Crate raw_window_handle
source ·Expand description
Interoperability library for Rust Windowing applications.
This library provides standard types for accessing a window’s platform-specific raw window handle and platforms display handle. This does not provide any utilities for creating and managing windows; instead, it provides a common interface that window creation libraries (e.g. Winit, SDL) can use to easily talk with graphics libraries (e.g. gfx-hal).
Safety guarantees
Please see the docs of HasRawWindowHandle and HasRawDisplayHandle.
Platform handle initialization
Each platform handle struct is purposefully non-exhaustive, so that additional fields may be
added without breaking backwards compatibility. Each struct provides an empty method that may
be used along with the struct update syntax to construct it. See each specific struct for
examples.
Display Handles
Some windowing systems use a separate display handle for some operations. The display usually
represents a connection to some display server, but it is not necessarily tied to a particular
window. See RawDisplayHandle for more details.
