public Class ThreadingImpl

If an implementation of the com.jogamp.opengl APIs offers a multithreading option but the default behavior is single-threading, this API provides a mechanism for end users to disable single-threading in this implementation. Users are strongly discouraged from calling this method unless they are aware of all of the consequences and are prepared to enforce some amount of threading restrictions in their applications. Disabling single-threading, for example, may have unintended consequences on GLAutoDrawable implementations such as GLCanvas, GLJPanel and GLPbuffer. Currently there is no supported way to re-enable it once disabled, partly to discourage careless use of this method. This method should be called as early as possible in an application.

Executes the passed Runnable on the single thread used for all OpenGL work in this com.jogamp.opengl API implementation. It is not specified exactly which thread is used for this purpose. This method should only be called if the single-thread model is in use and if the current thread is not the OpenGL thread (i.e., if isOpenGLThread() returns false). It is up to the end user to check to see whether the current thread is the OpenGL thread and either execute the Runnable directly or perform the work inside it.

Indicates whether the current thread is capable of performing OpenGL-related work.

Method always returns true if getMode() == Mode#MT or isSingleThreaded() == false.

Indicates whether OpenGL work is being automatically forced to a single thread in this implementation.
