<h1> 2.0 <a name="Introduction"></a>
Introduction</h1>
<h1> 3.0 <a name="Background"></a>
Background</h1>
The OpenGL programming world owes a tremendous debt to Mr. Mark J. Kilgard
for writing the OpenGL Utility Toolkit, or GLUT. The GLUT library
of functions allows an application programmer to create, control, and manipulate
windows independent of what operating system the program is running on.
By hiding the dependency on the operating system from the application programmer,
he allowed people to write truly portable OpenGL applications.
<p> Mr. Kilgard copyrighted
his library and gave it a rather unusual license. Under his license,
people are allowed freely to copy and distribute the libraries and the source
code, but they are not allowed to modify it. For a long time this did
not matter because the GLUT library worked so well and because Mr. Kilgard
was releasing updates on a regular basis. But with the passage of time,
people started wanting some slightly different behaviours in their windowing
system. When Mr. Kilgard stopped supporting the GLUT library in 1999,
having moved on to bigger and better things, this started to become a problem.
</p>
<p> In December 1999,
Mr. Pawel Olzsta started work on an open-source clone of the GLUT library.
This open-source clone, which does not use any of the GLUT source code, has
evolved into the present <i>freeglut</i> library. This documentation
specifies the application program interface to the <i>freeglut</i> library.
</p>
<h2> 3.1 Design Philosophy</h2>
<h2> 3.2 Conventions</h2>
<h2> 3.3 Terminology</h2>
<h2> 3.4 Differences from GLUT 3.7</h2>
Since the <i>freeglut</i> library was developed in order to update GLUT,
it is natural that there will be some differences between the two.
Each function in the API notes any differences between the GLUT and the <i>
freeglut</i> function behaviours. The important ones are summarized
here.
<h3> 3.4.1 glutMainLoop Behaviour</h3>
One of the commonest complaints about the GLUT library was that once an
application called "<tt>glutMainLoop</tt>", it never got control back.
There was no way for an application to loop in GLUT for a while, possibly
as a subloop while a specific window was open, and then return to the calling
function. A new function, "<tt>glutMainLoopEvent</tt>", has been added
to allow this functionality. Another function, "<tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt>
", has also been added to allow the application to tell <i>freeglut</i> to clean
up and close down.
<h3> 3.4.2 Action on Window Closure</h3>
Another difficulty with GLUT, especially with multiple-window programs,
is that if the user clicks on the "x" in the window header the application
exits immediately. The application programmer can now set an option,
"<tt> GLUT_ACTION_ON_WINDOW_CLOSE</tt>", to specify whether execution should
continue, whether GLUT should return control to the main program, or whether
GLUT should simply exit (the default).
<h3>3.4.3 Changes to Callbacks<br>
</h3>
Several new callbacks have been added and several callbacks which were specific
to Silicon Graphics hardware have not been implemented. Most or all
of the new callbacks are listed in the GLUT Version 4 "glut.h" header file
but did not make it into the documentation. The new callbacks consist
of regular and special key release callbacks, a joystick callback, a window
status callback, window closure callbacks, a menu closure callback, and a
mouse wheel callback. Unsupported callbacks are the three Spaceball
callbacks, the ButtonBox callback, and the two Tablet
callbacks. If the user has a need for an unsupported callback he should
contact the <i>freeglut</i> development team.<br>
<h3>3.4.4 String Rendering<br>
</h3>
New functions have been added to render full character strings (including
carriage returns) rather than rendering one character at a time. More
functions return the widths of character strings and the font heights, in
pixels for bitmapped fonts and in OpenGL units for the stroke fonts.<br>
<h3>3.4.5 Geometry Rendering<br>
</h3>
Functions have been added to render a wireframe and a solid rhombic
dodecahedron, a cylinder, and a Sierpinski sponge.
<h3> 3.4.5 Extension Function Queries</h3>
glutGetProcAddress is a wrapper for the glXGetProcAddressARB and wglGetProcAddress
functions.

