@subsection context_glext_auto Using an extension loader library
This is the easiest and best way to load extensions and newer versions of the
OpenGL or OpenGL ES API. One such library is
[glad](https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad) and there are several others. They will
take care of all the details of declaring and loading everything you need.
The following example will use glad, but other extension loader libraries work
similary.
First you need to generate the source files using the glad Python script. This
example generates a loader for any version of OpenGL, which is the default for
both GLFW and glad, but loaders for OpenGL ES, as well as loaders for specific
API versions and extension sets can be generated. The generated files are
written to the `output` directory.
@code{.sh}
python main.py --no-loader --out-path output
@endcode
@note The `--no-loader` option is used because GLFW already provides a function
for loading OpenGL and OpenGL ES function pointers and glad can use this instead
of having to add its own.
Add the generated `output/src/glad.c`, `output/include/glad/glad.h` and
`output/include/KHR/khrplatform.h` files to your build. Then you need to
include the glad header file, which will replace the OpenGL header of your
development environment.
@code
#include <glad/glad.h>
#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>
@endcode
Finally you need to initialize glad once you have a matching current context.
@code
window = glfwCreateWindow(640, 480, "My Window", NULL, NULL);
if (!window)
{
...
}
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
gladLoadGLLoader((GLADloadproc) glfwGetProcAddress);
@endcode
Once glad has been loaded, you have access to all OpenGL core and extension

/*!
@page intro Introduction to the GLFW API
@tableofcontents
This guide will introduce the basic concepts of GLFW and describes
initialization, error handling and version management. There are other guides
for the various areas of the GLFW API.
- @ref window
- @ref context
- @ref monitor
- @ref input
@section intro_init Initialization and termination
Before most GLFW functions may be called, the library must be initialized.
This initialization checks what features are available on the machine,
enumerates monitors and joysticks, initializes the timer and performs any
required platform-specific initialization.
Only the following functions may be called before the library has been
successfully initialized.
- @ref glfwGetVersion
- @ref glfwGetVersionString
- @ref glfwSetErrorCallback
- @ref glfwInit
- @ref glfwTerminate
Calling any other function before that time will cause a `GLFW_NOT_INITIALIZED`
error.
@subsection intro_init_init Initializing GLFW
The library is initialized with @ref glfwInit, which returns `GL_FALSE` if an
error occurred.
@code
if (!glfwInit())
{
// Handle initialization failure
}
@endcode
If any part of initialization fails, all remaining bits are terminated as if
@ref glfwTerminate was called. The library only needs to be initialized once
and additional calls to an already initialized library will simply return
`GL_TRUE` immediately.
Once the library has been successfully initialized, it should be terminated
before the application exits.
@subsection intro_init_terminate Terminating GLFW
Before your application exits, you should terminate the GLFW library if it has
been initialized. This is done with @ref glfwTerminate.
@code
glfwTerminate();
@endcode
This will destroy any remaining window, monitor and cursor objects, restore any
modified gamma ramps, re-enable the screensaver if it had been disabled and free
any resources allocated by GLFW.
Once the library is terminated, it is as if it had never been initialized and
you will need to initialize it again before being able to use GLFW. If the
library had not been successfully initialized or had already been terminated,
additional calls return immediately.
@section intro_error Error handling
Some GLFW functions have return values that indicate an error, but this is often
not very helpful when trying to figure out *why* the error occurred. Also, far
from all GLFW functions have such return values.
This is where the error callback comes in. This callback is called whenever an
error occurs. It is set with @ref glfwSetErrorCallback, a function that may be
called before @ref glfwInit and after @ref glfwTerminate.
@code
glfwSetErrorCallback(error_callback);
@endcode
The error callback receives a human-readable description of the error and (when
possible) its cause. The description is a regular C string using the UTF-8
encoding. The callback is also provided with an [error code](@ref errors).
@code
void error_callback(int error, const char* description)
{
puts(description);
}
@endcode
The error code indicates the general category of the error. Some error codes,
such as `GLFW_NOT_INITIALIZED` has only a single meaning, whereas others like
`GLFW_PLATFORM_ERROR` are used for many different errors.
@note The description string is only valid until the error callback returns, as
it may have been generated specifically for that error. This lets GLFW provide
much more specific error descriptions but means you must make a copy if you want
to keep the description string.
@section intro_version Version management
GLFW provides mechanisms for identifying what version of GLFW your application
was compiled against as well as what version it is currently using. The GLFW
API is binary-compatible with later minor versions, i.e. an executable using the
3.0 API will be able to use a version 3.2 DLL.
As long as an executable does not use any newer functions, it can also use an
older minor version DLL, although any window hints or other tokens added since
that older version will cause errors to be reported.
@subsection intro_version_compile Compile-time version
The compile-time version of GLFW is provided by the GLFW header with the
`GLFW_VERSION_MAJOR`, `GLFW_VERSION_MINOR` and `GLFW_VERSION_REVISION` macros.
@subsection intro_version_runtime Run-time version
The run-time version can be retrieved with @ref glfwGetVersion, a function that
may be called before @ref glfwInit and after @ref glfwTerminate
@code
int major, minor, revision;
glfwGetVersion(&major, &minor, &revision);
@endcode
@subsection intro_version_string Version string
GLFW 3 also provides a compile-time generated version string that describes the
version, platform, compiler and any platform-specific compile-time options.
This is primarily intended for submitting bug reports, to allow developers to
see which code paths are enabled in a binary.
The version string is returned by @ref glfwGetVersionString, a function that may
be called before @ref glfwInit and after @ref glfwTerminate.
The format of the string is as follows:
- The version of GLFW
- The name of the window system API
- The name of the context creation API
- Any additional options or APIs
For example, when compiling GLFW 3.0 with MinGW using the Win32 and WGL
back ends, the version string may look something like this:
3.0.0 Win32 WGL MinGW
@note Do not parse the version string to find the GLFW library version. The
@ref glfwGetVersion function provides the version of the library binary in
numeric form.

