RE: [Plib-devel] Another New Demo Program for PW

[Fay J. F C. AAC/W. <joh...@eg...>]

To coin a phrase, I think you are being slightly X-centric <grin>.  I don't
see anything about multisampling in the MSVC documentation ... so I guess
Windows will simply continue to ignore that parameter.

We do have another parameter in "pwInit", though, the "num_samples", which I
hadn't noticed last Friday.  Suggestions?

Well, probably we just try 16 multisamples and work down towards zero until
X says we have a valid rendering context.  On nVidia hardware, there is an
additional GL_NICEST hint that selects between what was once called
'quincunx'
mode and the simpler, basic mode.
