GLArea() error not implemented on OSX

[louisponet]

When I try to create a GLArea() I get a window that looks like this:

This was encountered while trying to incorporate GLVisualize into a Gtk window, see Integration into Gtk or equivalent

@lobingera

a libgtk or an Gtk.jl issue?

I have no idea, but the fact that "Not implemented on" can't be found in Gtk.jl at all, indicates that it's a libgtk problem.

[louisponet]

Seems like it: gdkglcontext-quartz.c

That's a pity...

Yea its a pity that this does not work. But even if it would: @SimonDanisch Is OpenGL actually useful on OSX these days?

[lobingera]

apple thinks so: https://developer.apple.com/opengl/

[tknopp]

Yes but the question is which version is supported (in in particular which shader functionality).

[louisponet]

It seems all relevant are supported?

[SimonDanisch]

Yes, Apple distances itself from OpenGL more and more in favor of metal, but still supports fairly new versions! So it's definitely useful, while not being very future safe ;)
