Detailed Description

MS-Windows viewer component classes used by the MS-Windows UI examples.

The following 3 classes provide different kind of render areas using the Win32 API:

• RenderArea
• RenderAreaInteractive
• RenderAreaExaminer

2 other classes are also provided:

• WinEventToSoEvent
• WinTimer

The RenderArea provides a basic render area service: it creates an OpenGl render area, its associated OpenGl context, and it encapsulates an instance of SoRenderAreaCore.

The RenderAreaInteractive inherits from RenderArea. It uses a WinEventToSoEvent to handle windows events and a WinTimer as implementation of the SoSystemTimer interface.

The RenderAreaExaminer inherits from RenderAreaInteractive and uses a SceneExaminer as root of the scene graph.
