GLXCREATEWINDOW(3G)		 OpenGL Manual		   GLXCREATEWINDOW(3G)

NAME
       glXCreateWindow - create an on-screen rendering area

C SPECIFICATION
       GLXWindow glXCreateWindow(Display * dpy, GLXFBConfig config,
				 Window win, const int * attrib_list);

PARAMETERS
       dpy
	   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       config
	   Specifies a GLXFBConfig structure with the desired attributes for
	   the window.

       win
	   Specifies the X window to be used as the rendering area.

       attrib_list
	   Currently unused. This must be set to NULL or be an empty list
	   (i.e., one in which the first element is None).

DESCRIPTION
       glXCreateWindow creates an on-screen rendering area from an existing X
       window that was created with a visual matching config. The XID of the
       GLXWindow is returned. Any GLX rendering context that was created with
       respect to config can be used to render into this window. Use
       glXMakeContextCurrent() to associate the rendering area with a GLX
       rendering context.

NOTES
       glXCreateWindow is available only if the GLX version is 1.3 or greater.

       If the GLX version is 1.1 or 1.0, the GL version must be 1.0. If the
       GLX version is 1.2, then the GL version must be 1.1. If the GLX version
       is 1.3, then the GL version must be 1.2.

ERRORS
       BadMatch is generated if win was not created with a visual that
       corresponds to config.

       BadMatch is generated if config does not support rendering to windows
       (i.e., GLX_DRAWABLE_TYPE does not contain GLX_WINDOW_BIT).

       BadWindow is generated if win is not a valid pixmap XID.

       BadAlloc is generated if there is already a GLXFBConfig associated with
       win.

       BadAlloc is generated if the X server cannot allocate a new GLX window.

       GLXBadFBConfig is generated if config is not a valid GLXFBConfig.
