NAME

glutUseLayer - Allows you to switch between normal and layer mode.

LIBRARY

OpenGLUT - overlays

SYNOPSIS

In openglut.h Ft void Fn glutUseLayer GLenum layer

PARAMETERS

Bf Em
layer Ef
Whether to be in a layer or in the normal window.

DESCRIPTION

By default, OpenGLUT operates in "normal" mode, with respect to layers. If you have a layer open and wish to operate on the layer, you must use glutUseLayer().

Bf Sy
layer Ef
can take on the following values, indicating the layer mode to use:

- Bf Sy
GLUT_NORMAL Ef

- Bf Sy
GLUT_LAYER Ef

CAVEATS

Unimplemented.

It is unclear what the consequences are if you are in Bf Sy
GLUT_OVERLAY Ef
mode and switch to another (or the same) window via glutSetWindow(). What if the target has a layer? What if it doesn't?
