DESCRIPTION

19     glutInitDisplayString() permits you to define a display mode for subse‐
20     quent windows that you open.  In most regards, control is at least as
21     fine as with glutInitDisplaymode().
22
23     The  displayMode  parameter is case-sensitive, and tokens are separated
24     by ASCII TABs (\t) and SPACEs.
25
26      -  index
27     Enables  GLUT_INDEX.
28
29      -  luminance
30     Enables  GLUT_LUMINANCE.   Enables  GLUT_STENCIL.
31
32      -  red
33     Number of red channel bits.
34
35      -  green
36     Number of green channel bits.
37
38      -  blue
39     Number of blue channel bits.
40
41      -  alpha
42     Number of alpha channel bits.  Enables  GLUT_ALPHA.
43
44      -  rgb
45     Number of  RGB  channel bits, no aplha bits.  Enables  GLUT_RGB.
46
47      -  rgba
48     Number of  RGBA  channel bits.  Enables  GLUT_RGBA.
49
50      -  depth
51     Number of depth buffer bits.
52
53      -  stencil
54     Number of stencil buffer bits.
55
56      -  double
57     Enables  GLUT_DOUBLE.
58
59      -  single
60     Enables  GLUT_SINGLE.
61
62      -  stereo
63     Enables  GLUT_STERO.
64
65      -  acca
66     Number of  RGBA  accumulation bits.  Enables  GLUT_ACCUM.
67
68      -  acc
69     Number of  RGB  accumulation bits.  Enables  GLUT_ACCUM.
70
71      -  samples
72     Number of samples for GLX's  SGIS_Multisample.   Enables  GLUT_MULTISAM‐
73     PLE.
74
75      -  buffer
76     [TODO] Sets bits in index mode?
77
78      -  conformant
79     [TODO] Conformant with what?  Enables  GLUT_DEPTH.
80
81      -  slow
82     [TODO] Indicates if a frame-buffer is slow.
83
84      -  num
85     [TODO] Appears to select a frame-buffer configuration by number from an
86     unspecified list.  Probably very non-portable.

CAVEATS

119     Conflicting modes, such as  single  and  double  have the same interac‐
120     tion as for glutInitDisplayMode().
121

TODO

123      GLUT_BORDERLESS  and  GLUT_OFFSCREEN  are not represented.
124
125     Not all features appear to be implemented.  In particular, numeric param‐
126     eters and comparator specifications are lacking. See GLUT 3.7 sources for
127     example.
