🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <openglut.h>

void
glutShowWindow(void);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so glutShowWindow() sends a request to the window system asking it to make the current window visible. That's it. That's the vibe. 🫶

Real talk though: you usually don't need this. When you create a window, it will normally become visible all by itself. Unless you specifically hide it, it's gonna stay visible. Periodt. 💅

But visible does not mean unobstructed, bestie. Your window can still be covered by other windows — and that's a window stacking order situation, not a visibility one. So don't blame glutShowWindow() for that, okay? 😌

And when, and if, your window's visibility status changes? You may find out via a glutWindowStatusFunc() callback. Not me hyping callbacks, but here we are. 🔥
