    Hi Everyone,

    Not really the best place to be asking these questions but I though I’d give it a try anyway.
    I recently added Box2D to my Syphon-enabled OpenFrameworks drawing app, and since then it’s crashing in glDrawArrays. But *only* when Syphon is enabled. The problem I have is similar to another user on the Openframeworks forum here. I’m not sure if syphon is actually to blame, but maybe this rings a bell somewhere with anyone. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Ah well I’ve solved it. There was something going wrong with ofMesh::draw(). With ofPolyLine::draw() it doesn’t happen.

    Hi

    So, this is likely some GL state being enabled by ofMesh which once used, doesnt disable that state to whatever it was previously, and Syphon’s draw code dislikes the ‘leaked’ state of ofMesh.

    Typically, for middle ware like Syphon, one really wants to have set, known state prior to your code, and then middle ware returns it to that state.

    I suspect something similar is happening. Look at the source of ofMesh and investigate the state changes in GL, and ensure you set things back to disabled, or prior state.
