249  o Correct path /vis/ogl/set/printMode.
250  o Add SetView to pixmap screen dump ("/vis/ogl/set/printMode pixmap"
251    and "/vis/ogl/printEPS").
252
2538th May 2007  John Allison  (opengl-V08-02-06)
254- Moved vectored PostScript printing to G4OpenGLViewer.
255- /vis/ogl/printEPS should work for all viewers, including Win32.
256- Introduced /vis/ogl/set/printMode vectored|pixmap, currently only
257  effective on X windows (and still somewhat buggy).
258
2594th April 2007  John Allison  (opengl-V08-02-05 - needs visman-V08-02-04)
260- Implemented picking for OGLSX ( as well as OGLIX).  Hopefully works
261  for OGL*Win32.  Still doesn't work for OGL*Xm.
262
2633rd April 2007  John Allison  (opengl-V08-02-04 - needs visman-V08-02-03)
264- G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler:
265  o Re-organised display lists on a per-primitive basis, i.e., one
266    display list per primitive.  (This is so that, except for text,
267    the colour - or, rather, intensity - can be brought out of the
268    display list into the TOList (Transient Object List) and
269    controlled for the Display-by-Time feature.  Previously, if more
270    than one primitive were drawn between BeginPrimitives and
271    EndPrimitives, it would finish up all in one display list, colour
272    commands included. Rationalises and fixes a rare bug in the
273    Display-by-Time feature - see August 2006.)
274  o Added AddPrimitive(const G4Polymarker&) so that it is treated as
275    one primoitive to fit with the above re-organisation.
276- Implemented picking for OGLIX.
277
27825th March 2007  John Allison  (opengl-V08-02-03)
279- Fix compiler warnings.
280
2818th February 2007  John Allison  (opengl-V08-02-02)
282- Fixed Windows problem with DBL_MAX.  (Introduced G4OPENGL_DBL_MAX.)
283- G4OpenGLXViewer.cc: Small bug fix in print().  (Context was switched
284  .but not switched back.  Not serious, because context was always set
285  before normal drawing.)
286
2879th January 2007  John Allison  (opengl-V08-02-01)
288- Implemented bitmap markers for MarkerSizeType == screen.  (The old
289  polygon implementation remains for MarkerSizeType == world.)
290- Added G4OpenGLBitMapStore to assist the above.
291- G4OpenGLXViewer::CreateGLXContext:
292  o Bug fix: Added missing break in colormap lookup routine.
293
2945th January 2007  John Allison  (opengl-V08-02-00)
295- G4OpenGLSceneHandler.cc:
296  o Followed change of signature of GetLineWidth in visman-V08-02-00.
297  o Minor efficiency improvements.
298
[529]29921st November 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-01-09)
300- Fixed compiler warnings.
301
3021st November 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-01-08)
303- Replace /vis/oglx/set/printEPS by /vis/oglx/printEPS.  The new command
304  actually initiates a print, rather than set a flag for printing.
305
30624th October 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-01-07)
307- G4OpenGLStoredViewer.cc: Calculate light front horizon properly.
308- G4OpenGLViewerMessenger.cc: Make refresh depend on auto-refresh.
309
31019th September 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-01-06)
311- Added time origin for light front.
312- Added /vis/ogl/set/transparency.
313- G4OpenGLStoredViewer.cc: Bug fix in time range acceptance.
314
3154th September 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-01-05)
316- Implement cutaways.
317- Immediate mode: G4OpenGLImmediateSceneHandler.cc: Flush all
318  primitives (see detector being drawn).
319- /vis/oglx/set/printEPS: change parameter default to true.
320
32130th August 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-01-04)
322- G4OpenGLSceneHandler:
323  o Implemented line width.
324  o Switched off back face culling when clipping so that the inside of
325    volumes can be seen.
326  o Added CreateSection/CutawayPolyhedron to exploit generic
327    sectioning (DCUT) and cutaways.  Currently not activated due to
328    instabilities in BooleanProcessor.  Local sectioning still active
329    but broken (at least on Mac) due to apparent change in effect of
330    clipping planes (polyhedron edges not reconstructed).
331  o Rationalised calculation of marker size.
332- G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler:
333  o Fixed bug due to recursive calls of AddPrimitive (polymarkers -> markers).
334  o Pick up time range from G4VisAttributes.
335- G4OpenGLViewer(Messenger):
336  o Added position and colour to /vis/ogl/set/displayHeadTime.
337  o Added /vis/ogl/set/displayLightFront.
338- G4OpenGLStoredViewer.cc:
339  o Rationalised CompareForKernelVisit.  (Local sectioning still active.)
340  o Added position and colour to DisplayHeadTime.
341  o Added DisplayLightFront.
342 
34316th August 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-01-03)
344- Corrected Solaris compilation error.
345- Added /vis/ogl/set/fade and displayHeadTime.
346
34714th August 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-01-02)
348- Needs visman-V08-01-02.
349- G4OpenGLStored: Implemented display-by-time.  Only available in
350  stored mode at present.  Only implemented for circle, square,
351  polyline and polymarker at present, enough for currently available
352  trajectory models.  Time is communicated via G4AttValues.
353- Added G4OpenGLViewerMessenger.
354- Added /vis/ogl/set/startTime and endTime of displayed objects.
355- All factories: Instantiated G4OpenGLViewerMessenger.
356- G4OpenGLViewer: Added fStart/EndTime.
357- G4OpenGLXViewer.cc: Graceful recovery from unexpected tokens in
358  spewPrimitiveEPS and spewSortedFeedback.
359
36017th July  John Allison  (opengl-V08-01-01)
361- Added /vis/oglx/set/printEPS (prints eps file on every update).
362
3633rd July 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-01-00)
364- Elimination of redundant variable doublebuffer and implementation of
365  FinishView in all viewers.
366
36730th May 2006  Joseph Perl  (opengl-V08-00-08)
368- G4OpenGLImmediateWin32Viewer: Removed tests on doublebuffer since that
369  variable seems to have random behavior and should be assumed false for
370  this viewer.
371
37229th May 2006  Joseph Perl  (opengl-V08-00-07)
373- G4OpenGLWin32Viewer, G4OpenGLImmediateWin32Viewer, G4OpenGLStoredWin32Viewer:
374  Removed common FinishView and instead made separate FinishView for the two different
375  versions of this viewer since each wants a different buffer swapping behaviour.
376
37712th May 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-00-06)
378- G4OpenGLWin32Viewer: Fixed buffer swapping behaviour.
379
38028th April 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-00-05 - needs visman-V08-00-14)
381- G4OpenGLStoredX/Xm/Win32Viewer.cc: Fixed buffer swapping problem when
382  recomputing transients.
383
38424th April 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-00-04)
385- Fixed compilation problem on Windows.
386
38719th April 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-00-03)
388- G4OpenGLSceneHandler, G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler and
389  G4OpenGLImmediateSceneHandler:
390  o Implemented Begin/EndPrimitives2D (needs visman-V08-00-12 and
391    greps-V08-00-02).
392  o Migrated to direct access to G4PhysicalVolumeModel.
393- G4OpenGLStoredX/Xm/Win32Viewer.cc: bug fix for conditional drawing
394  of display lists in DrawView.
395
39614th March 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-00-02)
397- Refined display list building and re-drawing algorithm.
398  o G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler::EndModeling: Changed to GL_COMPILE_AND_EXECUTE.
399  o Avoided unnecessary re-execution in DrawView (X, Xm and Win32).
400- G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler::RequestPrimitives: Refined display list
401  re-use algorithm.  In test19 with global culling off, numbers of
402  display lists used are:
403  o 191  No re-use:
404  o  73  Before this change: re-use except replicas (includes parameterised).
405  o  33  After this change: re-use except parameterised and replicas in radius.
406
40726th January 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-00-01)
408- Coworks with visman-V08-00-04 (removed fModified).
409- Removed references to fModified.

412  possible future implementation of 2D drawing.
413- G4OpenGLXViewer.cc: Improved exception printing.
414
41511th January 2006  John Allison  (opengl-V08-00-00)
416- Improved efficiency: all DrawView's:
417  o Don't call ClearView.
418  o Set flag so SetView will not be called in ProcessView.
419  o Leave background colour to ClearView.
420- Used dynamic_cast<G4OpenGLViewer*>, no need for G4OpenGLViewerDataStore.
