glXIsDirect

NAME

glXIsDirect -- indicate whether direct rendering is enabled

C SPECIFICATION

Bool glXIsDirect(Display *dpy,
                 GLXContext ctx)

PARAMETERS

dpy
Specifies the connection to the X server.

ctx
Specifies the GLX context that is being queried.

DESCRIPTION

glXIsDirect returns True if ctx is a direct rendering context, False otherwise. Direct rendering contexts pass rendering commands directly from the calling process's address space to the rendering system, bypassing the X server. Nondirect rendering contexts pass all rendering commands to the X server.

ERRORS

GLX_BAD_CONTEXT is generated if ctx is not a valid GLX context.
