Function Documentation

Display* eq::glx::XGetCurrentDisplay ( )
Returns
the current display connection for the calling thread.
void eq::glx::XSetCurrentDisplay ( Display *  display)

Set the current X display connection.

This function stores a per-thread display connection, similar to the current WGL/AGL context. It is used by some classes to retrieve the display without having to know the glx::Pipe, which sets it automatically. Applications using the GLX window system with a custom SystemPipe implementation have to set it using this function.

Parameters
displaythe current display connection to use.
