NAME

4     glutMainLoop — The standard GLUT event loop entry point.
5

LIBRARY

7     OpenGLUT - mainloop
8

SYNOPSIS

10     #include <openglut.h>
11
12     void
13     glutMainLoop(void);
14

DESCRIPTION

16     This is the main driving force for an event-driven OpenGLUT program.  It
17     alternates between calling glutMainLoopEvent() to process pending events
18     and then either sleeping or calling your idle function (see glutIdle‐
19     Func()).
20
21     This function  can   return, but GLUT's version of this function never
22     returned.  And you must do special things to OpenGLUT to cause OpenGLUT's
23     version to return.
24
25     The cross-reference section for this function's documentation should ide‐
26     ally contain every callback, but the list would be tediously long and
27     prone to omissions.
28

CAVEATS

30     For OpenGLUT developers' internal documentation: Runs until the  Exec‐
31     State  changes to  GLUT_EXEC_STATE_STOP.
32

BUGS

34     Talking to other message systems (e.g., network layers) can be a bit
35     bothersome under the GLUT event model.
