Larry,
What I am doing is "answering the mail" -- meeting a customer's
request. What the customer is doing I do not know ... but if the
customer wants a pink polka-dotted outhouse, the customer should get a
pink polka-dotted outhouse ... unless it will interfere with other
customers.
I think in this case the customer wants "freeglut" to handle the
looping control but wants to be able to break in occasionally and fiddle
with things.
Incidentally, I don't find "glutShutdown" in my copy of the code
here. Possibly my copy is old, or possibly the change never made it
into SVN. I'll check it when I get home tonight.

John,
Why call glutMainLoop then?
In my app I do:
if( m_glut )
{
glutSetWindow( m_win );
glutPostRedisplay();
glutMainLoopEvent();
}
If you want to do many loops, do it this way, if you want to let glut
run things, call glutMainLoop.
Maybe I am dense but what exactly are we gaining here with this change?

Larry,
I think this is a different request. At the moment the "glutMainLoop"
function automatically shuts down on exit; the request is that it not do
so, so the application can call "glutMainLoop" multiple times, carrying
the same initialization from one instance to the next.

glutShutdown();
I posted some code a while back for this function. I thought it was
agreed upon and adopted.
Am I missing something or isn't this exactly what you are asking for?
I succesfully stop and restart my graphics context using this function.
(It destroys the GL context and I have to recreate it with another
glutInit)

removefgDeinitialize from glutMainLoop
Gentlemen,
In the "Feature Requests" list we have the following:
I love freeglut's feature of offering glutMainLoopEvent
and a proper exit from the glutMainLoop. However, in
many cases I'd like the glutMainLoop NOT to
deinitialize the glut engine - just as
glutMainLoopEvent does not deinitialize the glut
engine. For my porposes, proper pseudo code is:
(1) initialize glut
(2) set the GLUT_ACTION_CONTINUE_OPTION
(3) create a window
(4) call glutMainLoop, which exits properly when
hitting ENTER
(5) do other computations in the main file
(6) call again glutMainLoop - activating interaction
with the same previously created window - exiting on ENTER
(7) finally call glutDeinitialize in the main() function
(8) exit
This is much more consistent: When you initialize glut
in the main() function, then one should also control
the deinitialization in the main() function.
Only change required:
remove the fgDeinitialize from the glutMainLoop
What do people think?
