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 origin.

y Window Y location in pixels relative to parent
window’s origin.

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 con-
text. State changes to a window’s associated OpenGL con-
text 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 actu-
ally acted upon until glutMainLoop is entered. This means
until glutMainLoop is called, rendering to a created win-
dow 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.
