gl_getcontext(3)	      Svgalib User Manual	      gl_getcontext(3)

NAME
       gl_getcontext, currentcontext - get the current graphics contents.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <vgagl.h>

       void gl_getcontext(GraphicsContext *gc);

       extern GraphicsContext currentcontext; /* this is already in vgagl.h */

DESCRIPTION
       Save the current context in the structure variable gc.

       You  can also get the current context from the global variable current‐
       context;

       However, simply access single  elements	in  this  structure  with  the
       macros  given  in  vgagl(7)  but	 do not copy currentcontext in another
       structure. This is because the size of the structure might  change  and
       your  program  does  not	 know it when it will be linked dynamically to
       future svgalib versions.

       Instead use gl_allocatecontext(3) to allocate such a structure, fill it
       with gl_getcontext and release it with free(3) after usage.
