Open Inventor will actually use for rendering.

getScreenDevice

public SoGLScreenDevice getScreenDevice(int index)

Returns the SoGLScreenDevice indicated by index (starting from 0).

Parameters:

index - The index of the SoGLScreenDevice.
