NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     gflush - flushs the remote	GL client buffer

C SPECIFICATION    [Toc]    [Back]

     void gflush()

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

     none

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     gflush guarantees that GL graphics	calls are flushed to the display
     hardware.

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

     finish

NOTE    [Toc]    [Back]

     The GL client buffers the output from most	graphics routines for
     efficient block transfer to the server. gflush sends all buffered but
     untransmitted graphics data to the	server.	Certain	graphics routines,
     notably those that	return values, also flush the client buffer when they
     execute.  On older	machines gflush	had an effect only when	rendering
     across the	network.  Modern machines queue	graphics commands even when
     rendering locally,	however, so gflush should be called for	both local and
     remote rendering applications.
