- CHANGES for GLUT API version 2
- -------------------------------
-
- GLUT API version 2 should be fully compatible with the GLUT API
- version 1.
-
- Here are the GLUT API version 2 additions in more detail:
-
- GLUT_MULTISAMPLE - a display mode bit mask for requesting
- multi-sampling (hw anti-aliasing) available for Reality Engine
- class graphics hardware (IRIX 5.3 has multi-sampling GLX
- extension).
-
- GLUT_STEREO - a display mode bit mask for requesting
- a stereo (quad buffering) OpenGL visual.
-
- glutGet(GLUT_WINDOW_NUM_SAMPLES) - returns number of
- samples for multisampling for the window.
-
- glutGet(GLUT_WINDOW_STEREO) - boolean for it window supports
- stereo.
-
- glutGet(GLUT_ELAPSED_TIME) - an OS-portable way to
- get the elapsed time in milliseconds since glutInit
-
- glutDeviceGet(GLUT_HAS_KEYBOARD) - if keyboard supported.
-
- glutDeviceGet(GLUT_HAS_MOUSE) - if mouse supported.
-
- glutDeviceGet(GLUT_HAS_SPACEBALL) - if spaceball supported.
-
- glutDeviceGet(GLUT_HAS_DIAL_AND_BUTTON_BOX) - if dial and
- button box supported.
-
- glutDeviceGet(GLUT_HAS_TABLET) - if tablet supported.
-
- glutDeviceGet(GLUT_NUM_MOUSE_BUTTONS) - number of mouse
- buttons supported.
-
- glutDeviceGet(GLUT_NUM_SPACEBALL_BUTTONS) - number of
- spaceball buttons supported.
-
- glutDeviceGet(GLUT_NUM_BUTTON_BOX_BUTTONS) - number of
- button box buttons supported.
-
- glutDeviceGet(GLUT_NUM_DIALS) - number of dials supported.
-
- glutDeviceGet(GLUT_NUM_TABLET_BUTTONS) - number of table
- buttons supported.
-
- glutSpecialFunc - register callback for keyboard function
- and directional keys.
-
- glutSpaceballMotionFunc - register callback for spaceball
- motion.
-
- glutSpaceballRotateFunc - register callback for spaceball
- rotations.
-
- glutSpaceballButtonFunc - register callback for spaceball
- button events.
-
- glutButtonBoxFunc - register callback for button box button
- events.
-
- glutDialsFunc - register callback for dial motion.
-
- glutTabletMotionFunc - register callback for tablet motion.
-
- glutTabletButtonFunc - register callback for tablet button
- events.
-
- glutExtensionSupported - report if a given OpenGL extension
- is supported.
-
- Also there are a handful of minor bug fixes (of course).
-
- The stereo and multisampling stuff is probably (for now) interesting
- mainly to Reality Engine graphics users. The new device support uses
- the X Input extension. It works with SGI versions of the devices. I'm
- investigating how portable the current code is for other vendor's
- advertising of their similar X Input devices.
