gl_allocatecontext(3)

NAME
gl_allocatecontext - allocate a graphics context

SYNOPSIS
#include <vgagl.h> GraphicsContext *gl_allocatecontext(void);

DESCRIPTION
Allocate a graphics context. This is preferred to hardcoding a context variable in a program since the latter is incompatible with a future vgagl version that have additional context fields.
