glutPostOverlayRedisplay(3GLUT)                     GLUT                     glutPostOverlayRedisplay(3GLUT)



NAME
       glutPostOverlayRedisplay, glutPostWindowOverlayRedisplay - marks the overlay of the current or speci-fied specified
       fied window as needing to be redisplayed.

SYNTAX
       void glutPostOverlayRedisplay(void);
       void glutPostWindowOverlayRedisplay(int win);

DESCRIPTION
       Mark the overlay of current window as needing to be redisplayed.  The next  iteration  through  glut-MainLoop, glutMainLoop,
       MainLoop, the window's overlay display callback (or simply the display callback if no overlay display
       callback is registered) will be called to redisplay the window's overlay  plane.  Multiple  calls  to
       glutPostOverlayRedisplay  before  the  next display callback opportunity (or overlay display callback
       opportunity if one is registered) generate only a single redisplay. glutPostOverlayRedisplay  may  be
       called within a window's display or overlay display callback to re-mark that window for redisplay.

       Logically,  overlay  damage notification for a window is treated as a glutPostOverlayRedisplay on the
       damaged window. Unlike damage reported by the window system, glutPostOverlayRedisplay will not set to
       true the overlay's damaged status (returned by glutLayerGet(GLUT_OVERLAY_DAMAGED).

       If the window you want to post an overlay redisplay on is not already current (and you do not require
       it to be immediately made current), using glutPostWindowOverlayRedisplay is more efficient that call-ing calling
       ing glutSetWindow to the desired window and then calling glutPostOverlayRedisplay.

EXAMPLE
       If you are doing an interactive effect like rubberbanding in the overlay, it is a good idea to struc-ture structure
       ture your rendering to minimize flicker (most overlays are single-buffered).  Only clear the  overlay
       if  you know that the window has been damaged.  Otherwise, try to simply erase what you last drew and
       redraw it in an updated position.  Here is an example overlay  display  callback  used  to  implement
       overlay rubberbanding:

         void
         redrawOverlay(void)
         {
           static int prevStretchX, prevStretchY;

           if (glutLayerGet(GLUT_OVERLAY_DAMAGED)) {
             /* Damage means we needwindoay callback 4at theeeeeeeeeeeeeeey displayOverlayRedisplay - marks the
