public class Window : WindowBase

Window that serves as a target for OpenGL rendering.

sf.Window is the main class of the Window module.

It defines an OS window that is able to receive an OpenGL rendering.

A sf.Window can create its own new window, or be embedded into an already existing control using the create(handle) function. This can be useful for embedding an OpenGL rendering area into a view which is part of a bigger GUI with existing windows, controls, etc. It can also serve as embedding an OpenGL rendering area into a window created by another (probably richer) GUI library like Qt or wxWidgets.

The sf.Window class provides a simple interface for manipulating the window: move, resize, show/hide, control mouse cursor, etc. It also provides event handling through its pollEvent() and waitEvent() functions.

Note that OpenGL experts can pass their own parameters (antialiasing level, bits for the depth and stencil buffers, etc.) to the OpenGL context attached to the window, with the sf.ContextSettings structure which is passed as an optional argument when creating the window.

void main()
{
var window = new Window(VideoMode(800, 600), "My window");

//...
}
