glutCreateSubWindow(3GLUT) GLUT glutCreateSubWindow(3GLUT)
NAME
glutCreateSubWindow - creates a subwindow.
SYNTAX
int glutCreateSubWindow(int win,
int x, int y, int width, int height);
ARGUMENTS
win Identifier of the subwindow's parent window.
x Window X location in pixels relative to parent window's ori-
gin.
y Window Y location in pixels relative to parent window's ori-
gin.
width Width in pixels.
height Height in pixels.
DESCRIPTION
glutCreateSubWindow creates a subwindow of the window identified by win
of size width and height at location x and y within the current window.
Implicitly, the current window is set to the newly created subwindow.
Each created window has a unique associated OpenGL context. State
changes to a window's associated OpenGL context can be done immediately
after the window is created.
The display state of a window is initially for the window to be shown.
But the window's display state is not actually acted upon until glut-
MainLoop is entered. This means until glutMainLoop is called, rendering
to a created window is ineffective. Subwindows can not be iconified.
Subwindows can be nested arbitrarily deep.
The value returned is a unique small integer identifier for the window.
The range of allocated identifiers starts at one.
