GLUTPUSHWINDOW(3)

GLUTPUSHWINDOW(3) πŸ¦‹βœ¨ β€” OpenGLUT window manual, periodt

okay bestie, this is the OpenGLUT - window page, and we're gonna talk about pushing windows around like it's a group chat and someone said something out of pocket. πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

glutPushWindow β€” Request to lower the current window to the bottom. 🫸πŸͺŸ


πŸŽ€ LIBRARY πŸŽ€

OpenGLUT - window πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <openglut.h>

void
glutPushWindow(void);

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

okay so glutPushWindow() is literally requesting that the current window be β€œpushed” to the back. no cap. 🫢

A window can be in front of or behind other windows, and that whole situation is determined by the z-order from front to back. Top-level OpenGLUT windows can be placed at the front or back of the z-order by means of the glutPopWindow() and glutPushWindow() API functions. iconic behavior, honestly. πŸ‘‘

A z-order also applies to the subwindows of a top-level window. While the z-order of top-level windows can usually be adjusted by the user, subwindow z-order is controlled entirely by the application. the app is the main character there, fr fr. πŸ’…

There may not be an immediate effect to this function. Wait for the glutWindowStatusFunc() callback to tell you about whatever obscured/visible status your window achieves. so like, don't spiral if it doesn't move instantly, bestie. ⏳😭


πŸ’€ CAVEATS πŸ’€

bestie, listen up, because this part is important:
  • The z-order of top-level windows is ultimately managed by the windowing system. Therefore, a push or pop request by an OpenGLUT application may not necessarily succeed or take immediate effect. 😭
  • Not applicable to offscreen windows. πŸ™ˆ
