[Freeglut-developer] GLUT_OFFSCREEN

[Aleksandar D. <adonev@Math.Princeton.EDU>]

Hello,

Sorry to bother everyone again...I have been busy with work and barely 
following the discussion on freeglut. I just tried downloading the 
tarball to play with GLUT_OFFSCREEN rendering, and found in ChangeLog:

*********************************
* Ides of March, 2004.
*********************************
(184) Per demands of project owner, offscreen rendering is now removed
from freeglut.

Why? A pointer to which message to read (I get the digest now only) or a 
short summary of the rationale to eliminate potentially useful 
functionality from the library would help. If nothing else, what does 
the project owner recommend one do to get off-screen rendering (in 
cases where there is no screen to render to, such as remote execution)?

Wants to render offscreen,
Aleksandar
