NAMEglutIconifyWindow — Iconify the current window
LIBRARY
OpenGLUT - window
SYNOPSIS
#include <openglut.h>
void
glutIconifyWindow(void);
DESCRIPTION
Most window systems have some kind of ``minimized'' or ``iconified''
state for windows. All systems currently supported by OpenGLUT do so.
The exact meaning of iconification is somewhat system-dependant, but this
makes a request of the window system to place the window into this state.
Graphic output is usually suspended in this form. User input may be par‐
tially or wholly suspended.
If and when your window is iconified by the window system, it may be uni‐
conified at any time by the system. This usually happens at the request
of a user. Because of this, you should not use this function to hide a
window. Rather, it is to help unclutter the user's display, and is more
or less consensual with the user. Use glutHideWindow() if you want to
hide the window entirely.
CAVEATS
Applies only to onscreen, top-level windows.
Not guaranteed to have any effect; effect may be arbitrarily delayed.
There is no callback that specifically tells you when (or if) your window
is iconified.
