LIBRARY

OpenGLUT - window

SYNOPSIS

In openglut.h Ft void Fn glutInitDisplayString const char *displayMode

PARAMETERS

Bf Em
 displayMode Ef
    Requested display mode string.

DESCRIPTION

glutInitDisplayString() permits you to define a display mode for subsequent windows that you open. In most regards, control is at least as fine as with glutInitDisplaymode().

The Bf Sy
 displayMode Ef
 parameter is case-sensitive, and tokens are separated by ASCII TABs (\t) and SPACEs.

Number of Bf Sy
 RGBA Ef
 accumulation bits. Enables Bf Sy
 GLUT_ACCUM. Ef

CAVEATS

Conflicting modes, such as Bf Sy
 single Ef
 and  Bf Sy
 double Ef
 have the same interaction as for glutInitDisplayMode().

TODO

Bf Sy
 GLUT_BORDERLESS Ef
 and  Bf Sy
 GLUT_OFFSCREEN Ef
 are not represented.

Not all features appear to be implemented. In particular, numeric parameters and comparator specifications are lacking. See GLUT 3.7 sources for example.
