// FIXME: We need some way to tell when the device upon which the canvas is
// being displayed has changed (e.g., the user drags the canvas's parent
// window from one screen on multi-screen environment to another, when the
// user changes the display bit depth or screen resolution, etc). When this
// occurs, we need the canvas to reset the gl function pointer tables for the
// canvas, because the new device may have different capabilities (e.g.,
// doesn't support as many opengl extensions) from the original device. This
// hook would also be useful in other GLDrawables (for example, offscreen
// buffers such as pbuffers, whose contents may or may not be invalidated when
// the display mode changes, depending on the vendor's GL implementation).
//
// Right now I'm not sure how hook into when this change occurs. There isn't
// any AWT event corresponding to a device change (as far as I can
// tell). We could constantly check the GraphicsConfiguration of the canvas's top-level
// parent to see if it has changed, but this would be very slow (we'd have to
// do it every time the context is made current). There has got to be a better
// solution, but I'm not sure what it is.

// FIXME: Subclasses need to call resetGLFunctionAvailability() on their
// context whenever the displayChanged() function is called on our
// GLEventListeners

   * GLPbuffer, as these perform the appropriate calls on their
   * underlying GLDrawables internally.
   *
   * <P>
   *
   * Developers implementing new OpenGL components for various window
   * toolkits need to call this method against GLDrawables obtained
   * from the GLDrawableFactory via the {@link
   * GLDrawableFactory#getGLDrawable
   * GLDrawableFactory.getGLDrawable()} method. It must typically be
   * called with an argument of <code>true</code> when the component
   * associated with the GLDrawable is realized and with an argument
   * of <code>false</code> just before the component is unrealized.
   * For the AWT, this means calling <code>setRealized(true)</code> in
   * the <code>addNotify</code> method and with an argument of
   * <code>false</code> in the <code>removeNotify</code> method.
   *
   * <P>
   *
   * <code>GLDrawable</code> implementations should handle multiple
   * cycles of <code>setRealized(true)</code> /
   * <code>setRealized(false)</code> calls. Most, if not all, Java
   * window toolkits have a persistent object associated with a given
   * component, regardless of whether that component is currently
   * realized. The <CODE>GLDrawable</CODE> object associated with a
   * particular component is intended to be similarly persistent. A
   * <CODE>GLDrawable</CODE> is intended to be created for a given
   * component when it is constructed and live as long as that
   * component. <code>setRealized</code> allows the
   * <code>GLDrawable</code> to re-initialize and destroy any
   * associated resources as the component becomes realized and
   * unrealized, respectively.
   *
   * <P>
   *
   * Calling this method has no other effects. For example, if
   * <code>removeNotify</code> is called on a Canvas implementation
   * for which a GLDrawable has been created, it is also necessary to
   * destroy all OpenGL contexts associated with that GLDrawable. This
   * is not done automatically by the implementation.
