glutFullScreen  - requests that the current window be made
       full screen.


SYNTAX

       void glutFullScreen(void);


DESCRIPTION

       glutFullScreen requests that the current  window  be  made
       full  screen.   The  exact  semantics  of what full screen
       means may vary by window system. The intent is to make the
       window as large as possible and disable any window decora-
       tions or borders added the window system. The window width
       and height are not guaranteed to be the same as the screen
       width and height, but that is the intent of making a  win-
       dow full screen.

       glutFullScreen  is  defined to work only on top-level win-
       dows.

       The glutFullScreen requests are not processed immediately.
       The  request is executed after returning to the main event
       loop. This allows  multiple  glutReshapeWindow,  glutPosi-
       tionWindow, and glutFullScreen requests to the same window
       to be coalesced.

       Subsequent   glutReshapeWindow   and    glutPositionWindow
       requests on the window will disable the full screen status
       of the window.


X IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

       In the X implementation of GLUT,  full  screen  is  imple-
       mented  by  sizing and positioning the window to cover the
       entire screen and posting the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property  on
       the window requesting absolutely no decorations. Non-Motif
       window managers may not respond to _MOTIF_WM_HINTS.
