A few notes on coordinate systems:
X-Plane uses three kinds of coordinates. Global coordinates are specified
as latitude, longitude and elevation. This coordinate system never changes
but is not very precise.
OpenGL (or 'local') coordinates are cartesian and shift with the plane.
They offer more precision and are used for 3-d OpenGL drawing. The X axis
is aligned east-west with positive X meaning east. The Y axis is aligned
straight up and down at the point 0,0,0 (but since the earth is round it is
not truly straight up and down at other points). The Z axis is aligned
north-south at 0, 0, 0 with positive Z pointing south (but since the earth
is round it isn't exactly north-south as you move east or west of 0, 0, 0).
One unit is one meter and the point 0,0,0 is on the surface of the earth at
sea level for some latitude and longitude picked by the sim such that the
user's aircraft is reasonably nearby.
2-d Panel coordinates are 2d, with the X axis horizontal and the Y axis
vertical. The point 0,0 is the bottom left and 1024,768 is the upper
right of the screen. This is true no matter what resolution the user's
monitor is in; when running in higher resolution, graphics will be
scaled.
Use X-Plane's routines to convert between global and local coordinates. Do
not attempt to do this conversion yourself; the precise 'roundness' of
X-Plane's physics model may not match your own, and (to make things
weirder) the user can potentially customize the physics of the current
planet.

XPLMTextureID
XPLM Texture IDs name well-known textures in the sim for you to use. This
allows you to recycle textures from X-Plane, saving VRAM.
*Warning*: do not use these enums. The only remaining use they have is to
access the legacy compatibility v10 UI texture; if you need this, get it
via the Widgets library.

{
XPLMSetGraphicsState
XPLMSetGraphicsState changes OpenGL's fixed function pipeline state. You
are not responsible for restoring any state that is accessed via
XPLMSetGraphicsState, but you are responsible for not accessing this state
directly.
- inEnableFog - enables or disables fog, equivalent to: glEnable(GL_FOG);
- inNumberTexUnits - enables or disables a number of multitexturing units.
If the number is 0, 2d texturing is disabled entirely, as in
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D); Otherwise, 2d texturing is enabled, and a
number of multitexturing units are enabled sequentially, starting with
unit 0, e.g. glActiveTextureARB(GL_TEXTURE0_ARB); glEnable
(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
- inEnableLighting - enables or disables OpenGL lighting, e.g.
glEnable(GL_LIGHTING); glEnable(GL_LIGHT0);
- inEnableAlphaTesting - enables or disables the alpha test per pixel, e.g.
glEnable(GL_ALPHA_TEST);
- inEnableAlphaBlending - enables or disables alpha blending per pixel,
e.g. glEnable(GL_BLEND);
- inEnableDepthTesting - enables per pixel depth testing, as in
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
- inEnableDepthWriting - enables writing back of depth information to the
depth bufffer, as in glDepthMask(GL_TRUE);
The purpose of this function is to change OpenGL state while keeping
X-Plane aware of the state changes; this keeps X-Plane from getting
surprised by OGL state changes, and prevents X-Plane and plug-ins from
having to set all state before all draws; XPLMSetGraphicsState internally
skips calls to change state that is already properly enabled.
X-Plane does not have a 'default' OGL state for plug-ins with respect to
the above state vector; plug-ins should totally set OGL state using this
API before drawing. Use XPLMSetGraphicsState instead of any of the above
OpenGL calls.
WARNING: Any routine that performs drawing (e.g. XPLMDrawString or widget
code) may change X-Plane's state. Always set state before drawing after
unknown code has executed.
*Deprecation Warnings*: X-Plane's lighting and fog environemnt is
significantly more complex than the fixed function pipeline can express;
do not assume that lighting and fog state is a good approximation for 3-d
drawing. Prefer to use XPLMInstancing to draw objects. All calls to
XPLMSetGraphicsState should have no fog or lighting.

XPLMBindTexture2d
XPLMBindTexture2d changes what texture is bound to the 2d texturing
target. This routine caches the current 2d texture across all texturing
units in the sim and plug-ins, preventing extraneous binding. For
example, consider several plug-ins running in series; if they all use the
'general interface' bitmap to do UI, calling this function will skip the
rebinding of the general interface texture on all but the first plug-in,
which can provide better frame rate son some graphics cards.
inTextureID is the ID of the texture object to bind; inTextureUnit is a
zero-based texture unit (e.g. 0 for the first one), up to a maximum of 4
units. (This number may increase in future versions of X-Plane.)
Use this routine instead of glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, ....);

try to avoid round tripping from local to world and back.

XPLMFontID
X-Plane features some fixed-character fonts. Each font may have its own
metrics.
WARNING: Some of these fonts are no longer supported or may have changed
geometries. For maximum copmatibility, see the comments below.
Note: X-Plane 7 supports proportional-spaced fonts. Since no measuring
routine is available yet, the SDK will normally draw using a fixed-width
font. You can use a dataref to enable proportional font drawing on XP7 if
you want to.
