NAME

       glutKeyboardFunc - sets the keyboard callback for the current window.

SYNTAX

       void glutKeyboardFunc(void (*func)(unsigned char key,
			     int x, int y));

ARGUMENTS

       func	 The new keyboard callback function.

DESCRIPTION

       glutKeyboardFunc  sets the keyboard callback for the current window.  When a user types into the window, each key press generating an ASCII
       character will generate a keyboard callback. The key callback parameter is the generated ASCII character. The state of modifier	keys  such
       as  Shift cannot be determined directly; their only effect will be on the returned ASCII data. The x and y callback parameters indicate the
       mouse location in window relative coordinates when the key was pressed. When a new window is created, no  keyboard  callback  is  initially
       registered,  and  ASCII	key  strokes in the window are ignored. Passing NULL to glutKeyboardFunc disables the generation of keyboard call-
       backs.

       During a keyboard callback, glutGetModifiers may be called to determine the state of modifier keys when the keystroke generating the  call-
       back occurred.

       Use glutSpecialFunc for a means to detect non-ASCII key strokes.
