GLUT 3.1 "hack" for SGI's X stereo extension

HUB | Up | Download | Pheedbak | Tree | Topic | A-Z | Search | Hot | New

This directory contains a GLUT "hack" program for using SGI's proprietary X stereo extension (officially named "SGIFullScreenStereo"). The extension provides stereo support for mid-range and low-end SGI workstations including Indy and Indigo² workstations with Indy, XL, XZ, Extreme, and IMPACT graphics options.

NOTE: This example "hacks" GLUT to get at private GLUT implementation variables (basically __glutDisplay). Any program that does so is effectively unportable to other GLUT implementations. SGI's proprietary X stereo extension is not suitable for portable, direct support via GLUT's API, so these examples are being released as an exception to the rule.

To use this example code effectively, you must have:

To get more information on SGIFullScreenStereo, try: Mike Blackwell contributed the original GLUT stereo example. The example itself is based on a demonstration program found in Appendix 1 of The CrystalEyes Handbook by Lenny Lipton, 1991, StereoGraphics Corp.
