RE: [Freeglut-developer] problem with program

[Fay J. F Dr C. U. AFSEO/SK <joh...@eg...>]

Jeremy,

	OK, here's the scoop.  GLUT menus are system-specific and are not
based on the underlying GLUT windowing system.  If you look at different
GLUT configurations you will find that GLUT menus on Windows look one way
and GLUT menus on Linux look thoroughly different.

	With "freeglut", on the other hand, the menu resides in its own
"freeglut" window that partially covers the window from which the menu was
invoked.  When the menu window goes away, the underlying window is now
exposed where it was not and so a display callback is triggered.
Unfortunately I can't think of any way around it.  In order to make the
colored string persist in the "freeglut" window you will need to call
"drawString" from your display callback.

	If you can think of a way to implement this the way GLUT did, please
let me know.  I'm always open to ideas.

Actually, in doing some more testing, it doesn't appear to be a linux
specific problem.  I tried the aforementioned program on a Sun system in
conjunction with freeglut and saw the same problem as on the linux system
(see my previous message).  I suspect that we're just going about things the
wrong way in the program we wrote (and it just happened to work previously).
Any help you (or anyone) can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeremy
