How to resize the render window

Troubleshooting General Help
1

Hello,



I'm at the task to create a render window that can be resized at runtime by the user.



It is demanded, that the window will not have a fixed size like 1024x768.

It would be nice, if you could switch to fullscreen and back, but not necessary.



My question:

How to make something like this with jME?

Have until now only used the property dialog that comes with jME.



EDIT:

Is it possible to keep the scenegraph and not need to rebuild it completely?

How do I make this?

Have a look at TestRecreateWindow. Is this what you need?

If you need the user to resize the window by dragging the corners with the mouse consider to use a swing frame with a canvas instead (or ask some lwjgl folks if it's possible with the native window).

And for your question edited in, that's possible if you use a Swing frame like irrisor suggested. Look at some of the examples like the particle editor (in jmetest.effects I think)

  • it is possible with recreate window, too.

ok, thank you for the hints and for the fast help!



I checked the DisplaySystem.recreateWindow function:

It works well in my app when used like in the jmetest-Demo (except for 16bit fullscreen switch - but that is due to my ATI openGL-implementation).

The only problem is, that it would be nice, to have something like a resize-event for the window or something like that.



I also took a look into the jmetest-Demos using the com.jmex.awt.SimpleCanvasImpl class.

It may be that this is more in the direction of what I need (see question below).

But I then have another problem, maybe I should post it here:
