observer callbacks. See add_reload_observer() and remove_reload_observer() for more information.

add_reload_observer(callback, before=False)

(internal) Add a callback to be called after the whole graphics context has been reloaded. This is where you can reupload your custom data into the GPU.

Parameters
callback: func(context) -> return None

The first parameter will be the context itself

before: boolean, defaults to False

If True, the callback will be executed before all the reloading processes. Use it if you want to clear your cache for example.

Changed in version 1.4.0: before parameter added.
