    AUTHORS:

    PLATFORMS:

        All.

    HISTORY:

        12/05/06    mk        Wrote it.

    DESCRIPTION:

        Manage special callback functions (processing hooks). Screen allows to "hook" specific
        OpenGL GLSL shaders, C callback functions or Matlab M-File functions into its internal
        processing chain at well defined points in a (hopefully) well defined manner. This allows
        to extend or customize Screens behaviour. Useful applications: Automatic transparent
        on-the-fly image processing on stimuli just before stimulus onset, e.g., filtering.
        Customization of drawing commands. Advanced stereo stimulus output algorithms. Support for
        special output devices like BrightSide HDR, Bits++, Pelli & Zhang attenuator..., interfacing
        with 3rd party hardware like trigger systems...

        We provide well defined hook points, each one with a unique descriptive name. Each hook is
        associated with a queue or chain of callback functions which is executed from the beginning
        to the end whenever that hook is processed. A callback can be a GLSL OpenGL shader program
        for image processing, a Matlab M-Function for high-level processing or a C callback function
        for complex low-level or realtime operations like triggering some output device or similar.

        This Screen subfunction provides subfunctions to add callbacks to the chain, reset the chain,
        enable or disable the chain, query properties of single hooks or dump the whole chain state
        to the command window for debug purpose.

    "'slotnameOrIndex', either the symbolic name of the requested slot or the index in the hook-chain: Indices start with 0. Names can "

    "Changes the external backing textures and their parameters for the final output color buffers of the imaging pipeline.\n"
    "Optionally returns the previously used backing textures and their old parameters. All new parameters are optional, the "

    "This only works if imagingMode flags kPsychNeedFinalizedFBOSinks and kPsychUseExternalSinkTextures are set, "
    "otherwise external changes are rejected. It is not allowed to set a configuration which would cause the underlying "
    "framebuffers to become framebuffer incomplete. Trying to do so will fail and try to revert to the old framebuffer configuration. "
    "It is not allowed to switch from multisample backing textures to single-sample textures or vice versa, as that would cause various "
    "processing failures in the image post-processing for a stimulus. Setting the kPsychSinkIsMSAACapable imagingMode flag signals that "
    "the external sink is capable of providing multisample backing textures and desires such textures, otherwise only external single-sample "
    "textures are desired. The implementation will decide if it honors the request for multisample textures, depending on general imaging "
    "pipeline setup. It may decide to allow MSAA for rendering but perform the multiSample resolve step internally. In any case the presence "
    "of kPsychSinkIsMSAACapable in the final imagingMode for the window signals if the caller of this function should provide multisample or "
    "single sample non-power-of-two textures (GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE vs. GL_TEXTURE_2D). The current implementation does not allow for a "
    "change in multiSample setting, ie., the effective number of samples per pixel for a backing texture. This limitation may get relaxed "
    "in future versions of the software if possible and sensible.\n"
    "Parameters and their meaning:\n"
    "'hookName' Currently ignored, placeholder for future extensions.\n"
    "'leftglHandle' OpenGL texture object handle of the left-eye texture in stereoMode 12, or of the mono-texture in mono mode.\n"
    "'rightglHandle' OpenGL texture object handle of the right-eye texture in stereoMode 12, or ignored in mono mode.\n"
    "'glTextureTarget' OpenGL texture target: GL_TEXTURE_2D or GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE, depending on multisample configuration.\n"
    "'format' OpenGL internal texture format, e.g., GL_RGBA. Must be a framebuffer renderable format to prevent framebuffer incompleteness.\n"
    "'multiSample' The number of samples per texel. Must be 0 for single-sampled GL_TEXTURE_2D textures, > 0 for GL_TEXTURE_2D_MULTISAMPLE textures.\n"
    "'width' and 'height' Width and height of the output framebuffer (=texture) in pixels or texels.\n"
    "\n\n"
    "[leftglHandle, rightglHandle, glTextureTarget, format, multiSample, width, height] = Screen('HookFunction', windowPtr, 'GetDisplayBufferTextures');\n"
    "Get the OpenGL handles of the backing textures and their parameters for the final output color buffers of the imaging pipeline.\n"
    "For the meaning of return values see 'SetDisplayBufferTextures' above.\n"
    "This only works if imagingMode flag kPsychNeedFinalizedFBOSinks is set or stereoMode 12 is active, which implicitely sets that flag.\n"
    "This query function works both with internally generated and maintained backing textures and externally injected/maintained ones.\n"
    "For internally generated textures (without flag kPsychUseExternalSinkTextures), the handles should be considered read-only: Binding "
    "the textures for sampling/reading from them is appropriate, modifying them in any way is forbidden.\n"
    "\n\n"
    "Screen('HookFunction', windowPtr, 'SetOneshotFlipFlags' [, hookname], flipFlags);\n"
    "Assign special flags to be applied one-time during the next execution of Screen('Flip') or Screen('AsyncFlipBegin').\n"
    "'hookname' is accepted, but currently ignored. Pass '' or [] for now.\n"
    "These 'flipFlags' will be applied during the next window flip operation, and each applied flag will then auto-reset "
    "after application. This is mostly meant to be called from within imaging pipeline processing chains during preflip "
    "operations or the active presentation sequence to modify behaviour of that sequence. The following 'flipFlags' are "
    "currently implemented: kPsychSkipVsyncForFlipOnce, kPsychSkipTimestampingForFlipOnce, kPsychSkipSwapForFlipOnce, kPsychSkipWaitForFlipOnce.\n"

    "'hookname' is accepted, but currently ignored. Pass '' or [] for now.\n"
    "The provided timestamps will be applied during return from the next window flip operation and returned as the "
    "corresponding Screen('Flip') return values. You must have called the 'SetOneshotFlipFlags' HookFunction beforehand "
    "with at least the kPsychSkipTimestampingForFlipOnce flag to suppress internal timestamping.\n"
    "This is mostly meant to be called from within imaging pipeline processing chains, notably the "
    "'PreSwapbuffersOperations' hook chain, to inject stimulus onset timestamps provided by some external display client or "
    "external timestamping mechanism. The following values can be injected:\n"
    "'VBLTimestamp' The vbl timestamp of Flip completion, or something semantically equivalent, useful for Flip scheduling.\n"
    "'StimulusOnsetTime' Optional true stimulus onset time. Will be set to VBLTimestamp if omitted. Must be StimulusOnsetTime >= VBLTimestamp.\n"
    "'Missed' The presentation deadline miss estimate aka 'Missed' flag of Screen('Flip'). Defaults to 0 if omitted.\n"
    "\n\n"
    "Screen('HookFunction', windowPtr, 'SetWindowBackendOverrides' [, hookname][, pixelSize][, refreshInterval][, proj]);\n"
    "Assign override values for various window properties, as provided by the backend client instead of the windowing system.\n"
    "'hookname' is accepted, but currently ignored. Pass '' or [] for now.\n"
    "'pixelSize' The net color depth of the display, as returned by Screen('PixelSize', windowPtr);\n"
    "'refreshInterval' The video refresh interval duration in seconds, as reported by the display backend, and after proper translation "
    "returned by Screen('NominalFramerate', windowPtr), Screen('Framerate', windowPtr), and Screen('GetFlipInterval', windowPtr).\n"
    "'proj' Override projection matrix/matrices for 2D drawing: proj = [] == don't change, proj = 1 == Disable overrides, proj = 4x4 matrix "
    "for mono-mode drawing, proj = 4x4x2 matrices for separate matrices in stereo modes (:,:,1) left eye, (:,:,2) right eye.\n"
