glutFullScreen(3GLUT)                               GLUT                               glutFullScreen(3GLUT)



NAME
       glutFullScreen - requests that the current window be made full screen.

SYNTAX
       void glutFullScreen(void);

DESCRIPTION
       glutFullScreen  requests  that  the  current window be made full screen.  The exact semantics of what
       full screen means may vary by window system. The intent is to make the window as  large  as  possible
       and  disable  any  window decorations or borders added the window system. The window width and height
       are not guaranteed to be the same as the screen width and height, but that is the intent of making  a
       window full screen.

       glutFullScreen is defined to work only on top-level windows.

       The glutFullScreen requests are not processed immediately. The request is executed after returning to
       the main event loop. This allows multiple glutReshapeWindow, glutPositionWindow,  and  glutFullScreen
       requests to the same window to be coalesced.

       Subsequent  glutReshapeWindow  and  glutPositionWindow  requests  on the window will disable the full
       screen status of the window.

X IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
       In the X implementation of GLUT, full screen is implemented by sizing and positioning the  window  to
       cover  the entire screen and posting the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property on the window requesting absolutely
       no decorations. Non-Motif window managers may not respond to _MOTIF_WM_HINTS.
