RE: [Plib-users] multiple windows

[Anthony C. <ac...@Ac...>]

Yes, I probably mean textures. Do you think it is a glut command? If you
find it let me know.
I have the source to PrettyPoly but it uses a few other libs, and it will
take a while to sort through it.

Thanks

Anthony

Do you really mean "colours" in the sense that OpenGL means it?  Perhaps
you really mean "textures"...in which case I have an answer for you.

You have to explicitly tell the windowing system that you want textures
to be shared between windows.

I forget how you do that right now (I don't often work with multiple
windows)...it's not a PLIB/SSG command - it's something in the windowing
system commands.

PrettyPoly opens multiple windows and renders the same model in each of
them.
