NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     stereobuffer - configures the framebuffer for stereoscopic	viewing

C SPECIFICATION    [Toc]    [Back]

     void stereobuffer(void)

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

     none

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     stereobuffer invokes stereoscopic buffer mode.  When stereobuffer is
     selected in conjunction with singlebuffer,	two color buffers (left	and
     right) are	allocated.  When stereobuffer is selected in conjunction with
     doublebuffer, four	color buffers (front-left, front-right,	back-left, and
     back-right) are allocated.

     stereobuffer does not take	effect until gconfig is	called.	 If neither
     monobuffer	nor stereobuffer is called, gconfig defaults to	monoscopic
     buffer mode.

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

     gconfig, monobuffer, setmon(1G)

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     stereobuffer configures the framebuffer to	store left and right images,
     but it does not cause these images	to be presented	correctly to the
     viewer.  setmon(1G) must be called	to display the stereo images
     correctly.

     When the framebuffer is not configured for	stereo display,	the left
     buffer is displayed.

     IRIS-4D G,	GT, GTX, VGX, and VGXT models, the Personal Iris, Indy,	Indigo
     Entry, XL,	XS, XS24, XZ, Elan and Extreme systems do not support
     stereobuffer.