The Win32 port of GLFW 3 will not compile in @subsection moving_monitor Explicit monitor selection
[MBCS mode](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5z097dxa.aspx).
However, because the use of the Unicode version of the Win32 API doesn't affect
the process as a whole, but only those windows created using it, it's perfectly
possible to call MBCS functions from other parts of the same application.
Therefore, even if an application using GLFW has MBCS mode code, there's no need
for GLFW itself to support it.
GLFW 3 provides support for multiple monitors. To request a full screen mode window,
instead of passing `GLFW_FULLSCREEN` you specify which monitor you wish the
window to use. The @ref glfwGetPrimaryMonitor function returns the monitor that
GLFW 2 would have selected, but there are many other

maintain compatibility with these versions even if it was deemed worth the
effort.
The Win32 API has also not stood still, and GLFW 3 uses many functions only
present on Windows XP or later. Even supporting an OS as new as XP (new
from the perspective of GLFW 2, which still supports Windows 95) requires
runtime checking for a number of functions that are present only on modern
version of Windows.
@subsection moving_autopoll Removal of automatic event polling
@subsection moving_syskeys Capture of system-wide hotkeys GLFW 3 does not automatically poll for events on @ref glfwSwapBuffers, which
means you need to call @ref glfwPollEvents or @ref glfwWaitEvents yourself.

**glfwWaitEvents** process events for all windows at once.

`glViewport` needs to use pixels. Therefore, framebuffer size functions have
been added. You can retrieve the size of the framebuffer of a window with @ref

added, which can be set with @ref glfwSetFramebufferSizeCallback.

The `GLFW_OPENED` window parameter has been removed. As long as the window has
not been destroyed, whether through @ref glfwDestroyWindow or @ref
glfwTerminate, the window is "open".
A user attempting to close a window is now just an event like any other. Unlike
GLFW 2, windows and contexts created with GLFW 3 will never be destroyed unless
you choose them to be. Each window now has a close flag that is set to
`GL_TRUE` when the user attempts to close that window. By default, nothing else
happens and the window stays visible. It is then up to you to either destroy
the window, take some other action or simply ignore the request.
You can query the close flag at any time with @ref glfwWindowShouldClose and set
it at any time with @ref glfwSetWindowShouldClose.

Window positions and sizes now use screen coordinates, which may not be the same
as pixels on machines with high-DPI monitors. This is important as OpenGL uses
pixels, not screen coordinates. Most commonly, the rectangle specified with
`glViewport` needs to use pixels. Therefore, framebuffer size functions have
been added. You can retrieve the size of the framebuffer of a window with @ref
glfwGetFramebufferSize function. A framebuffer size callback has been added,
which can be set with @ref glfwSetFramebufferSizeCallback.

The Win32 port of GLFW 3 will not compile in
[MBCS mode](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5z097dxa.aspx).
However, because the use of the Unicode version of the Win32 API doesn't affect
the process as a whole, but only those windows created using it, it's perfectly
possible to call MBCS functions from other parts of the same application.
Therefore, even if an application using GLFW has MBCS mode code, there's no need
for GLFW itself to support it.
Video mode enumeration is now per-monitor. The @ref glfwGetVideoModes function
now returns all available modes for a specific monitor instead of requiring you
to guess how large an array you need. The `glfwGetDesktopMode` function, which
had poorly defined behavior, has been replaced by @ref glfwGetVideoMode, which
returns the current mode of a monitor.
@subsection moving_windows Support for versions of Windows older than XP
@subsection moving_cursor Cursor positioning All explicit support for version of Windows older than XP has been removed.

documentation for version older than Windows 2000, making it difficult to
maintain compatibility with these versions even if it was deemed worth the
effort.
The Win32 API has also not stood still, and GLFW 3 uses many functions only
present on Windows XP or later. Even supporting an OS as new as XP (new
from the perspective of GLFW 2, which still supports Windows 95) requires
runtime checking for a number of functions that are present only on modern
version of Windows.
