glXWaitX(3G)		    OpenGL Reference - GLX		  glXWaitX(3G)



NAME
     glXWaitX -	complete X execution prior to subsequent OpenGL	calls


C SPECIFICATION
     void glXWaitX( void )



DESCRIPTION
     X rendering calls made prior to glXWaitX are guaranteed to	be executed
     before OpenGL rendering calls made	after glXWaitX.	 Although this same
     result can	be achieved using XSync, glXWaitX does not require a round
     trip to the server, and it	is therefore more efficient in cases where
     client and	server are on separate machines.

     glXWaitX is ignored if there is no	current	GLX context.


NOTES
     glXWaitX may or may not flush the OpenGL stream.


ERRORS
     GLXBadCurrentWindow is generated if the drawable associated with the
     current context of	the calling thread is a	window,	and that window	is no
     longer valid.
