Window objects</h1>
<p >The <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga3c96d80d363e67d13a41b5d1821f3242">GLFWwindow</a> object encapsulates both a window and a context. They are created with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga3555a418df92ad53f917597fe2f64aeb">glfwCreateWindow</a> and destroyed with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#gacdf43e51376051d2c091662e9fe3d7b2">glfwDestroyWindow</a>, or <a class="el" href="group__init.html#gaaae48c0a18607ea4a4ba951d939f0901">glfwTerminate</a>, if any remain. As the window and context are inseparably linked, the object pointer is used as both a context and window handle.</p>
<p >To see the event stream provided to the various window related callbacks, run the <code>events</code> test program.</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="window_creation"></a>
Window creation</h2>
<p >A window and its OpenGL or OpenGL ES context are created with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga3555a418df92ad53f917597fe2f64aeb">glfwCreateWindow</a>, which returns a handle to the created window object. For example, this creates a 640 by 480 windowed mode window:</p>

<p >The window handle is passed to all window related functions and is provided to along with all input events, so event handlers can tell which window received the event.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="window_full_screen"></a>
Full screen windows</h3>
<p >To create a full screen window, you need to specify which monitor the window should use. In most cases, the user's primary monitor is a good choice. For more information about retrieving monitors, see <a class="el" href="monitor_guide.html#monitor_monitors">Retrieving monitors</a>.</p>

<p >Windowed mode windows can be made full screen by setting a monitor with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga81c76c418af80a1cce7055bccb0ae0a7">glfwSetWindowMonitor</a>, and full screen ones can be made windowed by unsetting it with the same function.</p>
<p >Each field of the <a class="el" href="structGLFWvidmode.html">GLFWvidmode</a> structure corresponds to a function parameter or window hint and combine to form the <em>desired video mode</em> for that window. The supported video mode most closely matching the desired video mode will be set for the chosen monitor as long as the window has input focus. For more information about retrieving video modes, see <a class="el" href="monitor_guide.html#monitor_modes">Video modes</a>.</p>

<p >Once you have a full screen window, you can change its resolution, refresh rate and monitor with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga81c76c418af80a1cce7055bccb0ae0a7">glfwSetWindowMonitor</a>. If you only need change its resolution you can also call <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga371911f12c74c504dd8d47d832d095cb">glfwSetWindowSize</a>. In all cases, the new video mode will be selected the same way as the video mode chosen by <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga3555a418df92ad53f917597fe2f64aeb">glfwCreateWindow</a>. If the window has an OpenGL or OpenGL ES context, it will be unaffected.</p>
<p >By default, the original video mode of the monitor will be restored and the window iconified if it loses input focus, to allow the user to switch back to the desktop. This behavior can be disabled with the <a class="el" href="window_guide.html#GLFW_AUTO_ICONIFY_hint">GLFW_AUTO_ICONIFY</a> window hint, for example if you wish to simultaneously cover multiple monitors with full screen windows.</p>
<p >If a monitor is disconnected, all windows that are full screen on that monitor will be switched to windowed mode. See <a class="el" href="monitor_guide.html#monitor_event">Monitor configuration changes</a> for more information.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="window_windowed_full_screen"></a>
"Windowed full screen" windows</h3>
<p >If the closest match for the desired video mode is the current one, the video mode will not be changed, making window creation faster and application switching much smoother. This is sometimes called <em>windowed full screen</em> or <em>borderless full screen</em> window and counts as a full screen window. To create such a window, request the current video mode.</p>

Window creation hints</h2>
<p >There are a number of hints that can be set before the creation of a window and context. Some affect the window itself, others affect the framebuffer or context. These hints are set to their default values each time the library is initialized with <a class="el" href="group__init.html#ga317aac130a235ab08c6db0834907d85e">glfwInit</a>. Integer value hints can be set individually with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga7d9c8c62384b1e2821c4dc48952d2033">glfwWindowHint</a> and string value hints with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga8cb2782861c9d997bcf2dea97f363e5f">glfwWindowHintString</a>.

