Description
glutWarpPointer
warps the window system's pointer to a new location relative
to the origin of the current window. The new location will be offset
x
pixels on the X axis and
y
pixels on the Y axis. These parameters may be negative. The warp is done immediately.
If the pointer would be warped outside the screen's frame buffer region, the location will be clamped to the nearest
screen edge. The window system is allowed to further constrain the pointer's location in window system dependent ways.
The following is good advice that applies to
glutWarpPointer
: "There is seldom
any reason for calling this function. The pointer should normally be left to the user." (from Xlib's XWarpPointer man
page.)
