glutFullScreen(3GLUT) GLUT glutFullScreen(3GLUT)

NAME
glutFullScreen - requests that the current window be made
full screen.

SYNTAX
void glutFullScreen(void);

DESCRIPTION
glutFullScreen requests that the current window be made
full screen. The exact semantics of what full screen
means may vary by window system. The intent is to make the
window as large as possible and disable any window decora-
tions or borders added the window system. The window width
and height are not guaranteed to be the same as the screen
width and height, but that is the intent of making a win-
dow full screen.

glutFullScreen is defined to work only on top-level win-
dows.

The glutFullScreen requests are not processed immediately.
The request is executed after returning to the main event
loop. This allows multiple glutReshapeWindow, glutPosi-
tionWindow, and glutFullScreen requests to the same window
to be coalesced.

Subsequent glutReshapeWindow and glutPositionWindow
requests on the window will disable the full screen status
of the window.

X IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
In the X implementation of GLUT, full screen is imple-
mented by sizing and positioning the window to cover the
entire screen and posting the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property on
the window requesting absolutely no decorations. Non-Motif
window managers may not respond to _MOTIF_WM_HINTS.