User pointer</h2>
<p >Each window has a user pointer that can be set with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga3d2fc6026e690ab31a13f78bc9fd3651">glfwSetWindowUserPointer</a> and queried with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#gae77a4add0d2023ca21ff1443ced01653">glfwGetWindowUserPointer</a>.

Window closing and close flag</h2>
<p >When the user attempts to close the window, for example by clicking the close widget or using a key chord like Alt+F4, the <em>close flag</em> of the window is set. The window is however not actually destroyed and, unless you watch for this state change, nothing further happens.</p>
<p >The current state of the close flag is returned by <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga24e02fbfefbb81fc45320989f8140ab5">glfwWindowShouldClose</a> and can be set or cleared directly with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga49c449dde2a6f87d996f4daaa09d6708">glfwSetWindowShouldClose</a>.

<p ><a class="anchor" id="GLFW_CLIENT_API_attrib"></a><b>GLFW_CLIENT_API</b> indicates the client API provided by the window's context; either <code>GLFW_OPENGL_API</code>, <code>GLFW_OPENGL_ES_API</code> or <code>GLFW_NO_API</code>.</p>
<p ><a class="anchor" id="GLFW_CONTEXT_CREATION_API_attrib"></a><b>GLFW_CONTEXT_CREATION_API</b> indicates the context creation API used to create the window's context; either <code>GLFW_NATIVE_CONTEXT_API</code>, <code>GLFW_EGL_CONTEXT_API</code> or <code>GLFW_OSMESA_CONTEXT_API</code>.</p>

<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd>Do not confuse these attributes with <code>GLFW_VERSION_MAJOR</code>, <code>GLFW_VERSION_MINOR</code> and <code>GLFW_VERSION_REVISION</code> which provide the API version of the GLFW header.</dd></dl>
<p><a class="anchor" id="GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT_attrib"></a><b>GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT</b> is <code>GLFW_TRUE</code> if the window's context is an OpenGL forward-compatible one, or <code>GLFW_FALSE</code> otherwise.</p>
<p ><a class="anchor" id="GLFW_OPENGL_DEBUG_CONTEXT_attrib"></a><b>GLFW_OPENGL_DEBUG_CONTEXT</b> is <code>GLFW_TRUE</code> if the window's context is in debug mode, or <code>GLFW_FALSE</code> otherwise.</p>
<p ><a class="anchor" id="GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE_attrib"></a><b>GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE</b> indicates the OpenGL profile used by the context. This is <code>GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE</code> or <code>GLFW_OPENGL_COMPAT_PROFILE</code> if the context uses a known profile, or <code>GLFW_OPENGL_ANY_PROFILE</code> if the OpenGL profile is unknown or the context is an OpenGL ES context. Note that the returned profile may not match the profile bits of the context flags, as GLFW will try other means of detecting the profile when no bits are set.</p>
<p ><a class="anchor" id="GLFW_CONTEXT_RELEASE_BEHAVIOR_attrib"></a><b>GLFW_CONTEXT_RELEASE_BEHAVIOR</b> indicates the release used by the context. Possible values are one of <code>GLFW_ANY_RELEASE_BEHAVIOR</code>, <code>GLFW_RELEASE_BEHAVIOR_FLUSH</code> or <code>GLFW_RELEASE_BEHAVIOR_NONE</code>. If the behavior is <code>GLFW_ANY_RELEASE_BEHAVIOR</code>, the default behavior of the context creation API will be used. If the behavior is <code>GLFW_RELEASE_BEHAVIOR_FLUSH</code>, the pipeline will be flushed whenever the context is released from being the current one. If the behavior is <code>GLFW_RELEASE_BEHAVIOR_NONE</code>, the pipeline will not be flushed on release.</p>
<p ><a class="anchor" id="GLFW_CONTEXT_NO_ERROR_attrib"></a><b>GLFW_CONTEXT_NO_ERROR</b> indicates whether errors are generated by the context. Possible values are <code>GLFW_TRUE</code> and <code>GLFW_FALSE</code>. If enabled, situations that would have generated errors instead cause undefined behavior.</p>
<p ><a class="anchor" id="GLFW_CONTEXT_ROBUSTNESS_attrib"></a><b>GLFW_CONTEXT_ROBUSTNESS</b> indicates the robustness strategy used by the context. This is <code>GLFW_LOSE_CONTEXT_ON_RESET</code> or <code>GLFW_NO_RESET_NOTIFICATION</code> if the window's context supports robustness, or <code>GLFW_NO_ROBUSTNESS</code> otherwise.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="window_attribs_fb"></a>
Framebuffer related attributes</h3>
<p >GLFW does not expose attributes of the default framebuffer (i.e. the framebuffer attached to the window) as these can be queried directly with either OpenGL, OpenGL ES or Vulkan.</p>
<p >If you are using version 3.0 or later of OpenGL or OpenGL ES, the <code>glGetFramebufferAttachmentParameteriv</code> function can be used to retrieve the number of bits for the red, green, blue, alpha, depth and stencil buffer channels. Otherwise, the <code>glGetIntegerv</code> function can be used.</p>
<p >The number of MSAA samples are always retrieved with <code>glGetIntegerv</code>. For contexts supporting framebuffer objects, the number of samples of the currently bound framebuffer is returned.</p>

