Furthermore, a few core developers have expressed an interest in phasing out other modules using legacy OpenGL code, e.g. the HUD and 2D panels - which could be equally parsed/re-implemented using a Nasal/Canvas approach. | Furthermore, a few core developers have expressed an interest in phasing out other modules using legacy OpenGL code, e.g. the HUD and 2D panels - which could be equally parsed/re-implemented using a Nasal/Canvas approach. | ||
regardless of the outcome of this, this work is fairly self-contained and instructional for other reasons, i.e. helping unify the 2D rendering back-end (2D panels, HUD, splash screen, osgText animation) for better OpenGL compatibility, as per James' original proposal: [[Unifying the 2D rendering backend via canvas]] | |||
In other words, the whole approach could be adapted to also parse legacy 2D panels and HUD XML files to use modern OSG-aware OpenGL code, and any improvements to the lower-level C++ code would obviously not be specific to just the UI use-case.<ref>{{cite web | |||
