LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS

10     #include <openglut.h>
11
12     void
13     glutIconifyWindow(void);

DESCRIPTION

16     Most window systems have some kind of ``minimized'' or ``iconified''
17     state for windows.  All systems currently supported by OpenGLUT do so.
18     The exact meaning of iconification is somewhat system-dependant, but this
19     makes a request of the window system to place the window into this state.
20
21     Graphic output is usually suspended in this form.  User input may be par‐
22     tially or wholly suspended.
23
24     If and when your window is iconified by the window system, it may be uni‐
25     conified at any time by the system.  This usually happens at the request
26     of a user.  Because of this, you should not use this function to hide a
27     window.  Rather, it is to help unclutter the user's display, and is more
28     or less consensual with the user.  Use glutHideWindow() if you want to
29     hide the window entirely.

CAVEATS

32     Applies only to onscreen, top-level windows.
33
34     Not guaranteed to have any effect; effect may be arbitrarily delayed.
35
36     There is no callback that specifically tells you when (or if) your window
37     is iconified.
