SDL_GL_SetAttribute

Use this function to set an OpenGL window attribute before window creation.

Syntax

int SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GLattr attr,
                        int        value)

Function Parameters

attr

the SDL_GLattr to set; see Remarks for details

value

the desired value for the attribute

Return Value

Returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.

Code Examples

*

SDL_GL_SetAttribute( SDL_GL_RED_SIZE, 5 );
SDL_GL_SetAttribute( SDL_GL_GREEN_SIZE, 5 );
SDL_GL_SetAttribute( SDL_GL_BLUE_SIZE, 5 );
SDL_GL_SetAttribute( SDL_GL_DEPTH_SIZE, 16 );
SDL_GL_SetAttribute( SDL_GL_DOUBLEBUFFER, 1 );
if ( (screen=SDL_SetVideoMode( 640, 480, 16, SDL_OPENGL )) == NULL ) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't set GL mode: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
    SDL_Quit();
    return;

Remarks

This function sets the OpenGL attribute attr to value. The requested attributes will take effect after creating an OpenGL context. You should use SDL_GL_GetAttribute() to check the values after creating the context, since the values obtained can differ from the requested ones.

attr can be one of these values:

SDL_GL_RED_SIZE

the minimum number of bits for the red channel of the color buffer; defaults to 3

SDL_GL_GREEN_SIZE

the minimum number of bits for the green channel of the color buffer; defaults to 3

SDL_GL_BLUE_SIZE

the minimum number of bits for the blue channel of the color buffer; defaults to 2

SDL_GL_ALPHA_SIZE

the minimum number of bits for the alpha channel of the color buffer; defaults to 0

SDL_GL_BUFFER_SIZE

the minimum number of bits for frame buffer size; defaults to 0

SDL_GL_DOUBLEBUFFER

whether the output is single or double buffered; defaults to double buffering on

SDL_GL_DEPTH_SIZE

the minimum number of bits in the depth buffer; defaults to 16

SDL_GL_STENCIL_SIZE

the minimum number of bits in the stencil buffer; defaults to 0

SDL_GL_ACCUM_RED_SIZE

the minimum number of bits for the red channel of the accumulation buffer; defaults to 0

SDL_GL_ACCUM_GREEN_SIZE

the minimum number of bits for the green channel of the accumulation buffer; defaults to 0

SDL_GL_ACCUM_BLUE_SIZE

the minimum number of bits for the blue channel of the accumulation buffer; defaults to 0

SDL_GL_ACCUM_ALPHA_SIZE

the minimum number of bits for the alpha channel of the accumulation buffer; defaults to 0

SDL_GL_STEREO

whether the output is stereo 3D; defaults to off

SDL_GL_MULTISAMPLEBUFFERS

the number of buffers used for multisample anti-aliasing; defaults to 0; see Remarks for details

SDL_GL_MULTISAMPLESAMPLES

the number of samples used around the current pixel used for multisample anti-aliasing; defaults to 0; see Remarks for details

SDL_GL_ACCELERATED_VISUAL

set to 1 to require hardware acceleration, set to 0 to force software rendering; defaults to allow either

SDL_GL_RETAINED_BACKING

not used (deprecated)

SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION

OpenGL context major version; see Remarks for details

SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION

OpenGL context minor version; see Remarks for details

SDL_GL_CONTEXT_FLAGS

some combination of 0 or more of elements of the SDL_GLcontextFlag enumeration; defaults to 0

SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK

type of GL context (Core, Compatibility, ES). See SDL_GLprofile; default value depends on platform

SDL_GL_SHARE_WITH_CURRENT_CONTEXT

OpenGL context sharing; defaults to 0

SDL_GL_FRAMEBUFFER_SRGB_CAPABLE

requests sRGB capable visual; defaults to 0 (>= SDL 2.0.1)

SDL_GL_CONTEXT_RELEASE_BEHAVIOR

sets context the release behavior; defaults to 1 (>= SDL 2.0.4)

SDL_GL_CONTEXT_EGL

not used (deprecated)