<h2> 4.1 glutInit</h2>
<h2> 4.2 glutInitWindowPosition, glutInitWindowSize</h2>
The "<tt>glutInitWindowPosition</tt> " and "<tt>glutInitWindowSize</tt>
" functions specify a desired position and size for windows that <i>freeglut</i>
will create in the future.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>void glutInitWindowPosition ( int
x, int y ) ;</tt> <br>
<tt>void glutInitWindowSize ( int width,
int height ) ;</tt> </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The "<tt>glutInitWindowPosition</tt>
" and "<tt>glutInitWindowSize</tt>" functions specify a desired position
and size for windows that <i>freeglut</i> will create in the future.
The position is measured in pixels from the upper left hand corner of the
screen, with "x" increasing to the right and "y" increasing towards the bottom
of the screen. The size is measured in pixels. <i>Freeglut</i>
does not promise to follow these specifications in creating its windows,
it certainly makes an attempt to. </p>
<p>The position and size of a window are
a matter of some subtlety. Most windows have a usable area surrounded
by a border and with a title bar on the top. The border and title bar
are commonly called "decorations." The position of the window unfortunately
varies with the operating system. On Linux, it is the coordinates of
the upper left-hand corner of its decorations. On Windows, it is the
coordinates of the upper left hand corner of its usable interior. For
both operating systems, the size of the window is the size of the usable interior.
</p>
<p>Windows has some additional quirks which
the application programmer should know about. First, the minimum y-coordinate
of a window decoration is zero. (This is a feature of <i>freeglut</i>
and can be adjusted if so desired.) Second, there appears to be a
minimum window width on Windows which is 104 pixels. The user may specify
a smaller width, but the Windows system calls ignore it. It is also
impossible to make a window narrower than this by dragging on its corner.
</p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>For some reason, GLUT is not affected
by the 104-pixel minimum window width. If the user clicks on the corner
of a window which is narrower than this amount, the window will immediately
snap out to this width, but the application can call "<tt>glutReshapeWindow</tt>
" and make a window narrower again. </p>
<h2> 4.3 glutInitDisplayMode</h2>
<h2> 4.4 glutInitDisplayString</h2>
<h1> 5.0 <a name="EventProcessing"></a>
Event Processing Functions</h1>
After an application has finished initializing its windows and menus, it
enters an event loop. Within this loop, <i>freeglut</i> polls the
data entry devices (keyboard, mouse, etc.) and calls the application's appropriate
callbacks.
<p>In GLUT, control never returned from
the event loop (as invoked by the "<tt>glutMainLoop</tt>" function) to the
calling function. This prevented an application from having re-entrant
code, in which GLUT could be invoked from within a callback, and it prevented
the application from doing any post-processing (such as freeing allocated
memory) after GLUT had closed down. <i>Freeglut</i> allows the application
programmer to specify more direct control over the event loop by means of
two new functions. The first, "<tt>glutMainLoopEvent</tt>", processes
a single iteration of the event loop and allows the application to use a different
event loop controller or to contain re-entrant code. The second, "<tt>
glutLeaveMainLoop</tt>", causes the event loop to exit nicely; this is preferable
to the application's calling "<tt>exit</tt>" from within a GLUT callback.
</p>
<h2> 5.1 glutMainLoop</h2>
The "<tt>glutMainLoop</tt>" function enters the event loop.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>void glutMainLoop ( void ) ;</tt>
</p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The "<tt>glutMainLoop</tt>" function
causes the program to enter the window event loop. An application should
call this function at most once. It will call any application callback
functions as required to process mouse clicks, mouse motion, key presses,
and so on. </p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>In GLUT, there was absolutely no way
for the application programmer to have control return from the "<tt>glutMainLoop</tt>
" function to the calling function. <i>Freeglut</i> allows the programmer
to force this by setting the "<tt>GLUT_ACTION_ON_WINDOW_CLOSE</tt>" option
and invoking the "<tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt>" function from one of the callbacks.
Stopping the program this way is preferable to simply calling "<tt>exit</tt>
" from within a callback because this allows <i>freeglut</i> to free allocated
memory and otherwise clean up after itself. (I know I just said this,
but I think it is important enough that it bears repeating.) </p>
<h2> 5.2 glutMainLoopEvent</h2>
The "<tt>glutMainLoopEvent</tt>" function processes a single iteration
in the <i>freeglut</i> event loop.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>void glutMainLoopEvent ( void ) ;</tt>
</p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The "<tt>glutMainLoopEvent</tt>
" function causes <i>freeglut</i> to process one iteration's worth of events
in its event loop. This allows the application to control its own event
loop and still use the <i>freeglut</i> windowing system. </p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>GLUT does not include this function.
</p>
<h2> 5.3 glutLeaveMainLoop</h2>
The "<tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt>" function causes <i>freeglut</i> to stop
its event loop.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>void glutLeaveMainLoop ( void ) ;</tt>
</p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The "<tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt>
" function causes <i>freeglut</i> to stop the event loop. If the
"<tt> GLUT_ACTION_ON_WINDOW_CLOSE</tt>" option has been set to "<tt>GLUT_ACTION_CONTINUE_EXECUTION</tt>
", control will return to the function which called "<tt>glutMainLoop</tt>
"; otherwise the application will exit. </p>
<p>If the application has two nested calls
to "<tt>glutMainLoop</tt>" and calls "<tt>glutLeaveMainLoop</tt>", the behaviour
of <i>freeglut</i> is undefined. It may leave only the inner nested
loop or it may leave both loops. If the reader has a strong preference
for one behaviour over the other he should contact the <i>freeglut</i> Programming
Consortium and ask for the code to be fixed. </p>

