Function Documentation

initCommonGFX()

void initCommonGFX

(

)

Set up the graphics mode of the backend.

initGraphicsModes()

void initGraphicsModes

(

const Graphics::ModeList &

modes

)

Send a list of graphics modes to the backend so it can make a decision about the best way to set up the display hardware.

Engines that switch between different virtual screen sizes during the game should call this function prior to any call to initGraphics. Engines that use only a single screen size do not need to call this function.

initGraphics() [1/3]

void initGraphics	(	int	width,
		int	height
	)

Set up the screen size and graphics mode of the backend.

Shows various warnings on certain backend graphics transaction failures (aspect switch, fullscreen switch, etc.).

An error dialog will be generated when the backend is not able to switch to the specified mode.

Defaults to CLUT8 (256 color palette) if only width and height provided. If graphics format is explicitly set to nullptr, uses the preferred format of the backend. Finds the best compatible format if a list of graphics formats is provided.

initGraphics() [2/3]

void initGraphics	(	int	width,
		int	height,
		const Graphics::PixelFormat *	format
	)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

initGraphics() [3/3]

void initGraphics	(	int	width,
		int	height,
		const Common::List< Graphics::PixelFormat > &	formatList
	)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

initGraphics3d()

void initGraphics3d	(	int	width,
		int	height
	)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

initGraphicsAny()

int initGraphicsAny	(	const Graphics::ModeWithFormatList &	modes,
		int	start = 0
	)

Inits any of the modes in "modes". "modes" is in the order of preference. Return value is index in modes of resulting mode.
