Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "We can include other contexts through the use of the include directive."

A block of code is set as follows:

  @Override
  public IVertexBufferObject getVertexBufferObject() {
    return null;
  }

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

  final Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
  Point point = new Point();
  display.getSize(point);
  int cameraWidth = point.x;
      int cameraHeight = point.y;

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

git clone https://github.com/assimp/assimp.git

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "An example of this is upon resuming the application, when it may have to let the Actor instances that it manages recreate any hardware buffers."
