Happy New Year!
Same to you!
I thought that maybe my limited experience would be of interest...
I've been successfully using OpenGL with cells-gtk and clg for the last
two years (using GtkGlExt and GtkDrawingArea) for real-time data
visualization. GtkGlExt was recently abandoned but is mantained again
now AFAIK.
Wow, that sounds good. I believed there must be someone out there who has
done that before, but I could not persuade google to point me in the right
direction. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
I also use Cairo together with OpenGL in order to draw antialiased
rotated Unicode text of different font sizes. Unfortunately, I do not
call Cairo and OpenGL functions to draw on the same surface, instead I
create a texture with Cairo and display it with OpenGL.
I have never tried this. What is the reason you cannot mix the two? Does
it not work, or is it some issue with the bindings?
I have to confess I switched from cells-gtk to clg for the new version
of my program as the latter let me use glade to build my UI (and, to
tell the truth, I used only CFFI part of cells-gtk).
If you're only using the CFFI part, this is the sensible thing to do.
AFAICT clg is far more complete than cells-gtk. I suppose the focus of
cells-gtk is a different one.
Maybe one day we will build cells-gtk on the bindings of clg?
SBCL is the Lisp used for this project.
I made a small CFFI binding for GtkGlExt:

Again, thanks for sharing this. This will save me from reinventing the
wheel here. Would it be ok for you if I use your bindings to integrate a
GLDrawingArea widget in cells-gtk?
Cheers,
Peter
Sincerely yours,
Dmitri