Freeglut</i> calls the idle callback when there are no inputs from the user.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>void glutIdleFunc ( void (*func)
( void ) ) ;</tt> </p>
<p><tt>func </tt>The new
global idle callback function </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The "<tt>glutIdleFunc</tt>" function
specifies the function that <i>freeglut</i> will call to perform background
processing tasks such as continuous animation when window system events are
not being received. If enabled, this function is called continuously
from <i>freeglut</i> while no events are received. The callback function
has no parameters and returns no value. <i>Freeglut</i> does not change
the <i>current window</i> or the <i>current menu</i> before invoking the idle
callback; programs with multiple windows or menus must explicitly set the
<i>current window</i> and <i>current menu</i>
and not rely on its current setting. <br>
The amount of computation and rendering done in an idle
callback should be minimized to avoid affecting the program's interactive
response. In general, no more than a single frame of rendering should
be done in a single invocation of an idle callback. <br>
Calling "<tt>glutIdleFunc</tt>" with a NULL argument
disables the call to an idle callback. </p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>Application programmers should note that
if they have specified the "continue execution" action on window closure,
<i>freeglut</i> will continue to call the
idle callback after the user has closed a window by clicking on the "x" in
the window header bar. If the idle callback renders a particular window
(this is considered bad form but is frequently done anyway), the programmer
should supply a window closure callback for that window which changes or disables
the idle callback. </p>

user releases a key from the keyboard. The callback function has one
argument: the name of the function to be invoked ("called back") at
the time at which the key is released. The function returns no value.
<i>Freeglut</i> sets the <i>current window</i>
to the window which is active when the callback is invoked. <br>
While <i>freeglut</i> checks for upper or lower case
letters, it does not do so for non-alphabetical characters. Nor does
it account for the Caps-Lock key being on. The operating system may
send some unexpected characters to <i>freeglut</i>, such as "8" when the
user is pressing the Shift key. <i>Freeglut</i> also invokes the callback
when the user releases the Control, Alt, or Shift keys, among others.
Releasing the Delete key causes this function to be invoked with a value
of 127 for "<tt>key</tt>". <br>

<h1> 14.0 <a name="FontRendering"></a>
Font Rendering Functions</h1>
<i>Freeglut</i> supports two types of font rendering: bitmap fonts,
which are rendered using the "<tt>glBitmap</tt>" function call, and stroke
fonts, which are rendered as sequences of OpenGL line segments. Because
they are rendered as bitmaps, the bitmap fonts tend to render more quickly
than stroke fonts, but they are less flexible in terms of scaling and rendering.
Bitmap font characters are positioned with calls to the "<tt>glRasterPos*</tt>
" functions while stroke font characters use the OpenGL transformations
to position characters.
<p> It should be noted
that <i>freeglut</i> fonts are similar but not identical to GLUT fonts.
At the moment, <i>freeglut</i> fonts do not support the "`" (backquote) and
"|" (vertical line) characters; in their place it renders asterisks. </p>
<p> <i>Freeglut</i> supports
the following bitmap fonts: </p>
<ul>
<li> <tt>GLUT_BITMAP_8_BY_13</tt> - A variable-width font with every character
fitting in a rectangle of 13 pixels high by at most 8 pixels wide.</li>
<li> <tt>GLUT_BITMAP_9_BY_15</tt> - A variable-width font with every character
fitting in a rectangle of 15 pixels high by at most 9 pixels wide.</li>
<li> <tt>GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_10</tt> - A 10-point variable-width Times
Roman font.</li>
<li> <tt>GLUT_BITMAP_TIMES_ROMAN_24</tt> - A 24-point variable-width Times
Roman font.</li>
<li> <tt>GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_10</tt> - A 10-point variable-width Helvetica
font.</li>
<li> <tt>GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_12</tt> - A 12-point variable-width Helvetica
font.</li>
<li> <tt>GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_18</tt> - A 18-point variable-width Helvetica
font.</li>
</ul>
<i>Freeglut</i> calls "<tt>glRasterPos4v</tt>" to advance the cursor by
the width of a character and to render carriage returns when appropriate.
It does not use any display lists in it rendering in bitmap fonts.
<p> <i>Freeglut</i> supports
the following stroke fonts: </p>
<ul>
<li> <tt>GLUT_STROKE_ROMAN</tt> - A proportionally-spaced Roman Simplex
font</li>
<li> <tt>GLUT_STROKE_MONO_ROMAN</tt> - A fixed-width Roman Simplex font</li>
</ul>
<i>Freeglut</i> does not use any display lists in its rendering of stroke
fonts. It calls "<tt>glTranslatef</tt>" to advance the cursor by the
width of a character and to render carriage returns when appropriate.
<h2> 14.1 glutBitmapCharacter</h2>
The "<tt>glutBitmapCharacter</tt>" function renders a single bitmapped
character in the <i>current window</i> using the specified font.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>void glutBitmapCharacter ( void *font,
int character ) ;</tt> </p>
<p><tt>font
</tt>The bitmapped font to use in rendering
the character <br>
<tt>character </tt>The ASCII
code of the character to be rendered </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The "<tt>glutBitmapCharacter</tt>
" function renders the given character in the specified bitmap font.
<i>Freeglut</i> automatically sets the necessary
pixel unpack storage modes and restores the existing modes when it has finished.
Before the first call to "<tt>glutBitMapCharacter</tt> " the application
program should call "<tt>glRasterPos*</tt>" to set the position of the character
in the window. The "<tt>glutBitmapCharacter</tt> " function advances
the cursor position as part of its call to "<tt>glBitmap</tt> " and so the
application does not need to call "<tt>glRasterPos*</tt>" again for successive
characters on the same line. </p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>Nonexistent characters are rendered as
asterisks. The rendering position in <i>freeglut</i> is apparently off
from GLUT's position by a few pixels vertically and one or two pixels horizontally.
</p>
<h2> 14.2 glutBitmapString</h2>
The "<tt>glutBitmapString</tt>" function renders a string of bitmapped
characters in the <i>current window</i> using the specified font.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>
<p><tt>void glutBitmapString ( void *font,

