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.