421- G4OpenGLXmViewerMessenger: Made a smart singleton; interrogates vis manager
422  for current viewer.
423
42424th November 2005  John Allison  (opengl-V07-01-09)
425- Protected G4OpenGLXmViewerMessenger with #ifdef G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLXM_DRIVER.
426
42722nd November 2005  John Allison  (opengl-V07-01-08)
428- Added G4OpenGLXmViewerMessenger.
429- Corrected text position.
430- Made depth test for polyhedron GL_LEQUAL (slightly dominant).
431
43217th November 2005  Gabriele Cosmo
433- Fixed settings of background style for WIN32 viewers.
434
43513th November 2005  John Allison  (opengl-V07-01-07)
436- Implemented X-Window-style geometry hints in G4OpenGLXViewer.
437
43813th October 2005  John Allison  (opengl-V07-01-06)
439- Allowed any colour background.
440- Implemented non-uniform scaling.
441- Migration to <sstream>.
442
44329th September 2005  John Allison  (opengl-V07-01-05)
444- Added G4OpenGLViewerDataStore to facilitate access of viewer data by
445  scene handler.
446- Re-implemented transparency button in OpenGLXm.
447
44813th September 2005  John Allison  (opengl-V07-01-04 - needs visman-V07-01-02)
449- Implemented white background for all OGL viewers.
450- G4OpenGLSceneHandler.cc:
451  o Fixed hidden line removal (bug introduced in opengl-V07-01-02).
452  o Fixed treatment of triangular polygons for drawing of auxiliary/soft lines.
453  o Corrected GetTextColour(text).
454  o Corrected GetColour(polyhedron).
455
4565th September 2005  John Allison  (opengl-V07-01-03)
457- Bug fix: stored transparent objects were being lost.
458
4592nd September 2005  John Allison  (opengl-V07-01-02 - needs visman-V07-01-01)
460- Bug fix: edgeflags problem introduced with smooth shading in
461  opengl-V07-01-00.
462- Implementation of a "better algorithm" for the rendering of
463  transparent polyhedron objects.  It renders all opaque objects
464  first, then renders the transparent objects with the depth buffer in
465  read-only mode (see OpenGL Programming Guide).  It uses the new
466  facility in G4VSceneHandler::ProcessScene for an optional second pass
467  of the run-duration models in the scene.  Note this algorithm is
468  still only an approximation.  It will still give the wrong blended
469  colour if two transparent objects are rendered front first.  For
470  nested transparent objects, this is unfortunate, because
471  G4PhysicalVolumeModel traverses Geant4's mother-daughter hierarchy
472  in such a way that mothers come first.  Also, there is no guaranteed
473  relationship between the order of rendering and the depth of two
474  transparent objects if they are at the same level or in different
475  branches of the hierarchy.  Still, the only error will be an
476  incorrect colour - the objects will still give the appearance of
477  transparency, so it's a pretty good algorithm.  (An even better
478  algorithm would be to attempt to render the facets in depth order,
479  deepest first.  But how do you calculate the depth - centre of area,
480  deepest corner?  One can still imagine pathalogical cases that would
481  sometimes give the wrong colour.  Also, for stored mode, the order
482  is fixed in a display list so when the user rotates the view, one
483  would lose the depth ordering.  I think we have to accept that
484  blending in OpenGL is only ever an approximation.  For accurate
485  blending, use RayTracer.)
486
48728th August 2005  John Allison  (opengl-V07-01-01)
488- Half-way implementation of rendering of transparent polyhedron
489  objects.  In this implementation, no account is taken of the order
490  of rendering.  Transparent objects are rendered with depth testing
491  off so that objects behind can still be seen.  But this means that
492  opaque objects in front do not obscure them - and they jolly well
493  should!  A better algorithm is to render all opaque objects first,
494  then render the transparent objects with the depth buffer in
495  read-only mode (see OpenGL Programming Guide).  This is going to
496  take a little more thought - see opengl-V07-01-02.
497
49820th July 2005  John Allison  (opengl-V07-01-00)
499- Introduced smooth shading, taking advantage of hitherto un-noticed
500  feature of HepPolyhedron::GetNextFacet that calculates the normals
501  at each vertex so that curved surfaces are rendered more
502  realistically (Gouraud shading).
