NAME

       glutCreateWindow - creates a top-level window.

SYNTAX

       int glutCreateWindow(char *name);

ARGUMENTS

       name	 ASCII character string for use as window name.

DESCRIPTION

       glutCreateWindow  creates  a  top-level window. The name will be provided to the window system as the window's name. The intent is that the
       window system will label the window with the name.

       Implicitly, the current window is set to the newly created window.

       Each created window has a unique associated OpenGL context. State changes to a window's associated OpenGL context can be  done  immediately
       after the window is created.

       The  display  state  of	a window is initially for the window to be shown.  But the window's display state is not actually acted upon until
       glutMainLoop is entered. This means until glutMainLoop is called, rendering to a created window is ineffective because the window  can  not
       yet be displayed.

       The  value  returned  is  a  unique small integer identifier for the window.  The range of allocated identifiers starts at one. This window
       identifier can be used when calling glutSetWindow.

X IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

       The proper X Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual (ICCCM) top-level properties are established. The WM_COMMAND property that lists
       the command line used to invoke the GLUT program is only established for the first window created.
