glutshowwindow(3)

NAME

glutShowWindow, glutHideWindow, glutIconifyWindow - change
the display status of the current window.

SYNTAX

void glutShowWindow(void);
void glutHideWindow(void);
void glutIconifyWindow(void);

DESCRIPTION

glutShowWindow will show the current window (though it may
still not be visible if obscured by other shown windows).
glutHideWindow will hide the current window. glutIconify
Window will iconify a top-level window, but GLUT prohibits
iconification of a subwindow. The effect of showing, hid
ing, and iconifying windows does not take place immedi
ately. Instead the requests are saved for execution upon
return to the GLUT event loop. Subsequent show, hide, or
iconification requests on a window replace the previously
saved request for that window. The effect of hiding, show
ing, or iconifying top-level windows is subject to the
window system's policy for displaying windows.
