Method Detail

startLayer

public void startLayer(LayerThread inLayerThread)

Once your layer is created and handed to the LayerThread, it needs to actually be started on that layer. This call indicates the layer has been started on the thread and can hook itself into the system, generating geometry or registering for view changes and such.

Parameters:

inLayerThread -

preSceneFlush

public void preSceneFlush(LayerThread layerThread)

Called on the layer thread right before we flush changes out to the scene. You can be guaranteed that no changes you make appear before this is called. So it's nice for syncing up display state with the main thread.

shutdown

public void shutdown()

This method is called when a layer is to be removed. The layer should clean up any objects it may have created.

If the MaplyController is shut down, you may not get this call and instead may simply be deleted.
