.SH NAME
gl_allocatecontext \- allocate a graphics context
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <vgagl.h>
.BI "GraphicsContext *gl_allocatecontext(void);"
.SH 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.
