glutCreateMenu(3GLUT)		      GLUT		   glutCreateMenu(3GLUT)

NAME
     glutCreateMenu - creates a new pop-up menu.

SYNTAX
     int glutCreateMenu(void (*func)(int value));

ARGUMENTS
     func      The callback function for the menu that is called when a menu en-
	       try  from  the menu is selected. The value passed to the callback
	       is determined by the value for the selected menu entry.

DESCRIPTION
     glutCreateMenu creates a new pop-up menu and returns a unique small integer
     identifier. The range of allocated identifiers  starts  at  one.  The  menu
     identifier  range is separate from the window identifier range. Implicitly,
     the current menu is set to the newly created menu. This menu identifier can
     be used when calling glutSetMenu.

     When the menu callback is called because a menu entry is selected	for  the
     menu, the current menu will be implicitly set to the menu with the selected
     entry before the callback is made.

EXAMPLE
     Here  is  a  quick example of how to create a GLUT popup menu with two sub-
     menus and attach it to the right button of the current window:

       int submenu1, submenu2;

       submenu1 = glutCreateMenu(selectMessage);
       glutAddMenuEntry("abc", 1);
       glutAddMenuEntry("ABC", 2);
       submenu2 = glutCreateMenu(selectColor);
       glutAddMenuEntry("Green", 1);
       glutAddMenuEntry("Red", 2);
       glutAddMenuEntry("White", 3);
       glutCreateMenu(selectFont);
       glutAddMenuEntry("9 by 15", 0);
       glutAddMenuEntry("Times Roman 10", 1);
       glutAddMenuEntry("Times Roman 24", 2);
       glutAddSubMenu("Messages", submenu1);
       glutAddSubMenu("Color", submenu2);
       glutAttachMenu(GLUT_RIGHT_BUTTON);

X IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
     If available, GLUT for X will take advantage of overlay planes  for  imple-
     menting pop-up menus. The use of overlay planes can eliminate display call-
     backs when pop-up menus are deactivated. The SERVER_OVERLAY_VISUALS conven-
     tion is used to determine if overlay visuals are available.
