NAME
     glutSwapBuffers — Swaps the buffers for the current window.

LIBRARY
     OpenGLUT - window

SYNOPSIS
     #include <openglut.h>

     void
     glutSwapBuffers(void);

DESCRIPTION
     This function signals to OpenGLUT that you are done drawing to the	 cur‐
     rent window   for now.  If your window is double-buffered (  GLUT_DOUBLE
     param to glutInitDisplayMode()), then OpenGLUT will swap the front buffer
     with the back buffer.

     This also computes your current frame-rate and prints the result on
     stderr  if indicated by the  GLUT_FPS  environment variable.  The com‐
     puted value is not necessarily the total frame rate, if you have multiple
     windows, as the statistic is the total number of buffer-swaps for the
     entire program.

CAVEATS
     This function has no effect if your window is  GLUT_SINGLE	 .

     Frame rate is only calculated for double-buffered windows.

TODO
     How does this interact with overlays?

     Consider making  GLUT_FPS	keep per-window stats in a multi-window pro‐
     gram.
