gdk_gl_context_new ()

GdkGLContext* gdk_gl_context_new            (GdkGLDrawable *gldrawable,
                                             GdkGLContext *share_list,
                                             gboolean direct,
                                             int render_type);

Creates a new OpenGL rendering context.

`gldrawable` :	a GdkGLDrawable.
`share_list` :	the GdkGLContext with which to share display lists and texture objects. NULL indicates that no sharing is to take place.
`direct` :	whether rendering is to be done with a direct connection to the graphics system.
`render_type` :	GDK_GL_RGBA_TYPE or GDK_GL_COLOR_INDEX_TYPE (currently not used).
Returns :	the new GdkGLContext.

gdk_gl_context_destroy ()

void        gdk_gl_context_destroy          (GdkGLContext *glcontext);

Destroys the OpenGL resources associated with glcontext and decrements glcontext's reference count.

glcontext : a GdkGLContext.

gdk_gl_context_copy ()

gboolean    gdk_gl_context_copy             (GdkGLContext *glcontext,
                                             GdkGLContext *src,
                                             unsigned long  mask);

Copy state from src rendering context to glcontext.

mask contains the bitwise-OR of the same symbolic names that are passed to the glPushAttrib() function. You can use GL_ALL_ATTRIB_BITS to copy all the rendering state information.

`glcontext` :	a GdkGLContext.
`src` :	the source context.
`Param3` :
Returns :	FALSE if it fails, TRUE otherwise.

gdk_gl_context_get_gl_drawable ()

GdkGLDrawable* gdk_gl_context_get_gl_drawable
                                            (GdkGLContext *glcontext);

Gets GdkGLDrawable to which the glcontext is bound.

`glcontext` :	a GdkGLContext.
Returns :	the GdkGLDrawable or NULL if no GdkGLDrawable is bound.

gdk_gl_context_get_gl_config ()

GdkGLConfig* gdk_gl_context_get_gl_config   (GdkGLContext *glcontext);

Gets GdkGLConfig with which the glcontext is configured.

`glcontext` :	a GdkGLContext.
Returns :	the GdkGLConfig.

gdk_gl_context_get_share_list ()

GdkGLContext* gdk_gl_context_get_share_list (GdkGLContext *glcontext);

Gets GdkGLContext with which the glcontext shares the display lists and texture objects.

`glcontext` :	a GdkGLContext.
Returns :	the GdkGLContext.

gdk_gl_context_is_direct ()

gboolean    gdk_gl_context_is_direct        (GdkGLContext *glcontext);

Returns whether the glcontext is a direct rendering context.

`glcontext` :	a GdkGLContext.
Returns :	TRUE if the `glcontext` is a direct rendering contest.

gdk_gl_context_get_render_type ()

int         gdk_gl_context_get_render_type  (GdkGLContext *glcontext);

Gets render_type of the glcontext.

`glcontext` :	a GdkGLContext.
Returns :	GDK_GL_RGBA_TYPE or GDK_GL_COLOR_INDEX_TYPE.

gdk_gl_context_get_current ()

GdkGLContext* gdk_gl_context_get_current    (void);

Returns the current GdkGLContext.

Returns :

the current GdkGLContext or NULL if there is no current context.
