GLUTHIDEOVERLAY(3)

✨ glutHideOverlay ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about glutHideOverlay — the function whose entire job is "make an overlay invisible." that's it. that's the whole thing. 💅

it lives in the OpenGLUT library, specifically in the overlays department. overlays, if you didn't know, are those extra little layers you can slap on top of a window, iykyk. 🎀

📚 LIBRARY

OpenGLUT — overlays 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS

#include <openglut.h>

void
glutHideOverlay(void);

no arguments, no return value, no drama. it just takes void and minds its own business. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION

so here's the vibe: if you've got a visible overlay and you want it to become invisible, you call this. that's the glow-up in reverse. 🙈

it applies to the current window — as in, whichever window is currently the one being worked with. so like, the overlay of that window, not some random other window. 👑

💀 CAVEATS

Unimplemented. 😭

fr fr, this one isn't actually implemented. like, the function exists in the docs and in your heart, but not in the actual working code. no cap. don't build your whole app around it and then act surprised. 💀

👀 SEE ALSO

these are the sibling functions, the rest of the overlay friend group:

• glutEstablishOverlay(3) — sets an overlay up ✨
• glutRemoveOverlay(3) — takes an overlay away 🫶
• glutUseLayer(3) — picks which layer you're working in 🌈
• glutPostOverlayRedisplay(3) — marks the overlay as needing a redraw 🔥
• glutPostWindowOverlayRedisplay(3) — same energy, but for a specific window ⭐
• glutShowOverlay(3) — the opposite bestie, makes an overlay visible again 💖

and that's the whole page, bestie! this one's from the OpenGLUT crew, and ngl the footer is giving absolutely nothing — it's marked UNDATED with the manual section showing as UNTITLED(). mysterious. iconic. we simply don't know when it was written and honestly? it's keeping that secret on purpose. 💅✨🦋
