glutShowWindow(3GLUT) GLUT glutShowWindow(3GLUT)

NAME
glutShowWindow, glutHideWindow, glutIconifyWindow - change
the display status of the current window.

SYNTAX
void glutShowWindow(void);
void glutHideWindow(void);
void glutIconifyWindow(void);

DESCRIPTION
glutShowWindow will show the current window (though it may
still not be visible if obscured by other shown windows).
glutHideWindow will hide the current window. glutIconify-
Window will iconify a top-level window, but GLUT prohibits
iconification of a subwindow. The effect of showing, hid-
ing, and iconifying windows does not take place immedi-
ately. Instead the requests are saved for execution upon
return to the GLUT event loop. Subsequent show, hide, or
iconification requests on a window replace the previously
saved request for that window. The effect of hiding, show-
ing, or iconifying top-level windows is subject to the
window system’s policy for displaying windows.
