GLUTINITWINDOWSIZE(3)

💖 glutInitWindowSize(3) 💖

okay bestie, come sit with me, we're gonna talk about glutInitWindowSize(3) and it's genuinely gonna change your window-opening life ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

glutInitWindowSize — Requests future windows to open at a given width/height. periodt. 💅

---

🎀 LIBRARY 🎀

OpenGLUT — window 🪟

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <openglut.h>

void
glutInitWindowSize(int width, int height);

like. that's it. that's the whole thing. so simple. so iconic. 👑

---

💜 PARAMETERS 💜

• width — Width of future windows. yes bestie, future windows, we're manifesting here 🔮
• height — Height of future windows. the vertical situation. the up-and-down of it all 📐

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This function allows you to request initial dimensions for future windows. no cap, you're literally just telling GLUT "hey, when you open my next window, make it this big" and it goes "say less" 🫶

There is a callback function to inform you of the new window shape (whether initially opened, changed by your glutReshapeWindow() request, or changed directly by the user). so like, three ways your window can end up a different size than you asked:

1. it just opened that way, whatever 🌱
2. you asked for a resize with glutReshapeWindow() 🧚
3. the actual user dragged it around with their little mouse, main character energy fr 💀

and the callback is how you find out. iykyk 🔥
