A.3.1 Basic State

(1) Assigned dynamically from unassigned window numbers greater than zero.

(2) If initWindowX is greater or equal to zero and initWindowY is greater or equal to zero then initWindowX, else window location left to window system to decide.

(3) If initWindowY is greater or equal to zero and initWindowX is greater or equal to zero then initWindowY, else window location left to window system to decide.

(4) If initWindowWidth is greater than zero and initWindowHeight is greater than zero the initWindowWidth, else window size left to window system to decide.

(5) If initWindowHeight is greater than zero and initWindowWidth is greater than zero then initWindowHeight, else window size left to window system to decide.

(6) glutFullScreen sets to true; glutPositionWindow and glutReshapeWindow set to false.

(7) Subwindows can not be iconified.

(8) Window system events can also change the displayState.

(9) Visibility of a window can change for window system dependent reason, for example, a new window may occlude the window. glutPopWindow and glutPushWindow can affect window visibility as a side effect.

(10) The visibility callback set by glutVisibilityFunc allows the visibility state to be tracked.

(11) The redisplay state can be explicitly enabled by glutRedisplayFunc or implicitly in response to normal plane redisplay events from the window system.

(12) A window's displayCallback must be registered before the first display callback would be triggered (or the program is terminated).

(13) Instead of being a no-op as most NULL callbacks are, a NULL reshapeCallback sets the OpenGL viewport to render into the complete window, i.e., glViewport(0,0,width, height).

(14) Determined by currentWindow at glutCreateSubWindow time.
