glutPositionWindow(3GLUT)                           GLUT                           glutPositionWindow(3GLUT)



NAME
       glutPositionWindow - requests a change to the position of the current window.

SYNTAX
       void glutPositionWindow(int x, int y);

ARGUMENTS
       x         New X location of window in pixels.

       y         New Y location of window in pixels.

DESCRIPTION
       glutPositionWindow  requests  a  change in the position of the current window. For top-level windows,
       the x and y parameters are pixel offsets from the screen origin. For subwindows, the x and y  parame-ters parameters
       ters are pixel offsets from the window's parent window origin.

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

       In  the  case  of top-level windows, a glutPositionWindow call is considered only a request for posi-tioning positioning
       tioning the window. The window system is free to apply its own policies to  top-level  window  place-ment. placement.
       ment.   The  intent  is  that top-level windows should be repositioned according glutPositionWindow's
       parameters.

       glutPositionWindow disables the full screen status of a window if previously enabled.
