💖 icetGLInitialize 💖

okay bestie, so this is icetGLInitialize(3) from the IceT Reference — yes, the IceT manual, and yes, it's iconic. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

icetGLInitialize — initialize the IceT OpenGL layer 🎀

✨ Synopsis ✨

#include <IceTGL.h>

void icetGLInitialize(   void   );

✨ Description ✨

So like, this function initializes the OpenGL layer of IceT. that's the whole vibe. ✨

the rule: icetGLInitialize must be called before any other function starting with icetGL — the only exception is icetGLIsInitialized. literally the only one. don't try it with the others, it's not gonna be cute 💅

Management for the OpenGL layer is held in the state of the current IceT context. so like, the GL layer's whole situation lives inside your context's state. which means icetGLInitialize must be called once per IceT context — one context, one call, periodt. no reusing, no skipping 🧚

And if you're using a context for rendering with OpenGL? recommendation time: call icetGLInitialize immediately after calling icetCreateContext. like, right after. back to back. main character scheduling 💜

✨ Errors ✨

None. not a single one. flawless behavior, no notes 🌸

✨ Warnings ✨

  • ICET_INVALID_OPERATION — this happens when icetGLInitialize is called twice for the same context. so don't do that. once per context, remember? 😭

✨ Bugs ✨

None known. she's perfect, your honor 👑
