Methods of GraphicsPipeSelection:

getGlobalPtr
static GraphicsPipeSelection *GraphicsPipeSelection::get_global_ptr(void);

Description: Returns a pointer to the one global GraphicsPipeSelection object.

getNumAuxModules
int GraphicsPipeSelection::get_num_aux_modules(void) const;

Description: Returns the number of display modules that are still to be loaded. If this is nonzero, then calling load_aux_modules() will likely increase the number of GraphicsPipes available.

getNumPipeTypes
int GraphicsPipeSelection::get_num_pipe_types(void) const;

Description: Returns the number of different types of GraphicsPipes that are available to create through this interface.

getPipeType
TypeHandle GraphicsPipeSelection::get_pipe_type(int n) const;

Description: Returns the nth type of GraphicsPipe available through this interface.

loadAuxModules
void GraphicsPipeSelection::load_aux_modules(void);

Description: Loads all the modules named in the aux-display Configrc variable, making as many graphics pipes as possible available.

makeDefaultPipe
PointerTo< GraphicsPipe > GraphicsPipeSelection::make_default_pipe(void);

Description: Creates a new GraphicsPipe of some arbitrary type. The user may specify a preference using the Configrc file; otherwise, one will be chosen arbitrarily.

makePipe
PointerTo< GraphicsPipe > GraphicsPipeSelection::make_pipe(string const &type_name, string const &module_name = ((string())));

Description: Creates a new GraphicsPipe of the indicated type (or a type more specific than the indicated type, if necessary) and returns it. Returns NULL if the type cannot be matched.
If the type is not already defined, this will implicitly load the named module, or if module_name is empty, it will call load_aux_modules().

printPipeTypes
void GraphicsPipeSelection::print_pipe_types(void) const;

Description: Writes a list of the currently known GraphicsPipe types to nout, for the user's information.
