Description
The initial display mode is used when creating top-level windows, subwindows, and overlays to determine the OpenGL
display mode for the to-be-created window or overlay.
Note that
GLUT_RGBA
selects the RGBA color model, but it does not request any bits of alpha
(sometimes called an alpha buffer or destination alpha) be allocated. To request alpha, specify
GLUT_ALPHA
. The same applies to
GLUT_LUMINANCE
.
Note that some bits "request" a capability and other bits "select" a capability. A requestable
capability may be assigned to the created window even if the bit for the capability was not set. For example, GLUT may
create a window with a depth buffer even though
GLUT_DEPTH
is not specified.
The
glutInitDisplayString
routine provides a more powerful way to select frame
buffer capabilities for GLUT windows.
GLUT_LUMINANCE Implementation Notes
GLUT_LUMINANCE
is not supported on most OpenGL platforms.