<p >When calling <code>glGetFramebufferAttachmentParameteriv</code>, the red, green, blue and alpha sizes are queried from the <code>GL_BACK_LEFT</code>, while the depth and stencil sizes are queried from the <code>GL_DEPTH</code> and <code>GL_STENCIL</code> attachments, respectively.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="buffer_swap"></a>
Buffer swapping</h1>
<p >GLFW windows are by default double buffered. That means that you have two rendering buffers; a front buffer and a back buffer. The front buffer is the one being displayed and the back buffer the one you render to.</p>
<p >When the entire frame has been rendered, it is time to swap the back and the front buffers in order to display what has been rendered and begin rendering a new frame. This is done with <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga15a5a1ee5b3c2ca6b15ca209a12efd14">glfwSwapBuffers</a>.</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code hl_function" href="group__window.html#ga15a5a1ee5b3c2ca6b15ca209a12efd14">glfwSwapBuffers</a>(window);</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p >Sometimes it can be useful to select when the buffer swap will occur. With the function <a class="el" href="group__context.html#ga6d4e0cdf151b5e579bd67f13202994ed">glfwSwapInterval</a> it is possible to select the minimum number of monitor refreshes the driver should wait from the time <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga15a5a1ee5b3c2ca6b15ca209a12efd14">glfwSwapBuffers</a> was called before swapping the buffers:</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code hl_function" href="group__context.html#ga6d4e0cdf151b5e579bd67f13202994ed">glfwSwapInterval</a>(1);</div>
<div class="ttc" id="agroup__context_html_ga6d4e0cdf151b5e579bd67f13202994ed"><div class="ttname"><a href="group__context.html#ga6d4e0cdf151b5e579bd67f13202994ed">glfwSwapInterval</a></div><div class="ttdeci">void glfwSwapInterval(int interval)</div><div class="ttdoc">Sets the swap interval for the current context.</div></div>
</div><!-- fragment --><p >If the interval is zero, the swap will take place immediately when <a class="el" href="group__window.html#ga15a5a1ee5b3c2ca6b15ca209a12efd14">glfwSwapBuffers</a> is called without waiting for a refresh. Otherwise at least interval retraces will pass between each buffer swap. Using a swap interval of zero can be useful for benchmarking purposes, when it is not desirable to measure the time it takes to wait for the vertical retrace. However, a swap interval of one lets you avoid tearing.</p>
<p >Note that this may not work on all machines, as some drivers have user-controlled settings that override any swap interval the application requests.</p>
<p >A context that supports either the <code>WGL_EXT_swap_control_tear</code> or the <code>GLX_EXT_swap_control_tear</code> extension also accepts <em>negative</em> swap intervals, which allows the driver to swap immediately even if a frame arrives a little bit late. This trades the risk of visible tears for greater framerate stability. You can check for these extensions with <a class="el" href="group__context.html#ga87425065c011cef1ebd6aac75e059dfa">glfwExtensionSupported</a>. </p>
