glutPositionWindow(3GLUT) GLUT glutPositionWindow(3GLUT)

NAME
glutPositionWindow - requests a change to the position of
the current window.

SYNTAX
void glutPositionWindow(int x, int y);

ARGUMENTS
x New X location of window in pixels.

y New Y location of window in pixels.

DESCRIPTION
glutPositionWindow requests a change in the position of
the current window. For top-level windows, the x and y
parameters are pixel offsets from the screen origin. For
subwindows, the x and y parameters are pixel offsets from
the window’s parent window origin.

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

In the case of top-level windows, a glutPositionWindow
call is considered only a request for positioning the win-
dow. The window system is free to apply its own policies
to top-level window placement. The intent is that top-
level windows should be repositioned according glutPosi-
tionWindow’s parameters.

glutPositionWindow disables the full screen status of a
window if previously enabled.
