i''ve been told that you can open a gl window in 2 lines using glut. is this true? if so how? also do the gl drawing commands have to be in a certain function or can that be anywhere. eg on nehe''s site the drawing commands are in the function int DrawGLScene(GLvoid) do they have to be? hmmm interesting

void
display()
{
  // your code here

}


int
main( int argc, char** argv )
{
  glutInit( &argc, argv ); // initializes GLUT


  glutCreateWindow( "Title" ); // creates a window with the default parameters;


  glutDisplayFunc( display ); // registers the display function;


  glutMainLoop(); // gets the ball rolling


}

More is needed to have something useful, but this will create a window... without barfing.
