.TH gl_setcontextvga 3 "21 Aug 1999" "Svgalib (>= 1.2.11)" "Svgalib User Manual" .SH NAME gl_setcontextvga \- set the context to the physical screen .SH SYNOPSIS .B #include .BI "int gl_setcontextvga(int " mode ); .SH DESCRIPTION Set the graphics context to the physical screen of a vga mode (as defined in .BR vga_setmode (3)). The mode must be set with .BR vga_setmode (3) prior to using any of the drawing functions. .B vgagl does not take care of that. The function returns 0 for success and non-zero if the mode is not supported by the hardware. The only thing you can do with a planar (mode X-like) 256 color mode is aligned .BR gl_putbox , and use it as a target for .BR gl_copyscreen . In all of the svga modes this program makes a description of the vga mode available to the vgagl functions. The 256 color svgamodes are handled properly by this program. .SH SEE ALSO .BR svgalib (7), .BR vgagl (7), .BR svgalib.conf (5), .BR threedkit (7), .BR testgl (1), .BR currentcontext (3), .BR gl_allocatecontext (3), .BR gl_copyboxfromcontext (3), .BR gl_copyboxtocontext (3), .BR gl_copyscreen (3), .BR gl_freecontext (3), .BR gl_line (3), .BR gl_getcontext (3), .BR gl_setcontext (3), .BR gl_setcontextheight (3), .BR gl_setcontextvgavirtual (3), .BR gl_setcontextvirtual (3), .BR gl_setcontextwidth (3). .SH AUTHOR This manual page was edited by Michael Weller .
