GLUTSETOPTION(3)

💖 glutSetOption(3) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, we're doing glutSetOption(3) from the OpenGLUT library — the state section, no less. it's giving "let me tweak the global vibes" and honestly? it ate. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <openglut.h>

void
glutSetOption(GLenum eWhat, int value);

like, two args, one call, zero drama. we love a low-effort icon. 💅

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

• eWhat — the enumerated parameter ID, aka which state variable you're coming for. it's the "who" of the operation, fr fr.
• value — the new value. the "what" you're stuffing into it. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically: it stores the value into a state variable named by eWhat. that's the whole plot. no cap. 🎀

here's the rundown of the allowable eWhat IDs, and bestie, there are quite a few, so let's go:

• GLUT_ACTION_ON_WINDOW_CLOSE — this one controls what happens when a window is closed by the user or by the system. the options are:
  • GLUT_ACTION_EXIT — will immediately exit the application. and yeah, this is the default. so if you didn't pick anything, surprise, you picked this. 💀
  • GLUT_ACTION_GLUTMAINLOOP_RETURNS — will immediately return from the main loop.
  • GLUT_ACTION_CONTINUE_EXECUTION — will contine execution of remaining windows. (yes, "contine" — that's the original spelling, i'm not touching it, it's part of the lore now 🙈)
• GLUT_INIT_DISPLAY_MODE — an alternate way to set the display mode for a new window.
• GLUT_INIT_WINDOW_HEIGHT — an alternate way to set the height of new windows.
• GLUT_INIT_WINDOW_WIDTH — an alternate way to set the width of new windows.
• GLUT_INIT_WINDOW_X — an alternate way to set the initial horizontal position of new windows.
• GLUT_INIT_WINDOW_Y — an alternate way to set the initial vertical position of new windows.
• GLUT_RENDERING_CONTEXT — set this to either GLUT_CREATE_NEW_CONTEXT or GUT_USE_CURRENT_CONTEXT to indicate whether to share the current OpenGL rendering context with new windows. (and yes, it really does say GUT_USE_CURRENT_CONTEXT — that missing L is living its best life, i'm reporting it exactly as it is, do not come for me 💅)
• GLUT_WINDOW_CURSOR — attempts to set the current window's current cursor as if by glutSetCursor(). it's giving "same energy, different door" ✨

lowkey the whole page is just "here's a state variable, here's its enum, go off." but that's iconic of it honestly.