<p><tt>font
</tt>The stroke font to use in calculating
the character width <br>
<tt>character </tt>The ASCII
code of the character </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The "<tt>glutStrokeWidth</tt>"
function returns the width of the given character in the specified stroke
font. Because the font is a stroke font, the width is actually a floating-point
number; the function rounds it to the nearest integer for the return value.
</p>
<p><b>Changes From GLUT</b> </p>
<p>Nonexistent characters return the width
of an asterisk. </p>
<h2> 14.9 glutStrokeLength</h2>
The "<tt>glutStrokeLength</tt>" function returns the width in pixels of
a string of characters in the specified stroke font.
<p><b>Usage</b> </p>

char *string ) ;</tt> </p>
<p><tt>font </tt>The stroke
font to use in calculating the character width <br>

whose width is to be calculated </p>
<p><b>Description</b> </p>
<p>The "<tt>glutStrokeLength</tt>
" function returns the width in pixels of the given character string in
the specified stroke font. Because the font is a stroke font, the width
of an individual character is a floating-point number. <i>Freeglut</i>
adds the floating-point widths and rounds the funal result to return the
integer value. Thus the return value may differ from the sum of the
character widths returned by a series of calls to "<tt>glutStrokeWidth</tt>

<h1> 15.0 <a name="GeometricObject"></a>
Geometric Object Rendering Functions</h1>
<i>Freeglut</i> includes eighteen routines for generating easily-recognizable
3-d geometric objects. These routines are effectively the same ones
that are included in the GLUT library, and reflect the functionality available
in the <i>aux</i> toolkit described in the <i>OpenGL Programmer's Guide</i>
. They are included to allow programmers to create with a single
line of code a three-dimensional object which can be used to test a variety
of OpenGL functionality. None of the routines generates a display list
for the object which it draws. The functions generate normals appropriate
for lighting but, except for the teapon functions, do not generate texture
coordinates.

Application programmers who are porting their GLUT programs to <i>freeglut</i> may continue
to include <tt><GL/glut.h></tt> in their programs.
Programs which use the <i>freeglut</i>-specific extensions to GLUT should include
<tt><GL/freeglut.h></tt>. One possible arrangement is as follows:
</p>
<pre>
#ifdef FREEGLUT
#include <GL/freeglut_ext.h>
#else
#include <GL/glut.h>
#endif
</pre>
<p>
Compile-time <i>freeglut</i> version testing can be done as follows:
</p>
<pre>
#ifdef FREEGLUT_VERSION_2_0
code specific to freeglut 2.0 or later here
#endif
</pre>
<p>
In future releases, FREEGLUT_VERSION_2_1, FREEGLUT_VERSION_2_2, etc will
be defined. This scheme mimics OpenGL conventions.
</p>
<p>
The <i>freeglut</i> version can be queried at runtime by calling
glutGet(GLUT_VERSION).
The result will be X*10000+Y*100+Z where X is the major version, Y is the
minor version and Z is the patch level.
</p>
<p>
This may be used as follows:
</p>
<pre>
if (glutGet(GLUT_VERSION) < 20001) {
printf("Sorry, you need freeglut version 2.0.1 or later to run this program.\n");
exit(1);
}
