>Using OpenGL With SDL</H1
><P
>SDL has the ability to create and use OpenGL contexts on several platforms(Linux/X11, Win32, BeOS, MacOS Classic/Toolbox, Mac OS X, FreeBSD/X11 and Solaris/X11). This allows you to use SDL's audio, event handling, threads and times in your OpenGL applications (a function often performed by GLUT).</P

>Apart from initialisation, using OpenGL within SDL is the same as using OpenGL
with any other API, e.g. GLUT. You still use all the same function calls and
data types. However if you are using a double-buffered display, then you must
use
