NAMEglutCreateWindow — Create a new top-level window
LIBRARY
OpenGLUT - window
SYNOPSIS
#include <openglut.h>
int
glutCreateWindow(const char* title);
PARAMETERS
title Title for created window
DESCRIPTION
This function sends a request for a window to be constructed. OpenGLUT
immediately constructs a data structure to track further events with the
window, on the theory that eventually the window manager will get back to
us with a real window. This allows us to begin registering callbacks
immediately.
In fact, you must register a display callback via glutDisplayFunc()
before you enter glutMainLoop().
For onscreen windows, you should not depend upon the window concretely
existing or being visibile until you are told that it exists and is visi‐
ble via a registered callback.
The return value is an int. It should be positive for valid windows
or 0 if failure occurred for some reason (Though traditional GLUT tends
to bail out and abort rather than returning errors.) The integer is your
window id . Old GLUT promises that these integers are ``small''; we do
not reuse old id s, but do produce them sequentially.
You can change the title later via glutSetWindowTitle().
