The following table gives an overview on how the most commonly used GLUT functions map to Equalizer.
| GLUT | Equalizer |
|---|---|
| glutInit | eq::init, Client::initLocal, Client::connectServer, Server::chooseConfig |
| glutInitDisplayString, glutGameModeString, glutFullScreen, glutEnterGameMode, glutInitDisplayMode | Window attributes from config file |
| glutInitWindowSize | Window viewport from config file |
| glutCreateWindow | Config::init causes Window::configInit to be called for each window used by the current configuration |
| glutMainLoop, glutPostRedisplay, glutIdleFunc | Config::startFrame, Config::finishFrame (explicit, application-controlled main loop) |
| glutDisplayFunc | Channel::frameClear , Channel::frameDraw |
| glutReshapeFunc, glutKeyboardFunc, glutMouseFunc, glutVisibilityFunc, glutMotionFunc | Config::handleEvent , Window::processEvent |
| glutSwapBuffers | Window::swapBuffers (called automatically at the end of a frame) |
| glutCreateMenu and other menu functions, glutStrokeCharacter, glutBitmapCharacter, glut geometric primitives (cube, sphere, etc.) | not available, outside the scope of Equalizer |