503- G4OpenGLImmediateSceneHandler.cc: Removed unnecessary #include's.
504- G4OpenGLXmViewer.cc: Fixed to use window size hints.  This changes
505  the default window size.  It used to be 400x400, hardcoded in
506  G4OpenGLXmViewer.cc, but now it picks up the
507  G4ViewParameters::GetWindowSizeHintX/Y, which defaults to 600x600.
508  The user may change it on the command line, e.g:
509    /vis/open OGLSXm 500
510  or
511    /vis/viewer/create ! ! 500
512
51330th May 2005  John Allison  (opengl-V07-00-03)
514- Fixed compilation problem in OpenGL on SUN.  (Replaced multimap by
515  map of vectors in G4OpenGLFontBaseStore.)
516
5174th May 2005  John Allison  (opengl-V07-00-02)
518- Restored sequence Set/Clear/DrawView in ClearTransientStore.  (It
519  was taken out to prevent recursive calling, but that seems to be OK,
520  and it is needed to implement refresh at end of event/run.)
521
52222nd April 2005  John Allison  (opengl-V07-00-01)
523- Rationalised work of opengl-V07-00-00.  Functionality unchanged.
524  o G4OpenGLViewer.hh: Created virtual void CreateFontLists(){}.
525  o In all concrete viewers, added call to CreateFontLists().
526  o Moved font code for X to G4OpenGLXViewer::CreateFontLists().
527  o There is no longer a need to implement in the XmViewer, since it
528    now inherits.  Thus the font code now only appears once for X.
529  o Awaiting implementation for WIN32.
530
53117th April 2005  John Allison  (opengl-V07-00-00)
532- Based on vis-V07-00-13.
533- Implemented text for X-Windows viewers.  Uses glXUseXFont, which
534  creates display lists for nominated fonts.  Simple-minded scheme in
535  which each viewer creates its own font display lists for a variety
536  of sizes, which are accessed by the scene handler through a new
537  class, G4OpenGLFontBaseStore.  Affected methods:
538    G4OpenGLXViewer::CreateMainWindow()
539    G4OpenGLXmViewer::CreateMainWindow()
540    G4OpenGLSceneHandler::AddPrimitive (const G4Text& text)
541
54218th November 2004  John Allison  (opengl-V06-02-07)
543- Removed redundant fLastVP from G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler.
544
54515th November 2004  Guy Barrand
546- G4OpenGLWin32Viewer::ShowView : glFlush was not sufficient
547  to see trajectories (for example with N03). Correct so that
548  ShowView do a FinishView that does : glFlush, wglSwapBuffer
549  and empty the Windows message queue.
550
55122nd September 2004  John Allison  (opengl-V06-02-06)
552- doxygen output to tmp area.
553- Trap non-regular polyhedrons.
554
55513th September 2004  Gabriele Cosmo  (opengl-V06-02-05)
556- G4OpenGLTransform3D.cc: simplified implementation for GetMatrix()
557  to allow for porting on CLHEP-1.9.X series.
558
55923rd July 2004  John Allison
560- Draws auxiliary edges if required.
561- Added auxiliary edge button.
562
56316th July 2004  John Allison  (opengl-V06-02-04)
564- Refinements to hidden line, hidden surface removal.
565
56614th July 2004  John Allison  (opengl-V06-02-03)
567- Removed superfluous #include "G4VisManager.hh" from G4OpenGLXmViewer.cc.
568
56913th July 2004  John Allison  (opengl-V06-02-02)
570- Hidden line *and* hidden surface removal now works.
571
5729th July 2004  John Allison  (opengl-V06-02-01)
573- Fixed long-standing problem with hidden line removal.
574- Improved messages on failure to get visual.
575- Added GLX_STENCIL_SIZE explicit request to visual attributes - most
576  systems provided by default anyway, so no effect.
577
5781st July 2004  John Allison  (opengl-V06-02-00)
579- Rationalised G4OpenGLSceneHandler ready for hidden line removal.
580- Bug fix in G4OpenGLXmPanningCallbacks.cc for dolly control.
581
58218th June 2004  Gunter Folger (geant4-06-02)
5839th June 2004  Gabriele Cosmo  (vis-V06-01-03)
5847th June 2004  Gabriele Cosmo  (vis-V06-01-02)
585- GNUmakefile and disclaimer changes - see visualization/History.
