newbie opengl question
July 28, 2002 04:37 AM
This question is probably very newbie, but why is for example in NeHe''s tutorials GLVoid in the parameters of a function? e.g. int DrawGLScene(GLvoid)
Not only the function works if I remove the GLVoid from it, but also I HAVE to remove the GLVoid if I want other parameters, so where is it good for?

GLvoid (like void) simply means that function does not take any parameter - if you use void (or GLvoid, whatever), function mustn't take any parameter. You don't have to write GLvoid if you don't want to.
Instead of "GL*type*" you can easily use just "*type*" like this:
GLfloat - float

If you want to maintain cross-platform compatability, stick to using the GL data types.
