OpenGL transitions in Impress for Aqua (1)

Started the effort, to make work the OpenGL transitions, Shane M. Mathews developed under the Google Summer of Code 2007.

The goal is to use these transitions in Impress with the Aqua version. Obviously, the feature does concern Mac OS X only. As reminder, the great work Shane did, was mentored by Thorsten Behrens.

The work is progressing fastly, and I created the cws is ogltrans4mac. We'll probably do commit everything soon ( build completed with the current patches)

Everything will be documented on the OpenGL transitions for Aqua wiki page. I'll document the code changes (incuding the one about another idea) asap.

Currently, the transitions can be tested, but some important issues have to be solved, and any help for the implementation is welcome.

Last, I'd like to thank Stephan Schaefer for the important piece of code he provided (making the NSOpenGLView working).

Any volunteer is warmly invited to join us in the adventure :-)

Some screenshots are available here


IMPORTANT: we need volunteers to (I hope this will not slow down the work in progress) write a spec document

... and the Macport needs new devs, with objective C / C /C++ skills. Feel free to contact us :)
