NAME¶
glutHideWindow —
    Make the current window hidden
LIBRARY¶
OpenGLUT - window
SYNOPSIS¶
#include
    <openglut.h>
void
  
  glutHideWindow(void);
DESCRIPTION¶
Even if a window is ``open'', it need not be visible. It may be convenient to hide a window rather than to close it, if you want to re-display the window at the same location and size, later. Redefining all of the OpenGLUT features of a window and adding its
window id
to your tracking when re-opening a window may also be bothersome. So, rather than destroying it, you can simply ask for it to be hidden.
