The Application Layer

The VR-Vantage Toolkit provides an application framework that makes it easy to create new applications. The high level class DtVrvApplication creates and owns a number of usefull subsystems for you. It creates the DtDe, then a DtPluginManager (and loads any available plug-ins), and then initializes the DtDe. It sets up an event loop, and once you call run(), it repeatedly calls DtDe::tick(). To get access to the application's DtDe,simply call DtVrvApplication::de().

Application Layer Examples

	exampleSimple - Creates a simple VR-Vantage application.
	exampleEmbedded - Builds a QT application with a Master Display Engine embedded in it.
	exampleEmbeddedSlave - Builds a QT application with a Slave Display Engine embedded in it.
	exampleMFC - Shows how to embed VR-Vantage in an MFC application.