586
5879th April 2004  John Allison  (vis-V06-01-01 + interfaces-V06-01-00)
588- Tagged OpenGL as below.  Joint with interfaces-V06-01-00.
589
5907th April 2004  Guy Barrand
591- visualization/OpenGL/* : use the G4OpenGL.hh file.
592- Added : visualization/OpenGL/include/G4OpenGL.hh to encapsulate
593  the include of gl/gl.h and gl/glu.h that may be platform dependant.
594  It permits to rm some #ifdef WIN32 spread in the code. It opens also
595  the way to the usage of the Apple OpenGL on a Mac.
596
59717th February 2004  John Allison  (opengl-V06-00-00)
598- Fixed bug #581: wrong order of statements in
599  G4OpenGLXViewer::~G4OpenGLXViewer (see bug report).
600
6014th October 2003  Gabriele Cosmo  (vis-V05-02-01)
602- GNUmakefile:
603  o replaced "digits+hits" with "digits_hits".
604- Coworks with "geometry-V05-02-00" and "digits_hits-V05-02-00".
605
60622nd September 2003  John Allison  (vis-V05-02-00, greps-V05-02-00)
607- Cosmetic change to regularise names:
608  o changed _Feedback3Dcolo to G4OpenGLXViewerFeedback3Dcolor.
609  o changed _DepthIndex to G4OpenGLXViewerDepthIndex.
610
61123rd June 2003  Guy Barrand  (opengl-V05-01-02)
612- Commit a first implementation of G4OpenGLWin32Viewer.
613
61410th June 2003  Gabriele Cosmo  (opengl-V05-01-01)
615- More fixes for warnings in viewers classes.
616- Added inclusion of <windows.h> for WIN32 platforms when GL headers
617  are included.
618
61905th June 2003  Gabriele Cosmo  (opengl-V05-01-00)
620- Fixes for porting compilation on WIN32:
621  o G4OpenGLWin32Viewer[.hh.cc]: removed inclusion of <GL/glx.h>.
622  o G4OpenGLViewer.cc: replaced local variables near/far with pnear/pfar
623    since declared 'obsolete' in WIN32 platforms.
624
62527th November 2002  John Allison  (vis-V04-01-08)
626- Improved algorithm of CompareForKernelVisit.
627
62811th November 2002  John Allison  (opengl-V04-01-02)
629- Corrected inclusion of G4OpenGLXViewer #ifdef X_DRIVER.
630- Added G4OpenGLSceneHandler::AddThis for trajectories and hits - simply
631  call default but there as a marker and encourager.
632- Added tracking and digits+hits/hits to GNUmakefile.
633
63416th October 2002  John Allison  (opengl-V04-01-01)
635- Fix for WIN32.  Now compiles but viewer not implemented.
636
63724th June 2002  John Allison  (opengl-V04-01-00)
638- Further cosmetic changes in G4OpenGLXViewer.cc for DEC compiler.
639
64010th June 2002  John Allison  (opengl-V04-00-03)
641- Cosmetic changes for SUN-CC in G4OpenGLXmConvenienceRoutines.cc.
642
6436th June 2002  John Allison  (opengl-V04-00-02)
644- Cosmetic changes for GNU compiler in G4OpenGLXViewer.cc.
645
64623rd February 2002  John Allison  (opengl-V04-00-01)
647- Changes to encourage compilation on Windows in preparation for
648  implementation of G4OpenGLWin32Viewer.  Removed spurious includes of
649  glx.h, unistd.h and assert.h.
650
65124th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-13)
652- Limited the printing of warnings in
653  G4OpenGLSceneHandler::AddPrimitive (const G4Text& text).
654
65514th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-11)
656- Improved KernelVisitDecision.
657- Fixed a few small bugs in multiple "stored" viewers, but see next item.
