Application graphics (version 6+)

Starting with BOINC version 6.0, applications graphics are generated by a separate program. The only constraints on this program are:

  • If invoked with --fullscreen, it must open a full-screen borderless window, and must exit when mouse or keyboard input occurs.
  • Otherwise it must open a standard window; in this case it may handle mouse/keyboard input.

The BOINC graphics API (described below) provides cross-platform support for developing such a program; however, you need not use it.

The logical name of the program must be 'v6graphics'. When you set up your application version directory, give it a filename like

v6graphics=uc2_graphics_5.10_windows_intelx86.exe
