Description
Description
For event-driven applications it is sometimes desirable to always render in response to frame request callbacks. Currently there is no way to ensure the delivery of a frame callback without either presenting via the WSI or manually performing wayland requests.
It is already possible to create frame requests at any point. But winit provides no API to commit such a frame request.