658- There's an outstanding bug in OpenGL Stored.  If there is more than
659  one viewer controlled by a scene handler, after a ClearStore on the
660  scene handler, e.g., with /vis/scene/notifyHandlers, the first
661  viewer to get refreshed should trigger the display list rebuild, but
662  the second need not.  However, when the second viewer's turn comes,
663  the display lists are there, and are called, e.g.,
664  G4OpenGLStoredXViewer::DrawView calls
665  G4OpenGLStoredViewer::DrawDisplayLists that calls glCallList, but
666  nothing appears on the screen.  To overcome this there is some
667  temporary code in G4VViewer::NeedKernelVisit which marks *all*
668  viewers to force a rebuild.  To see the symptoms, comment out that
669  temporary code and issue these commands:
670    /vis/verbose c
671    /control/verbose 2
672    /vis/scene/create
673    /vis/scene/add/volume
674    /vis/sceneHandler/create OGLSX
675    /vis/viewer/create ! ! 1
676    /run/beamOn
677    /vis/viewer/create ! ! 1
678    /vis/viewer/select viewer-0
679    /vis/viewer/viewpointThetaPhi 20 20
680    /vis/viewer/select viewer-1
681    /vis/viewer/viewpointThetaPhi 40 40
682    /vis/viewer/set/style surface
683    /vis/viewer/refresh
684    /vis/viewer/select viewer-0
685    /vis/viewer/refresh
686    /vis/viewer/select viewer-1
687    /vis/viewer/set/style wireframe
688    /vis/scene/notifyHandlers
689  You may have to do this too:
690    /vis/viewer/select viewer-0
691    /vis/scene/notifyHandlers
692  One of the viewers is empty.  Curious!!
693
6949th August 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-10-00)
695- Implemented G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler::ClearTransientStore()
696- Removed G4OpenGLSceneHandler::AddPrimitive (const G4Polymarker&) (it only
697  invoked G4VSceneHandler::AddPrimitive (const G4Polymarker&) which is
698  picked up by inheritance anyway.
699- Removed lots of unnecessary header files from G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler.cc.
700- Corrected order of calling base class functions in
701  G4OpenGLStoredSceneHandler::Begin/EndModeling.
702
70324th July 2001  John Allison  (vis-V03-02-06)
704- G4OpenGLSceneHandler::AddPrimitive (const G4Text&) handles transformation.
705
70614th July 2001  John Allison (opengl-V03-02-00)
707- Fixed crash in optimised mode: added Initialise() to viewers so
708  that windows are opened after viewers are fully constructed.
709
7102nd April 2001  John Allison (opengl-V03-00-01 wrt vis-V03-00-09)
711- Tidied G4OpenGLXmViewer callback code.  Removed superfluous header files.
712
7137th March 2001  John Allison
714- Changed char* to const char* in many places and that gave problems in
715  calls to Xt and Xm.  Hope all's OK.  Differences:
716    cvs diff -r vis-V03-00-06 vis-V03-00-07
717
71825th January 2001  John Allison  (opengl-V03-00-00)
719- Implemented running re-calculation of up-vector in the case of "object
720  rotation" (lights move with camera) to prevent "flipping" of view when
721  camera passes through up-vector.  Note that the default is "camera
722  rotation" (lights do not move with camera, i.e., remain fixed relative
723  to object) so the default is that this "flipping" can happen.  To set
724  "object rotation" (lights move with camera) use
725  /vis/lights/move_with_camera true (soon to be
726  /vis/viewer/set/lights move-with-camera) or click "Object" radio button
727  on Rotation Panel in OpenGLXm mode.
728- Changed some objects to references for efficiency.  E.g.:
729  const G4Vector3D& vp = pView->fVP.GetViewpointDirection ().unit ();
730
73122nd May 2000  John Allison  (opengl-V01-01-00)
732- Fixed slow response of 2nd window of OpenGLXm.  Worked around Mesa bug
733  by sharing static visuals in G4OpenGLXViewer (Guy Barrand):
734    static XVisualInfo* vi_single_buffer;
735    static XVisualInfo* vi_double_buffer;
736- Removed ChooseVisual from G4OpenGLXmViewer.cc - done in base class
737  G4OpenGLXViewer.
738- Protected double deletion of window in destructors of G4OpenGLXmViewer
739  and G4OpenGLXViewer (Guy Barrand).
740- Changed requested bits per colour to r,g,b = 1,1,1 in G4OpenGLViewer.cc.
741- Corrected order of CreateMainWindow() and InitializeGLView() in X*Viewer
742  constructors.
Note: See TracBrowser for help on using the repository browser.
